- [Woman] This was my mother's,
your great-grandmother's.
- [Girl] She gave it to you?
- Yes, and I'm giving it to you.
- [Girl] Daddy didn't want it?
- Well, I don't think
he'd like it very much.
I never had a daughter,
so I want you to have it.
- I'm never taking it off.
- Oh, but I want you to.
To read it, to take its
words to your heart,
that true beauty is here.
- I'm gonna write to Josh and
tell him what you gave me.
- You'll see him soon
enough at Santaland.
Your mother's letting
me take you this year.
- I wanna write him.
I owe him a letter.
"Dear pen pal,
"I can't wait 'til I see
you at Santaland this year.
"It's the only place that really
"feels like Christmas,
besides Grammy's.
"I love the Santaland games,
"the Christmas
trees, the animals,
"and especially all
the Christmas treats.
"It always feels like magic.
"Mom says that Christmas
is not important,
"I think it is.
"Grammy gave me a
bracelet that's so pretty.
"I can't wait to show you.
"I hope it snows this year.
"Your pen pal forever, Belle."
- [Josh] "Dear pen pal,
"This is gonna be the
best Santaland ever,
"the moment you get here.
"I can't wait to see
your new bracelet.
"Poppy said that we
can be Joseph and
Mary for the nativity.
"Isn't that cool?
"I got chores. Gotta go.
"Your pen pal, Josh."

I'm so glad you came back
to Santaland this year.
- Me too.
- We're going to be the
best Joseph and Mary.
- I hope I'm pretty enough.
- You're the
prettiest girl I know.
Is that the bracelet
your grandma gave you?
- Yep.
It's got sayings on it.
- "Beautiful is what's on
the inside, made by God."
I like that.
It's true. All of it.
So, what do you want
to be when you grow up?
I'm going to own this farm,
like my father. Raise hogs.
[laughs]
- Really?
Aren't they really stinky?
- [Josh] No, they're
not that bad.
- You're just saying that.
- No, really.
So what do you want to be?
- My mother says I could
be a fashion model,
but I don't know.
Maybe I could be a farmer, too.
- A fashion model farmer?
[Belle laughs]
Sounds good to me.
- I'm not sure about
the pigs, though.
- I'll take you to
see 'em right now.
You'll see. They're great.
I could take your
picture with them.
- Fashion model farmer?
[Josh laughs]
- You're beautiful, Belle.
Give me another pose.
Great. Get up on the fence.
- [Belle] Is this good?
- Yeah, get up higher.
I'll sh**t you from down here.
[pigs snorting]
Do another pose.
[Belle screams]
[children laughing]
I'm so sorry, let
me help you up!
- This is all your fault.
I wanna go home.
- Please, Belle, it's just mud.
- I'm so sorry, Josh.
She wants to go home and
I can't change her mind.
You have a nice Christmas
and tell your father
goodbye for me.
- Please Belle, don't go.
We still have to be Joseph
and Mary in the nativity.
- I'm sorry.
I can't.
Not like this.
They laughed at me.
- [Josh] Bye, Belle.
Don't forget to write.
Pen pals forever.
Merry Christmas.
[soft music]
- Why'd you send Grammy home?
- Because.
She brought you home like this.
- I'm sorry. Josh wanted
me to see the pigs.
- What did I tell
you about farms?
- You were right.
It was horrible.
The pigs. The people
laughed at me.
- No one will be
laughing at you anymore.
- I don't wanna be a farmer.
- Good.
Give me your shirt.
Ugh.
Ugh.
- My bracelet.
It's gone. No!
I loved that bracelet.
Grammy gave it to me.
- I know which one it was.
Costume jewelry.
Don't worry about it, Belle.
One day, these wrists will
have diamonds on them.
Just you watch.
See how beautiful you are?
Your hair.
This face.
That smile.
- [Belle] I know what I'm
going to be when I grow up.
Beautiful, then
everyone will love me.

You get a raise.
Wait, hold that.
I'm just kidding.
Listen, Speaking of
swine, that onesie company
is starting a brand new
marketing campaign: pigs.
- No pigs, no pigs, no pigs.
No, please, please, no pigs.
I hate pigs.
- Belle, baby.
Pigs. That's your future.

- Hello?
- Hey, we've got a big problem.
- I'm sorry. Could
you say that again?
- Just let me talk to Belle.
- [Woman] You're so beautiful.
- It's Vinnie again, urgent.
- [Belle] Vinnie, this
better not be about pigs.
- Look, don't hang up.
Is there a jumbotron
anywhere near you?
Looks like Rico has been having
too much fun in the
sun without you.
Looks like the real
swine is your fiance.
I'm so sorry, Belle.
[people laughing]
- Hey Belle, why can't you
be enough for your fiance?
[laughing]
A real woman would
never get dumped.
- Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
- Belle.
Belle, can I have an autograph?
[people chattering]
- Thank you.
- Belle, is it true
that Rico dumped you?
- [Manager] Taxi.
- It's all on the jumbotron.
Have you heard
anything new, Belle?
How do you feel
about that Belle?
- Over here.
- Over here, come on Belle.

