A Country Christmas Harmony (2022)

[bunniefuu]

Welcome back to

the Christmas Song Countdown

where we're reviewing all

the latest Christmas singles

from some of

your favorite artists.

I'm your h*-h* host,

Leslie Manalo,

letting you know

which songs made the nice list

and which songs did not.

Just this week, Chrissy Kessler

dropped her latest single,

Reindeer Slaay,

in advance of her upcoming

live TV Christmas concert.

But unfortunately for Kessler,

her new single

finds itself at the top

of our naughty list.

Hard to believe, right? I know.

Well, don't take my word for it.

Here's a clip

from the Reindeer Slaay

music video. Take a look.

Baby kiss me

under mistletoe

Hold me tight

and don't you ever let go

Baby I'm your present

unwrap me yeah I said it

Can't take it back

no gift receipt

I know you won't regret

We can go all night

up to Christmas Day

Let's take a ride

something off the way

h*-h*-h*

Let's hurry it up

Can't you know that I can't

wait? Get down to the rhythm

Everybody singing

it's a happy holiday

We're ticking over there's

nothing that can hold us

Now let's get

this song started

Play some reindeer games

Come on everybody

ah it's our Christmas party

Getting hot like a tody

when we reindeer slaay

Yeah

Ooh, naughty, naughty, naughty.

Typically known

for her soulful vocals,

Kessler has instead decided

to dive head-first

into the world

of over-produced pop.

Now, while that style works

for other artists,

it fits Kessler like a Santa

Suit fits a Christmas gnome.

- Someone call Rudolph.

- Oh, how about that?

'Cause Santa is not coming

to town.

Time to jingle all the way out.

That was your last warning,

Chrissy.

If you watch anymore coverage

on Reindeer Slaay,

I'm putting you in a time-out.

At this point, a time-out sounds

like a nice break

from real life.

I'm serious, honey.

Okay, Eugene.

I promise, TV stays off.

Why?

And that includes

staying off all social,

or looking up any articles.

What? I was texting

my manicurist.

I've been making all of your

appointments for the past

ten years, you wouldn't know

your manicurist's number

if it came screaming down

your chimney on Christmas Eve.

- All right.

- Oh, speaking of appointments.

We have to be at your manager's

office in 30 minutes.

Oh, right.

If anyone can fix this

nightmare release, it's Carole.

Do you mind if I give you

a little tough love,

my beautiful, amazing,

best friend in the entire world?

Oh, dear, if you're already

buttering me up,

this is gonna be bad. Okay. Go.

Don't get your hopes up,

Carole is good,

but what you need

is a Christmas miracle.

Well, then I guess it's a good

thing I believe in miracles.

- You have my water, right?

- And my earphones, your purse.

Give me just a reason

to believe

'Cause I've been waiting

all year long

Under the Christmas tree

I don't

- Thank you.

- Is that my favorite client?

Good to see you, my dear.

Right this way.

We've no time to waste.

Well, first of all

I just wanna say thank you

for scrambling to come up

with a plan.

And I'm very excited to hear it.

But I've also been doing a lot

of thinking about everything.

When I was first starting out,

I felt good knowing

that I was doing

everything I could

to chase my dreams.

But lately it just feels like

I'm chasing trends.

And I just wanna get back

to the real me.

And that's precisely

what we're going to do.

You, my dear,

have an opportunity

to turn everything around

with your upcoming

televised Christmas concert.

First, the label would like

to cut bait on Reindeer Slaay.

Instead, you're going to debut

a brand-new single live on-air.

We've reached out to several

writers and they're coming up

with brand-new songs

as we speak.

Okay. Um, what if I don't hear

anything that I like?

Maybe I should try

and write something.

I mean, I know it's been a while

since I've written my own stuff.

You can certainly try,

but we can't count on that.

You're gonna be very busy

rehearsing for the concert.

Okay. Sure.

And thankfully we only

have the one original song

to try and figure out.

For the rest of the concert,

we were thinking you'd perform

songs from your

last Christmas album.

That's a great idea.

Those songs,

they really had heart.

I couldn't agree more.

And from the heart is exactly

what this concert needs,

which is why

this next piece of the plan

is the most important part.

Chrissy Kessler,

Home For The Holidays.

The label, the network and I

have come up

with the idea

to re-brand the concert

in an effort

to rehabilitate your image.

Instead of performing

in Nashville at a big arena,

you'll be performing in front

of friends and family,

live from your hometown

of Cedar Pines.

- Oh. No. No, no.

- No, no.

- I'm sorry. No, I can't.

- Just wait, Chrissy.

- Hear me, hear me out.

- Y-you-you don't understand.

- Just hear me out.

- No, you just don't understand.

Okay? I-I don't have any family

or friends left there.

I haven't been back home

since I left for Nashville

ten years ago.

I would really, really like to

keep my past where it belongs.

- I understand. I really do.

- Okay.

And if you don't wanna go,

you don't have to.

Okay. Okay.

But if I'm being honest,

I'm really worried, Chrissy.

The label isn't happy.

And if this concert

doesn't go well,

I'm afraid they might drop you.

I'm sorry, honey,

but that's the truth.

You really think

this plan will work?

I really do.

Okay.

- I'll go.

- Hm.

You'll both leave tonight.

Your tickets

have already been purchased.

And try not to be so worried.

This is gonna work.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, where did she say

we were going?

Home, sweet home.

I'm so sorry, babe,

I really thought we'd get

to spend Christmas together

this year.

Stop apologizing,

if it's not you

that has to leave for work,

it's me.

But after five years

of spending the holidays apart,

I think we've perfected

the FaceTime Christmas.

You sure you can't fly out?

No, I wish,

but I gotta work, too.

You know I'd be there in a

heartbeat if I could take off.

- I know.

- I love you.

The magic happens

I'm really sorry, I know how

much you were looking forward

to spending Christmas together

this year.

Mm. I'll be okay.

But what about you?

How do you feel being home?

I can tell you're nervous

because you're doing

the water thing.

- What water thing?

- The same water thing you do.

Every time you get nervous.

You've been sipping that

non-stop.

Uh-huh.

I have avoided this place

for the last decade.

What was I thinking

agreeing to come back?

Decade? When did your parents

move away again?

They retired to Key West

almost immediately

after I left for Nashville.

They're so funny.

My mom started calling herself

Key Lime Kathy.