I love you, sweetheart.
Look at mommy, making memories.
- [Woman] Aww.
- When I grow up, I
wanna marry a farmer.
- You do?
And what kind of farmer
are you going to marry?
- Um, a farmer.
He's gonna make me
laugh just like you do.
- Hm, that's very sweet.
You make me smile
and laugh, too.
You know that, kiddo?
[phone ringing]
- [Woman] Where is that
smile of yours, little Belle?
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
- Did you find
anything else for me?
- Yes.
And no.
Look, what can I tell you?
They want you for the pig thing.
They think you're
great with animals.
- Gee, thanks. But listen,
I am not doing pigs.
That's final.
- All right, that's
fine. Whatever you want.
But I also have some good news
and it has nothing
to do with pigs.
- Your smoothie.
- Thank you.
I have just received
a firm offer
for you to become the
official spokesperson
for nature's beauty.
Adult diapers.
Great pay, and you're
perfect for the role.
- I'm sorry, what?
- What can I tell you,
baby? You're aging out.
- I thought you told me
that I wasn't aging out.
- I lied, because I love you.
Look, Belle, these
are good offers.
You should think about 'em.
I'm not getting any phone
calls and believe me,
I've been trying.
You know you're still
my favorite, right?
- I'm sorry, Vinnie. I gotta go.
[sighs]
[sniffling]
[knocking]
How is it that you know
exactly when I need you?
- I was hungry. Thought you'd
like to go out for dinner.
- I just got off
phone with Vinnie,
and he told me I am aging out.
I just got offered
an adult diaper job.
Adult diapers.
- Oh, yuck.
What are you gonna do?
- Adult diapers.
Am I really getting that old?
- Well, you're not 21 anymore.
- You're supposed to
help me feel better.
Who's gonna love me
when my beauty's gone?
- It's not about looks.
Beauty is what's on the inside.
I'm sorry. What did you say?
- Beauty is what's
on the inside.
- Yeah.
That was on a
bracelet that I lost.
- What bracelet?
You lost a bracelet
and you didn't tell me?
- No, I lost it when
I was 10 at Santaland.
My Grammy gave it to me and
it had inscriptions on it
that have a pathway to
true beauty and real love.
- It's got sayings on it.
- [Josh] "I am valuable.
"Magnificent masterpiece."
- Maybe it really
does have the answers.
- What answers?
Santaland? You're
not making sense.
Are you okay?
- No, I'm not.
I need to find that bracelet.
I'm going to Georgia.
- Georgia?
You realize this is crazy.
- Yes.
- You need to stay
here and focus
on your career in New York.
Going anywhere else
would be a mistake.
- I don't make mistakes.
[upbeat orchestral music]
You won't believe this, but
the airline lost my luggage.
It's a complete disaster.
Anyways, do you have
any better luck for me?
Santaland? Nope.
I mean, I couldn't
find anything online.
It's like Santaland
doesn't exist.
Are you sure you
didn't dream it?
- And if Josh, my pen pal
didn't stop writing me,
we would at least
have his last name
and then we could
search for that.
But my rideshare driver says
he thinks he knows where it is.
- You're trusting
a ride share driver
to drive you in the
country at night?
- Yeah.
It's Georgia. It's fine.
Isn't it?
- Yeah.
- I'll put my GPS on.
[soft orchestral music]
[knocking]
[laughing]
- [Rowdy] Hey Josh, hand
me a couple more red bows.
- [Josh] We got it.
Oh we're making
some good progress.
I just really hope that this
year isn't the last year.
- 87 years is a good run.
- I am grateful for all
the years we did have.
- Well I just don't understand,
why can't we keep
Santaland open?
- That's pretty simple Rowdy.
We just aint makin' enough money
to support the
farm and Santaland.
- Well it's not a done deal.
- Yeah.
- Just gotta have
a little faith.
- [Rowdy] Yeah, well, I do.
- I do too.
- Excuse me.
Sorry to interrupt.
- You look like a
Christmas tree ornament.
- Who me?
Actually, I'm looking
for Santaland.
- Well, you found it.
Hey, Rowdy's the name.
But Santaland doesn't
open 'til Saturday so uh,
you're gonna have to wait.
- Is there something
we can help you with?
- Maybe.
I lost something a
long time ago and I,
this might sound really weird,
but I wanted to look for it
to see if I could find it?
It's really important to me.
Did you not understand me?
- I know who you are.
You're that model.
Jubilee Cosmetics.
- Belle Winters.
- Yes. And you are?
- You don't look like a model.
You look regular.
Well, I like regular.
- [Rowdy] Regular's good.
- Nice to have you
here, Ms. Winters.
I hope you can find
what you're looking for.
- Thank you.
- But it's dark.
Do you have a place to stay?
- You know, I didn't
even think about lodging
or food or...
- Lucky for you, we have both.
So you don't have to worry.
- Thanks.
- [Josh] Follow me.
- Okay.
[soft music]
How'd the cold miss you?
It's snowing like
crazy in New York.
- [Josh] Yeah, it looks
like it's going to be
another short sleeve
Christmas for us.
So what did you lose?
Are you sure it was here?
- [Belle] Yeah, it was my
bracelet, and yes, I am sure.
- Bracelet?
How long ago?
- Wow, I remember this.
I was about 10 or so.
- 25 years.
- Josh.
Is that you?
- Yep.
- How could you do that?
You knew it was me
back there by the fire.
Why didn't you
tell me it was you?
- You didn't seem to know and,
with as famous as you
are, you've met thousands
of people since
and I didn't wanna
embarrass myself in
case you forgot me.
- Forgot you?
We were pen pals.
- Until we weren't.
Do you have any luggage?
- No, the airline lost it all.
- Well, I have guests.
The light doesn't work inside,
but you can use my flashlight.
[soft music]
- It's good to see
you too, Belle.
I'm so sorry I stopped
writing, Belle.
[sighs]
The least you could do,
Josh, is keep the place up.