Okay, so your parents

don't live here, but...

But what?

Come on.

The guy you left behind?

You know, broke up

with him on Christmas morning,

in a letter, before running away

to Nashville.

Any of this ring a bell?

Why do you know

everything about my life?

Because you tell me everything

about your life.

- It's true.

- So?

Does this man still live here?

The man's name is Luke,

and I wouldn't know.

We haven't spoken since I left.

And I'd really like

to keep it that way.

So if you happen to

see him around town

somewhere, please warn me.

Oh, how? I don't even know

what he looks like.

You know, 6'2,

eyes that light up a room

and a jawline so sharp,

you could chop down

Christmas trees with it.

Wow, okay.

We need to find somewhere

with a bathroom. Quick!

All right, see you. Thanks.

Have a good night.

So, grandma, you being helpful

over there or just a pain?

Oh, look, someone left their

number for you on their receipt.

- So a pain, then.

- But this one looks nice.

I mean, she took the time

to draw

a little happy face

and everything.

You're impossible.

Oh, the last thing I need

right now is a girlfriend.

Oh, you can say that

till you're blue in the face,

but it doesn't mean it's true.

When was the last time

you went out on a date, anyhow?

Had to be right before

your sister passed.

- Grandma, please.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I know it's uncomfortable.

But I think this is something

that you need to hear.

Look at me, Luke.

Now, your sister

was a fine girl.

I've never known a sweeter woman

in my whole life.

And what happened to her

wasn't fair.

First her husband walks out,

then the accident.

But what you did,

deciding to take over this bar,

keep her legacy alive,

then stepping up

to raise her boy.

Well, I never knew really

what faith was until I saw that.

But Brandon

is ten years old now.

I know he'd understand

if, if you found a lady.

How can you be so sure?

I mean...

What if I meet someone

and he doesn't like her?

I feel like

something like that could,

could really mess a kid up.

Or he could fall in love

with her, same as you.

Like I said, last thing I need

right now is a distraction.

Ooh. Oh!

Oh.

So sorry to just

run in here like that.

But seriously,

you saved me from a disaster.

- Chrissy?

- Luke.

What is taking her so long?

Six-foot-two,

eyes that light up a room,

a jawline that could chop down

a Christmas tree.

Oh, no. This isn't good.

Okay, enough with the theatrics.

You'd think

the ghost of Marilyn Monroe

just walked in

looking for a stiff one.

Oh, my goodness. Pearl.

I-I didn't even see you

standing there.

- Of course you didn't.

- Hi.

Oh. Well, I know her,

but I don't know you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I should have introduced myself.

I'm Eugene, Chrissy's assistant.

Oh, no need to apologize.

It's quite the shock

for everybody.

I'm Pearl, and that there

is my grandson, Luke.

- Hi.

- Oh. It's good to see you, kid.

- Oh, you look great.

- Oh!

No! I look like a little

old lady who dyes her hair red.

- No.

- You look great.

Oh, stop it.

You're gonna make me blush.

So, brings you back here?

Hello to you, too.

Home For The Holidays.

So you're back here

for Christmas or...

Yeah. I mean,

that is the big night.

Isn't that lovely?

What's it been?

Ten years and some change?

I bet Chrissy doesn't even know

you're running

your own restaurant.

Why don't you bring her here

for dinner?

Show off that prize-winning menu

of yours.

Say, isn't tomorrow

your day off?

Ah, y-yes, it is,

but I-I actually can't...

Well, I can't tomorrow,

actually, because I'm busy.

- Well, I'm busy too, so I can't.

- Oh, you're busy?

- Yeah, can't do it.

- What do you mean you can't?

I have more of a social life

than you, and by more,

I mean, I actually have one.

- Chrissy, honey.

- Yes.

You've been gone a long time.

Some things around here

haven't changed.

What I say still goes.

So you are having dinner

with my grandson,

and that's all there is to it.

Yes, ma'am.

- Okay. Thoughts?

- I like it.

What? It's so boring!

Like, I thought

the striped one was boring,

but this one's so boring,

I just fell asleep looking at it

while describing its insane

level of boringness.

- Brandon!

- I'm sorry.

But yesterday I didn't even know

you knew Chrissy Kessler.

No wonder you play her music

all the time.

Is that so?

I wouldn't say

it's all the time.

No, he does, and then tonight

not only did I find out

that you know her,

but Grandma Pearl tells me that

you're going on a date with her.

So it's obviously

the coolest thing ever.

But that tie still doesn't work,

and you really

can't wear it, so...

Tough crowd. Okay, fine.

And why are you telling him

I'm going on a date?

Isn't it a date?

Did you just answer my question

with a question?

Did you just answer my question

with a question?

Okay, first of all,

it's not a date.

And second of all,

the only reason I'm going

is because you're making me.

Oh. I'm out of ties.

I know.

Do you...

Oh, wow!

That right there is a tie.

Where, where did you

get this from?

I bought it with my allowance.

It was worth every cent.

Okay. Wow. Then...

- You have to wear it.

- I probably should wear it.

I mean, you bought it.

Bring it over here.

Let's try it on. Thank you.

This one off.

Hi, guys,

so while I'm back home,

I thought I would show you

a little bit of the town

that I grew up in.

This right here

is my favorite spot in town.

Great food, better drinks.

And whenever I come back

for a visit,

I will not leave

until I come here

to check out the local talent

and, you know,

knock back a few

with a couple of old friends.

- Is that right?

- Hi.

Oh. We'll just

pick this up later.

- Got it. Have fun!

- Um, sorry about that.

I just promised my team that

I would post as much as possible

while I'm in town.

It's alright.

Oh, gosh. Oh, God.

Gosh.

Sorry.

So, here we are.

- Yup.

- Yeah, this is strange.

- Yeah, it's... Yeah, extremely.

- Isn't it?

Yeah.

Um...

Oh, you don't, you don't need

to worry about that, I already

told the boys in the back

what to bring out to the table.

How do you know what I want?

Hm. Yeah. You're right.

Never could figure out

what you wanted.

I meant what I wanted to eat.

Thanks, buddy.

You know what, if we're gonna

have dinner together,

can we at least

try and be civil?

It's been ten years, Luke.

Maybe it would be nice

to just, just catch up

without butting heads.

I was being rude.

Can we just start again?

Well, it sounds like a plan.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

- You said that? What?

- Do you remember...

Do you remember this one, the

show we did in that little bar

way out in, like,

Jackson County?

Well, like, what, three people

showed up? Maybe four?

Yeah. Yeah, I... Ah.

You remember the guy

with the pig?

- You remember that?

- The pig!

Oh, my gosh.

I forgot about the pig.

You almost got punched

that night.

Ah, well, yeah, I guess

I probably shouldn't have said

we accept

all tips including bacon.

You didn't have my back,

by the way.

- What was I supposed to do?

- I don't know.

I would've sold you out

in a hot second.

Man...

Oh. Wow. It, this is so...

It's-it's just weird to think

that all we had back then

were some crappy used guitars

and a couple of,

couple of picks I stole

from the school band room.

Why anyone would wanna

come out and hear

two very amateur singers

who are just starting out?

Oh, you can just stop

with the false modesty.

- No...

- Ah.

People came to hear

you sing. Yeah.

Well, don't sell

yourself short, Luke.

I mean,

maybe I had the better voice.

Just a, just a little bit.

You know, but the songs

I wrote for myself

were never as good

as the ones you wrote for me.

And all anybody could talk

about back then

was the magic you were making

with that guitar.

Yeah, well,

not anymore, they're not.

These days the only thing

I'm famous for around here

are my ribs.

Well, that's a shame.

No. No, it's, it's fine.

Really. Yeah.

You know,

all those years on the road,

I, I just realized

that having a place to call home

was more important to me

than music was.

Home is right here

in Cedar Pines.

So I guess we, uh,

I guess we both

kinda got what we wanted, right?

I guess we did.

Yeah.

Okay, well, I gotta ask.

Who is the girl?

The, the what?

Oh, come on.

I know that you did not pick out

that awful tie all on your own.

- This tie? Right.

- It's terrible.

You are right.

I did not pick this out.

- Um...

- Yeah.

Uh, yeah, Brandon,

Brandon picked this out.

- My nephew.

- That's funny.

Yeah. Um, uh...

My sister, uh, she actually, um,

she passed away a couple

of years after you left.

And so I, uh, I adopted him

as soon as I could.

I had no idea.

Luke, I'm so sorry.

Um, if it's okay with you,

I would really love to meet

Brandon.

I'm sure we can, uh, figure

something out.

Okay.

Oh, you should bring him

to the concert.

Uh, w-w-what concert?

I told you last night.

Home For The Holidays.

I came home to do

a live Christmas concert

from back where it all began.

Chrissy Kessler,

Home For The Holidays.

- Right.

- Yeah.

What?

Here I thought

that you came back

because you actually missed

this place.

This whole thing

is just a big publicity stunt.

- Isn't it? Really?

- No. It's not. Really.

Well, then, then what was

that crap you were saying when

I walked in here, about how this

was your favorite restaurant,

you know, and you liked to come

and catch up

with old friends or whatever?

Because we both know

you've never been

to this restaurant,

because my sister

bought this place

a couple of months

after you left.

I...

You, you're this big star,

Chrissy.

There isn't an ounce

of authenticity left in you.

I mean, because when I knew you,

there wasn't a dirt road

in this entire town

you didn't know.

I bet you couldn't even find it

on a map.

Exactly.

You know, you shouldn't be

calling your concert

Home For The Holidays

when you don't even know

what that word means anymore.

When you came

How on Earth

am I gonna write this?

Hi, Carole. Hi.

Have you had a chance to listen

to any of the demos I sent?

I did. Uh, yeah,

I listened to all of 'em.

I-I don't know. It's just, none

of 'em really felt right to me.

Oh. Don't worry.

We'll find something.

All right, yeah. Is that all?

No. I had an idea.

And I need you to hear me out

before sh**ting it down, okay?

- Oh, I'm already nervous.

- Nothing to be nervous about.

Your publicist and I

have been chatting,

and we were thinking how much

amazing press you'd get

if you reunited with Brad Love

at your concert.

- No. No way.

- Now, wait, hear me out.

What if you guys

did a duet together?

Maybe sing a classic

Christmas song together.

No, no, no, no.

Brad and I are through.

And I don't care how good the

publicity is, it's not worth

getting back together

with your ex.

I've had all I can take

of ex-boyfriends.

- What's that?

- Ah, uh, nothing. What?

Anyway, I don't know

why you think Brad is so awful.

I'm not just saying thisbecause

you're both my clients,

but you guys

were really good together.

Honestly, I don't even remember

why you all broke up.

Well, I-I never said

he was awful.

We broke up because

Brad Love puts Brad Love first.

All right, all right. I'll drop

the Brad thing for now.

No, no. Not-not for now.

For always.

Mm, maybe you'll change

your mind.

- Nope. Never gonna happen.

- Never know.

- Okay. Buh-bye, Carole.

- Chat soon, Chrissy.

- You seem kinda worked up today.

- Yeah, I am!

Carole called this morning

trying to get me

back together with my ex,

which is the last thing I need

after last night's dinner

with Luke, who basically told me

he thinks I'm a total fake,

and then stormed out

of his own restaurant.

And now I'm marching through

Cedar Pines, my hometown,

that I haven't been back to

in ten years,

and honestly,

it's all a little stressful.

And that's why

I have to buy that bicycle.

- I'm sorry. What?

- Because of Luke.

Huh? You're scaring me.

Luke said that I didn't know

this town anymore.

Probably couldn't even find it

on a map,

or something like that.

Well, I'm gonna show him.

I'm gonna get a bike

and I'm gonna ride it

down the dirt roads

that I was raised on.

- Makes sense now?

- Yeah.

When you explain it with

a complete set of words

and then put those words

in a specific context,

it makes perfect sense.

No, not fair, you're not

allowed to make me laugh

when I'm upset.

Too bad.

Look, I know what Luke said

was hard to hear.

- But maybe he was right.

- What does that mean?

You haven't been back

in ten years.

Maybe you don't remember

this place as well

as you think you do.

And I know it was hard for you

to come back.

But did you ever consider

that this isn't so easy

for Luke either?

No. I didn't. Thank you, Eugene.

Is this hat on too tight,

or is that Chrissy Kessler?

Bruce! Ah!

- Hi! How are you? Oh.

- Wonderful!

Oh, sh**t,

I always knew you'd come home.

- And isn't a second too soon.

- Oh, my goodness!

- I have missed you, Bruce.

- I missed you, too.