My wife.
She passed away

- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, it's been
really hard on Adele
not having a mother.
- You know, she said something
about Santaland going away?
That's the second time I
heard that. What's going on?
- Well, what she means is that
if we don't raise 75,000, this
year will be the last year.
- Are people not coming?
- Well, fewer and fewer.
I guess they're just looking
for something more modern.
And that's just

Did you really come back here
after all this time to

Apparently so.

Josh should be over-

Oh!
I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't sneak

that she liked,
I just have to pay for it.
Excuse us.

Are you lookin' for a tree too?

But don't tell Josh.
It's a surprise.

Why would a tree in

he really doesn't like it
when we call him that.

Josh?

to mention that.

gotten around to it. [laughs]
Gran Poppy told me
you two had a history.
- Yeah, we were pen pals.
- Oh.
- And then for whatever
reason, he stopped writing
and he didn't answer
any more of my letters,
but that was over 20 years ago.
- Well, did you ask him
why he stopped writing?
- No.
- If you want to know, ask him.

- Oh.
Honey, thank you.
- Okay.
Being beautiful is about
more than just that, Adele.
- I know, I was just playing.
- [Josh] Okay.
- Poppy says you get to be
beautiful on TV and magazines.
- You know, I used to, a lot.
Not so much anymore.
But thank you Pastor Josh.
[Josh groans]
Mmm.
- Uh, yeah. I would
have told you.
- I'm sure you would.
- So did you find your bracelet?
[Belle laughs]
- Nice change of subject
and no, I didn't.
Do you know where your mother
kept the lost and found?
- I do, but I don't think that
you'll find anything there.
- Well I'd like to try.
I mean, and also maybe you could
help me out with some things.
Obviously I don't know
anything about you
and you know so much about me.
- Sure.
But we have a tree to finish.
- Okay. I'm ready.
You know, I haven't decorated
a Christmas tree since,
I think since I was last here.
- Oh, I find that sad.
- So do I.
- Then let's fix it.
[laughs]
- [Adele] Yay!
- Okay.
- All right.
And that's it. Okay.
- I hope that's the last of it.
- Okay.
- How do you do it?
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Hey, come with me.
- Oh.
Thanks.
- Welcome to the lost and found.
All my mom's stuff is here.
Gran Poppy and I haven't
gone through in it since,
well, since she passed.
- Wow.
- You're welcome to take a look.
- Thanks.
- Have fun.
[soft music]
- Josh?
Can I ask you something?
Why did you stop writing?
We were supposed to
be pen pals forever.
- It was you that
stopped writing.
I mean, do famous models
even have pen pals?
- Me?
It was your turn.
- No, it was your turn.
- No, it was your turn.
- It was a long time ago.
I don't mean to argue with you.
And if you want to
blame me, I understand.
It's getting late and I need
to pry Adele off that couch
and get her to bed.

- Yes, he is.
Get this: he is a widower, a

- Is he cute?
- Yeah, he is cute.
But I can't get a

Oh, I gotta go.