Oh, unbelievable, I was just

coming by to buy a bike

and ride around town today.

No, you're not buying anything.

We'll find something

for you to ride.

Just bring it back in one piece.

- Are you sure?

- Mm-hmm. Absolutely.

- Wouldn't have it any other way.

- Thank you.

Uh, Chrissy,

I think you have a stalker.

Oh, no.

This is my assistant, Eugene.

Oh. It's a pleasure to meet you.

And you as well.

I've known this young lady since

she was knee-high

to a grasshopper.

Chrissy would come every week

with her dad,

and while he was looking

at camping gear,

she would play with this old cat

that liked to hang around

the shop.

A mean little tabby

who liked to sass the customers.

Sassed me once or twice, too,

and I did not like it.

Oh, I remember that cat.

Anyway, that old cat will only

let one person ever pet him.

- And that was Chrissy.

- That's right.

I guess even a evil,

mean, old, grumpy sourpuss

knew a good egg when he saw one.

- That's very sweet of ya, Bruce.

- Well, it's true.

Now, about that bike,

I think I know the perfect one.

Okay.

- Bruce.

- Good people.

- Such good people.

- Really good people.

- Oh. Ahem.

- Oh, wow.

A reindeer bike.

Just like your new song.

- Wow! That is quite a bike.

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, oh, Chrissy, would you mind

if I took Rudolph here

for a spin?

Oh. You know what?

You go for it.

- I'm-I'm gonna walk.

- Oh, awesome.

- Bruce, I'll see you later.

- See ya.

Okay.

Can't you feel the rush?

Out there's still cold

and sets your cheeks aflush

Look how the light's

so bright you can't adjust

Like breaking harmony

The silver bells

are ringing loudest

Joyful tides among

the crowds and

Miracles will

come on wings

I can't wait

for Christmas Day

Chrissy?

Oh, no. Oh.

Ooh. Oh! Uh...

- Wait, Chrissy, what are you...

- I'm okay!

All right, come inside.

It's about to pour.

God! Ah!

Ahem.

Tea?

Appreciate that,

but that's really not necessary.

I won't be here much longer.

I'm leaving as soon

as this storm clears up.

Well, I wouldn't hold

your breath.

Still no power and

all the roads are washed out.

I won't be able

to drive you back to the lodge

until tomorrow morning.

Oh, just a nightmare.

Ow.

Well, this is lovely.

So, you, uh, I don't know,

wanna explain to me

what you were doing

out there or..

I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, you know what,

maybe it has something to do

with that little rant of yours

last night.

Maybe I should have just

left you out in the rain.

Luke, you basically said

I didn't belong here anymore,

that I don't have the right

to call this place home.

You know what the worst part

of all this is?

You were right.

You were right.

I should have come back sooner.

And I wish I hadn't stayed away

for so long.

Can I ask why you did?

I mean, was it because

you were ashamed

of your hometown roots

after you became famous?

No, no.

It's the exact opposite.

Luke...

Leaving Cedar Pines was

one of the toughest decisions

I've ever had to make.

And I was afraid

that if I came back,

I just wouldn't have

the strength to leave again.

Um, I always wondered

about that.

Say, um, I told Brandon

I would make Christmas cookies

for him and his friends.

He's sleeping at Pearl's house.

And given

we have nothing better to do,

would you like to help me frost

'em, so I can surprise him

when he gets here

in the morning?

Yeah. Sounds fun.

- Great. Okay.

- Okay.

On the ground

So you mentioned last night

you were doing a concert

here in town.

- I am.

- Well, that's exciting.

Thanks.

If I'm completely honest, I'm

extremely stressed out about it.

Yeah? Why is that?

I released a song called

Reindeer Slaay,

and to say the least,

it did not slay at all.

Yeah. I, um,

I keep up with your career.

- You do?

- Of course, I do.

Ah, continue.

Right. So I agreed to debut

a new song at my concert.

Problem is, all the songs that

they've sent me aren't any good,

and I'd rather write

an original song.

But truth be told,

I have been off my game

for quite some time now.

- Three chords.

- What?

The key to writing a good song

is three chords and the truth.

Don't overthink it.

I mean, Luke...

you're brilliant.

Thank you, but that was not

mine. It is a famous quote...

No, not that, when you said,

"Don't overthink it,"

that's exactly what I'm doing,

I'm over-thinking it.

What are you getting at?

I just mean there's no way

I'm gonna be able

to magically write a hit song

in five days,

because I'm way too in my head.

And I don't want to debut a new

song written by a stranger.

- I just don't.

- Yeah.

We'll soon be home

for Christmas

What if you wrote a song

with me?

Oh, gosh! I-I don't, I don't...

I don't know about that.

Please. Please, Luke.

This means everything to me.

And you are the best songwriter

I have ever met.

Chrissy, I-I appreciate that,

and I-I would help,

but I don't even know

if I know how to anymore.

I mean, I can't even remember

the last time

I picked up a guitar.

No time like the present.

I'm sorry, Chrissy.

Okay, okay, okay, listen.

Do you remember when we were

still gigging together?

It didn't matter if they wanted

to book us or not.

You would do anything

to get them to let us play.

You know, and sometimes

you would offer a trade.

Like, in Lake City

when you promised

that we would bus tables

for a week

if they let us play

three songs on stage?

Ah...

Okay. So?

So you agree to write the song

and I promise, I will do

anything you want.

I don't want anything,

Chrissy. Uh...

All right,

maybe you don't want anything,

but someone you know might.

I do actually know someone

who needs something.

When you walked in that bar,

Pearl lit up.

You mean a lot to the people

of this town, Chrissy.

You're the one that made it.

Every song you release,

every video that premieres,

everybody gets together

every time to watch them.

Um, yeah, I, uh,

I didn't realize that.

Anyways, Pearl asked me

to host her annual

Christmas Eve party.

You know,

she's slowing down a bit,

so I told her I would help.

I remember that party.

No one throws a Christmas bash

like your grandma.

Nope. And she puts

a lot of pride in that party.

Yeah.

The point is, I know how much

it would mean to everyone

to see you perform here again.

And, oh, and if you sing

at grandma's party,

well, that would just about

make her life.

So if you want me to help you

write this Christmas song...

Consider it done.

That was fast.

You have yourself a deal.

Oh. What have I done?

- You're gonna love it.

- Oh, man.

Well, I'm exhausted.

Yeah. Yeah, you read my mind.

I'm tired, too.

And I don't think you're getting

out of here anytime soon.

No.

So why don't I

make a bed on the couch and...

- Well...

- Yeah. Yeah, that's perfect.

- Thank you.

- Great.

We'll clean this up

in the morning. Yeah.

I love leaving dishes

for tomorrow.

All right.

- There you go.

- Thanks.

Mm. It's cozy.

What?

Oh.

It's just been a while

since I've seen you

wrapped in that blanket.

Yeah.

I noticed you don't have

many Christmas decorations up.

You don't even have a tree.

Yeah.

Well... it's been a while

since I've felt like

celebrating Christmas, so...

Right.

All right.

Goodnight, Chrissy.

Goodnight, Luke.

Hey. You must be Brandon.

- Wait. Y-you know my name?

- Y-you know what, you're good.

You're good. Good with

the syrup, good with the syrup.

Uh, um, you know, I-I'm, like,

your biggest fan.

I-I love all your music.

That so? Even Reindeer Slaay?

Um, is that a trick question?

You're funny!

You know, I-I always suspected

that I'm funny, so...

- You're right.

- Oh, wow.

I see the two of you

have already met.

Uncle Luke,

she thinks I'm funny.

- Yeah. Yeah. Funny-looking.

- No.

- Can I make you some breakfast?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, Uncle Luke, do you think

she can come with us

to buy the Christmas tree

for your restaurant?

Oh, bud, I'm sure she's got

better things she needs to...

I'm not busy.

We don't start rehearsals again

until tomorrow.

Okay. Great.

Perfect, and we'll pick up

a tree

for your place, too,

while we're at it.

- Sweet!

- Oh.

Two trees. Even better.

Double the fun.

Ha-ha, no, you're

lying, Chrissy didn't actually

get stuck

at her ex-boyfriend's house.

I swear. She had to

spend the night and everything.

Wow. You are never going to

let her live this down, are you?

Oh, honey. Never.

I should probably go.

Chrissy is here to buy

a couple of Christmas trees.

She'll need my help

carrying them to the car.

- Okay, go. Love you.

- Love you, too.

Well, let's just get one.

- A tree is a tree, isn't it?

- Ah, no.

Okay, like, a spruce is not good

for a Christmas tree.

It just loses its shape

too fast.

But, like, this one,

right here, this one's perfect.

You cannot go wrong

with a classic Fraser fir.

Okay, okay. Great.

We found our tree. Let's get it.

All right.

Brandon, what do you think?

- Brandon?

- Brandon?

- Brandon?

- Brandon!

Oh, found him, Luke.

- Hey. Hey.

- Hey, Brandon.

You gotta stay with us, bud.

Oh.

So who's the lady?

Her name is Emily.

Okay. All right. Are you gonna,

you gonna talk to her?

You're just gonna

stand here and stare?

- Can't talk.

- Oh, come on.

Just, just go up to her.

You got this.

Cannot talk.

Okay. Well,

now you sound like a robot.

Okay. Come here. I'm gonna,

I'm gonna help you out.

- Come here.

- What are you doing?

So rule number one,

if you want a girl to like you,

she has to notice you first,

right?

And what is the best way

to do that? Is dance.

Hey, got anything funky?

- I got you.

- Okay.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about the moves.

It's about confidence inside.

Okay?

Okay. Listen to the music.

Feel it? Yeah? And...

Yeah! You got it.

You're better than-than you

think you thought out to be.

Come on, Brandon,

show us what you got.

Yes!

Yes!

Hey, thanks for helping

Brandon out today.

Aww. He's too cute.

Little Casanova in training.

I sure wish he'd slow down.

Well, I'm not ready

for him to grow up.

Well, I think you got some time.

He doesn't even know how to

pour syrup over pancakes yet.

- What's in the box? Hm.

- Oh, yeah. This?

It's a... You know, some stuff

from back in the day.

It's...

Let's see here. We got...

Oh. Tickets

from our first concerts.

What is that?

- Wow! I have not seen this.

- What is that?

No...

It's our Live At The Dockhouse

flyer.

Oh, look at the music notes

we put on there.

Oh, my...

We have a very early recording

from the one and only

Chrissy Kessler.

- Oh, dear.

- And, of course, yours truly.

I can't believe

you kept all of this.

Don't know when it happened

I don't know when I fell

I look from across the room

I knew that you could tell

Something changed

Man, we were good.

It was so hard to breathe

Yeah. We were.

Struck me in my heart

the way you looked at me

Oh, I remember.

Smile so bright

That sparkle in your eyes

This much you make me feel

That I can't keep inside

So baby

don't you leave tonight

Stay with me till morning

Luke?

Don't let this moment

fade away

I never meant to leave you

on Christmas.

Oh, it's, it's in the past,

Chrissy.

- It's fine.

- No, wait, please. Please.

Please, just, let me just

say this once, okay, and then

I'll never mention it again.

What we don't have to say

Okay.

Yes

Christmas morning,

my parents surprised me

with a gift.

My mom was wiping away tears

and I didn't understand why

until I saw

what she was holding.

It was a one-way ticket

to Nashville.

And they were so happy for me.

And I just, I just remember

being so, so scared.

I mean, that was everything

I ever wanted.

But you have no idea

how terrifying a dream can be

until you have the chance

to chase it.

And I remember, I sat there

in my room for hours,

and all I could think about

was you.

Not Nashville, not my dream...

you.

Luke, I wanted you

to come with me,

but you had already made it

perfectly clear

that you had no intention

of ever leaving Cedar Pines.

And I-I just knew, I knew

that if I didn't break it off

right then, I never would.

I was, I was 28,

and I felt like

that this was my last chance,

you know,

to take my, take my shot.

And all I could think to do

at that time

was write a note...

and slip it under your door.

And I knew that

you would never ever call me

'cause you just said

that if I ever chose to leave,

that you wouldn't stop me.

You have no idea how many times

I reached for that phone

to call you.

I swear,

I never meant to hurt you,

especially on Christmas.

I mean, our first kiss

as teenagers

was on Christmas Eve, Luke.

You deserved so much better.

I am very, very sorry.

Oh.

Well...

I mean, if I'm being honest,

I, I was hurt back then.

That's okay.

These past couple of days

I have started to think

about life back then

through a different lens.

How can I resent my past

when you are my past, Chrissy?

No.

What do say we go back in time?

Even if it's just for a night?

Greatest moment

here in time

There ain't nothin' more

to hide

We can see it in our eyes

What we don't have to say

yeah

Ah yeah

What we don't have to say

I'm not letting go

this time

And I'll be here tomorrow

Hey, guys,

before we get started...

Um, you know, uh,

when I made the decision

to come back to Cedar Pines

to do this concert,

I knew that this spot

was where I wanted to stage it.

The very first time

I played for an audience

was right here on Main Street.

Of course, back then

I was the opening act

at the Cedar Pines County Fair.

Thank you very much.

And I know

it-it doesn't sound like much,

but, uh, uh, I don't know,

it felt like

the opportunity of a lifetime.

The point is

I still feel that same way

every single time

I get to perform for a crowd

whether big or small.

So I just, I don't know,

I just wanted you

to try and think about that

while we're rehearsing today.

You know, this place

is part of my story.

All right. Let's do this.

Dashing through the snow

in a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring

More of it.

Yeah. Yeah. There we go.

Bye, guys. Thank you.

- There she is.

- Hi.

Gingerbread latte

from the Coffee Corner.

Oh, you read my mind! Mm.

Oh...

Why is this still the best

gingerbread latte in the world?

Well, because

it's locally-sourced

farm-to-table gingerbread men...

Stop it! Stop it!

- Come on.

- I didn't know this side of you.

How, how were rehearsals?

Ah, you know, they went

as good as they could go,

all things considered.

I told you that we would get

this song. Don't worry.

I know, I know,

but I am worried.

Carole and the label

are both losing patience.

I don't know, Luke, if we don't

come up with something quick,

they're gonna make me

sing those demos.

Well...

Oh.

- That her?

- Yeah. Relentless.

You know, you don't need

someone else

calling the shots for you,

because not only

are you talented,

you're also

the smartest woman I know.

You could easily be calling

your own shots.

Thank you, Luke.

You know, that's exactly why

we have to keep working

on this song.

Yes. Right after we get to work

decorating the bar.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

- Brandon, Pearl already there.

Oh. Let's pick the pace, then.

Ah, we have a lot of work to do

and exactly zero time.

No time. Let's go.

Just lettin' you know.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Who's ready to decorate?

I have been ready to decorate

this place since May.

Hey, Uncle Luke,

Grandma Pearl said

that I get to choose the music

this time.

All right, go for it, buddy.

I already know what I'm playin'.

It's my all-time favorite

Christmas song,

Jingle Bells,

the Chrissy edition.

Aww...

Dashing through the snow

in a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring

making spirits bright

What fun it is

to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in

a one-horse open sleigh hey

Jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

Now the ground is white

do it while you're young

Take the girls tonight

and sing this sleighing song

Just get a bobtailed bay

two forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack

you'll take the lead

Oh jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in

a one-horse open sleigh hey

Jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

All right, grandma. Get in here.

Here's the moment.

- Oh!

- All right, we ready?

Plug her in, bud.

- Ah!

- Ooh!

- Oh.

- Okay.

Sweet.

I don't know. Like, w...

- Yeah. Well?

- I don't know.

It all feels like junk,

everything we've written.

I feel like,

like I'm letting you down.

No, not everything is junk.

I kinda liked the last song

we came up with.

What was that?

When The Rooster Crows

It's Christmas?

When The Rooster Crows,

It's Christmas.

- Wait, what does that even mean?

- I think it means...

It's time to call it a night.

Yeah.

If that's not

some kind of omen...

No. Look, Chrissy, I...

I don't know

if I have it in me anymore.

I mean, I-I know what I-I said,

and I, and I meant it,

but I don't see

how we're gonna get this done

in the next two days.

Listen, you've written

some really nice stuff, Luke.

Don't flatter me.

It's not gonna work.

I'm not. It's in there. It is.

Maybe.

But you're right.

It's kinda gettin' late.

We both need to rest up

for the big party tomorrow.

Oh, by the way,

can you check on Pearl

and make sure she's got

her snow tires on?

I hear we're supposed to get

the first heavy snow

of the season tomorrow,

just in time for Christmas Eve.

Hey, don't worry about it.

You're off the hook.

I couldn't help you

write your song,

so you don't have to play

at the party.

- Deal's a deal.

- What deal?

Song or no song,

I will be there.

You know you're stuck

with me now, Luke.

Thank you, Chrissy.

Don't mention it.

Besides, I already promised

Pearl I'd stay and guard

while she spiked the eggnog.

Oh, boy.

Well, seein' you there tomorrow

is gonna mean a whole lot

to those folks.

Means a whole lot to me, too.

Wrapped up tight

- Goodnight, Luke.

- Goodnight, Chrissy.

- Want me to walk you out?

- No.

Heard my wish

'Cause all I've ever wanted

was a Christmas

Yeah all I ever wanted

Was a Christmas

Like this

Over the world

A star is sweetly gleaming

And there's no signs

of it stopping.

We're expecting anywhere

from six to eight inches

of snow tonight,

I am urging everyone

to stay off the roads and

remain at home. Back to you.

Well, that's that.

Don't suppose

there'll be a party tonight.

Yeah. Is Pearl gonna

let the guests know?

Yeah, I think she was waiting

for the official word.

I imagine she's probably letting

everybody know right now.

Tsk. So sorry, Luke.

Man!

All of this for nothing.

Not nothing.

Night divine

What?

O night

What are you doing?

Well, it's still Christmas Eve.

- Isn't it?

- Yeah.

Then there's still cause

to celebrate.

Oh.

Fair enough.

- What have we got here?

- It's the least I could do.

For you.

O night

Divine

Thank you.

- Merry Christmas Eve.

- Ditto.

Ah...

- It's nice.

- It's very nice.

So, got you

a little Christmas gift.

- You did?

- Yeah.

It's just a little something.

It's not even wrapped.

Oh, glad to see you didn't go

to too much trouble.

Stop.

- Okay.

- Hm.

- You're ready?

- Mm-hmm.

After you stole this

from the band room at school,

do you remember what you did?

You gave it to me.

This is still the only one

I ever use.

I think this pick is lucky.

I really do.

And now...

I want you to have it back.

Well...

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Well, I guess

if we're exchanging gifts...

it's only fair I give you yours.

- You got me a gift?

- Mm, just a little one.

You want to, uh,

go take a seat over there?

Okay.

How about you sit in here?

Well, thank you.

I, uh, just...

After you left last night,

I, uh, started

to think about us,

and, uh, and it hit me.

I knew exactly what this song

was always meant to be about.

You wrote the song?

Yeah.

Well, couple of verses

and the chorus.

- But..

- All right. Okay, okay.

Let's hear it.

It's been a while.

Been a little rusty.

But thank goodness

I have my lucky pick.

Yeah.

It's called

Sweet Sixteen Christmas.

I used to ride my bike

to Maple Street

Uh you'd always be there

on the porch

Christmas mornin'

We used to run all day

under the snow

Play hide and seek

when the lights got low

I didn't know that one day

I'd see you differently

One day

I'd just want you to be mine

Oh oh oh mine

Sweet sixteen Christmas

How could I forget the day?

Yeah sweet sixteen

Christmas

Showing me how to love

with mistletoe above

Sweet sixteen Christmas

I knew you were the one

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

All of this time

I spent away from you

After things ended

way too fast

Can we go back to memories

of Christmas past?

I just hope

they always last

That I still have time

to make you mine

Sweet sixteen Christmas

How could I forget the day?

Yeah

Sweet sixteen Christmas

Showing me how to love

with mistletoe above

Sweet sixteen Christmas

I knew you were the one

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

That's our story.

Yeah. It is.

Luke.

We've always been a part

of each other, Chrissy.

Mm-hmm.

And always will be.

Chrissy.

Brad?

Why is Brad Love here?

I have no idea.

Looks like

I'm interrupting something?

Yeah, kinda.

Ah, uh, Luke.

Brad Love.

Didn't ever think

I'd be meeting you like this.

I know. It can be disorienting

to meet a celebrity.

But I'll let you in

on our little secret.

We're just people.

That's not what I meant, but...

- Thanks. Um...

- Babe.

You have no idea

how happy I am to see you.

You know how crazy

the weather is out there?

Brad Love really made it through

that blizzard, but luckily

for him, a fearless local

agreed to drive him over here.

Does he always refer to himself

in the third person?

No, but sometimes I say

my own name in a sentence.

My name is my brand.

Babe.

- Let's grab a drink.

- Hm.

There is so much

I wanna tell you.

Brad.

Do you mind giving us a second

to talk?

Yeah.

No, take, take all the time

you want. I'm out of here.

- Wait, Luke, don't leave.

- Just turn the lights off.

- When you're done.

- No, wait! Wait!

Do you mind telling me

what the heck is going on?

I've been trying to get a hold

of you for days.

I've been busy.

Okay.

This taken?

Go for it.

Who was that?

I'd rather not talk about him.

Of course.

I really didn't mean to intrude.

The woman checking me in

at the lodge told me I could

probably find you here,

I guess there was supposed to be

some kind of Christmas party

tonight.

Yeah. Supposed to be.

Anyway, sorry if

I got in the way of something.

Brad, what is this all about?

Carole is worried

about the concert.

She flew me out because she

wanted me to come talk to you

about doing the duet,

I think it could be really good

for both of our careers.

I didn't expect you to be caught

so off-guard.

Carole told me

she already mentioned the

possibility of a duet to you.

Yeah, she did pitch me the idea

and I turned her down.

I didn't realize that.

Yeah, well, like you said,

she's worried.

Well, for whatever it's worth,

I want you to know I was excited

by the idea

of doing a duet with you.

Well, maybe sometime

in the future we can

collaborate again on something,

but not for a while.

I don't want our fans

to get the wrong idea.

Makes sense.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Well, that's that.

I'll fly back to Nashville

as soon as this storm passes.

Okay.

Better get back to the lodge

and start packing the suitcase

I've barely begun unpacking.

Uh, is your ride still here?

Oh, yes.

I was telling you before.

Local guy with his own truck.

Not only fearless in a storm,

but maybe the nicest guy

I've ever met.

Yeah. That's Cedar Pines.

Ah, well, actually,

uh, my ride left.

sh**t, look at me offering a

ride home to another guy's date.

And if that wasn't already

a trip,

I'm being asked

by my ex-girlfriend.

Sounds like a good premise

for a song.

It does, doesn't it?

- You ready?

- After you.

Joy to the earth

the Savior reigns

Why do you insist

on mauling your presents

like some sort of feral coyote?

- What?

- Well, what do you got there?

Christmas ties!

- Thanks, Uncle Luke.

- You're welcome, bud.

That's the tenth time

she's called.

- I don't care.

- Honey...

Why don't you go

and try on one of those?

- But which one?

- Um...

- The gingerbread one.

- That's what I was thinking.

Uh, you know he doesn't know

how to tie a tie.

- He's gonna be in there forever.

- And that's the point.

We need to talk.

I'm gonna go make some coffee.

Would you like some?

Stop right there, mister.

There's nothing to say, grandma.

Oh, you bet there is.

Now, you've had a wall up

for some time now,

and I was just starting to see

that wall come down.

Don't push her away.

- Look, I know you like her...

- Hush!

I am tired of this pity party

that you've got goin' here.

Well, it's not a pity party.

I mean,

parties are supposed to be fun.

I heard that.

Let me ask you this, do you

think it was Chrissy's idea

to invite that man to town?

Well, I mean,

she did text me and say

that it was her manager's idea

to invite him.

And do you believe her?

That's not the point.

Well, then exactly

what is the point?

I started to think that things

might actually work out.

You know,

these past couple of days

it, it began to feel like

no time had passed at all.

It was almost as if

Nashville never happened.

Yeah, well, Brad walked in

and sobered me up real quick.

I felt like such a chump,

grandma.

How could I let myself forget

that Brad,

this concert, her career,

that's Chrissy's real life?

Not me.

- You don't know that.

- Yes, I do.

I do know it because all I am

to her is some old yearbook.

Sure, it's fun

to flip through the pages

and relive the simpler times.

But that's only exciting

for so long.

I mean, it's not as if

I expected Chrissy to just leave

Nashville and come

and settle down with me

here in Cedar Pines and...

Truth is, I didn't think

about how this would work out

because deep down...

I think I was afraid

of what the answer would be.

Well, you're right

about one thing.

You are a chump.

Right.

Now, Luke, you don't get

to make the rules.

All these years

you've held on to this grudge,

like, Chrissy leaving

to go and do

exactly what she was meant to do

was some kind of personal

affront to Luke Convington.

Well, it isn't. Now, I'm not

tryin' to tell you what to do.

What you decide

is your own business.

But if you choose to do

nothing at all,

then that's exactly what

you're gonna get in return.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

I love you, kid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I love you, too, grandma.

Thank you.

Wow, this blue is gorgeous.

This one.

- This one is perfect. Thank you.

- Okay.

- Busy morning.

- Hey.

- Are you excited for tonight?

- I will be, yeah.

I'm just distracted. I...

I just wish things with Luke

didn't turn out

the way that they did.

I know, if there's anything

I can do for you, let me know.

No, there's nothing

you can do for me,

but I may have done

a little something for you.

Huh?

Turn around.

Turn around.

Oh!

I mean... I...

Well, how did you...

Uh, I mean, I'm speechless.

Chrissy actually called Lois

and convinced her

to give me a couple of days off.

It-it helps when your boss is a

huge fan of your husband's boss.

I started to realize

just how fast the years go by.

Figured five Christmases away

from the one you love

was a streak

that needed breaking.

You're the best friend ever.

No. You are.

- It's so good to see you.

- It's so good to see you.

Mitchell, I was so afraid

you weren't gonna get in

'cause of that storm.

You and me both. It was crazy.

So what's it been like

being back home?

Um, bittersweet.

I mean, on one hand

it has been amazing.

I didn't know how much I miss

this place until I came home.

But, um, you know, just

there's so many more people

I wish I would've gotten to see.

Just wish I had

a little more time.

Well...

You okay, Chrissy?

Yeah. Sorry, I'm just gonna

take a second.

Okay.

I'll go get settled in the room.

- I'll see you in a bit.

- Okay.

I am so sorry. I did not mean

to ruin that moment.

I, uh, I guess, until now

I hadn't really processed

the fact

that I'm gonna have to leave

this place soon.

I mean, so much has happened,

I don't, I don't know,

it, it's, um, it's difficult

to put into words.

You don't have to. I know.

Look, we've been close

for a long time.

And I thought I knew everything

there was to know about you.

But when I saw the way

you looked at Luke,

I realized I was only getting

half the story.

But if I know anything

about you, I know

that you're not gonna let Luke

get the final word.

Oh, you are so right.

I have a crazy idea,

and if we hurry,

I think there's still enough

time that we can pull this off.

I like where this is going.

But before we go, there's

someone I need to talk to.

I-it's an ambush!

Everybody retreat!

Retreat! Retreat,

retreat, retreat!

Brandon.

Chrissy,

you made me lose my game.

Oh, I'm sorry, I just needed

to get a hold of you

and I didn't know

of any other way.

Why didn't you just call

the house?

- Oh.

- Or even my cell.

Wait, why does a ten-year-old

have a cell phone?

Every ten-year-old

has a cell phone.

Wow! That's a lot to unpack

right now.

Okay. So I need you to help me

do something.

Remember when I helped you

get the girl?

Yeah.

Well, now I need you

to help me get the boy.

Oh, get up. Get up.

- We gotta go right away.

- Is everything okay?

I found this note

on Brandon's door.

He snuck out

to go to Chrissy's concert.

- What? Okay, come on. Let's go.

- I'll drive.

Okay, okay.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Oh, that kid!

What are we doing here?

We need to get to the concert.

- And find Brandon.

- Brandon is fine.

Well, how would you know that?

Well, what's goin' on?

Grandma, please, what...

What are we doing here?

Uh...

Well, what are you,

what are you doing here?

You honored your end

of the deal.

I thought I better do the same.

But the concert?

I'm, I'm confused.

No. Just tweeted out

a change of venue.

I didn't see any reason

why we couldn't do a concert

and a Christmas party

at the same time.

Of course you did.

Look...

I'm really, really sorry

I walked out on you last night.

Thank you.

I also didn't hold up

my end of the bargain.

I never finished your song.

Luke, what you wrote

was beautiful.

And, and without even

knowing it...

you gave me the ending.

- I don't understand.

- You were my first kiss, Luke.

And I was yours.

The past is where we started.

We're making new memories now.

You're not just my past.

Luke, you are my past

and my present

and my whole future.

Oh, Chrissy...

I don't know what to say.

Say you'll get on stage

and play that song with me.

I'd love to.

Let's do this.

You ready?

Ready.

Hello, Cedar Pines!

It has been incredible to be

here with you this last week.

And, you know, sometimes in life

the gifts we receive

are the ones

we didn't even know we needed.

Aww...

Thank you for helping me

find my music again.

Are we ready to show 'em

how we do it back home?

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

I used to ride my bike

to Maple Street

You'd always be there

on the porch

Christmas morning

We used to run all day

on dirt or snow

Play hide and seek

when the lights got low

I didn't know that one day

I'd see you differently

One day

I'd just want you to be mine

Oh mine

Sweet sixteen Christmas

How could I forget the day?

Yeah

Sweet sixteen Christmas

Showing me how to love

with mistletoe above

Sweet sixteen Christmas...

That's my grandson up there!

I knew you were the one

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

All of this time

I spent away from you

After things ended

way too fast

Can we go back to memories

of Christmas past?

I just hope

they'll always last

That I still have time

To make you mine

Sweet sixteen Christmas

You did it, Chrissy.

How could I forget the day?

Yeah yeah

Sweet sixteen Christmas

Showing me how to love

with mistletoe up above

Sweet sixteen Christmas

I knew you were the one

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

Can we leave

the past behind?

Got me feeling

like summertime

In the middle

of the sunlight

Our future will be

something to remember

Give me a chance

and you will see

You've always belonged

with me

Ever since we were sixteen

I knew you were the one

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

I knew you were the one

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

How'd we do?

I thank you

for letting me know right now.

Yeah.

Say, um...

What would you think about me

coming to live in Nashville?

Uh, what about Brandon?

Are you kidding?

Kid would follow you anywhere.

He's more obsessed with you

than I am.

So tonight let's get warm

If you're in Nashville,

then that's where I wanna be.

Home is wherever you are,

Chrissy.

You and I now it feels like

Dang it, Luke.

Dang it what?

You always were the only boy

who could make me cry.

This year

Santa's been so good

Spending this Christmas

The gift of us is enough

All you and I need is love

Oh, I'm not through

with you yet.

- Oh-h*?