- Mm. Well, maybe I
can help you with that.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, you've been helping
me with all of this,
it's the least I can do.
- I wish I could help you more.
- Well, my eyes are
getting tired, too,
so I should probably
go to bed myself.

- Is that?
- Josh.
It's one of the charms

"I am valuable.
"Magnificent masterpiece.
"Beautiful body and soul

Honey, that's the

- Poppy said you
were going to help us
with chores and then Santaland.
- Yes.
I did.
- Yay.
- I didn't say
anything about chores.
- Oh, good morning.

We'll get started once
you finish eating.
- Oh no, I don't normally
eat or get up this early,
so not really hungry.
- Oh, okay.
Adele, why don't you
find something for
her to change into
and then we'll
get started with the chickens.
- Chickens?
- [Adele] Okay, Poppy.
- I'm sorry. You didn't say
anything about chickens.
- I think I remember somebody
telling me a long time ago that
they wanted to be a farmer.
- Note to self. Josh
remembers everything.

Ugh. I don't actually have

- No, you just pour
some slop in there.
- Okay.

- You ready to do this?
- Oh sure, yeah
right, everything.
I'm ready for anything.
What is this?
- Slop.
It's super squishy.
- Ugh, here, you just take it.
- What, you don't-

- Ugh, stop, Josh!
[Belle groans]
[laughing]
Ew, it's not the first

Well there is a lot

So how's it going with Belle?

- Yeah.
There's a spark between

Oh yeah, you still
have feelings for her.
- We don't have
anything in common.
- Well sounds to
me like you're just
looking for reasons
to keep her away.
- I have reasons.
All of 'em mine.
She's uh...
- Is there something
else going on?
- Yes.
And I have no idea what
I'm gonna do about it.
- Well, you know what?
You're a preacher.
You could pray about it.

You give us joy in

This farm has been in our

shared the Christmas season
with family, neighbors, friends,
and may you give
us many, many more.
Amen.

[Josh sighs]
- Josh.
I think it's time that I,
I pass on this lighter to you.
- Really?
- Yeah.
It's probably
something I should've
done a long time ago, but,
now it's yours to carry
on the family tradition
of ushering in the
spirit of Christmas.
[soft music]
- Thanks, Pop.
- I love you, son.
- I love you, too.
- Your mama loves you, too.

Oh my goodness.
- He is quite the man.
- Yeah, it seems like it.
- Mhm.
- I can't say I've been
the best judge of character
when it comes to men.
- Well our judge of
character is often
influenced by the
way we see ourselves.
Do you know why we light
the Christmas candle?
- Uh uh.
- It symbolizes the
light of our savior,
welcoming his presence
into our hearts,
no matter what we look like.
- Look like?
- Well people are
what's on the inside,
not what's on the outside.
- Why would you say that?
- Oh sweetheart,
because it's true.
And I think you need to hear it
and know it for yourself.
I'm gonna go see if I can
help them in the kitchen.
- Wow. That's really good.
- Thanks. I've been
drawing since I was three.
Poppy says I'm a national.
- You mean natural.
That means really good.
- Poppy says it's
a God given talent.
- Oh.
- Night, munchkin.
- Night Aunt Kathie.
[chuckling]
Will you make Christmas
cookies with me?
- I've never made a
Christmas cookie in my life,
so I don't know if
I'd be any good at it.
- Be right back,
gotta go tell mama.
[soft music]
Hi mama. I made a new friend.
She's going to help me
make Christmas cookies,
just like you used to.
I hope you don't mind.
Uh huh.
We're gonna make
Christmas cookies
and they're gonna be sugar
cookies and gingerbread cookies.
And we might make a
gingerbread house.
I love you, and I miss you.
Okay.
Goodbye.
- So, what do we do first?
- Eggs.
- Can I juggle 'em?
- No.
That's a lot.
- It is?
- That's way too much.
Hey.
[laughing]
Slower.
- Slow?
- Back.
- What did we do?
Hello, hello.
- Squish.
- Squish.
- Squish.
- Squish.
- You did good.
- Yes.
- Smooshing that out
- [Belle] I'm so good.
So he's got a face like what up?
- What up?
[laughing]
- That's terrible.
This nozzle's not working.
- It's called a tip.
- [Belle] Can I finger paint it?
- [Adele] Yeah, finger paint it.
- Boop, boop.
Boop.
- Hey!
[laughing]
- What other colors?
Oh, how about I do the rainbow?
Oh!
- Hey!
- Look at that, those are good.
Those are good looking cookies.
What is this?
- It's my favorite.
- It is?
You know, I've never read a
story to a little girl before.
Okay.
Beautiful Mabel.
She's cute.
- Mhm.
- Just like you.
"Mabel is a chick,
soon to be a pullet,
"a young female chicken.
"And in one year
she'll be a hen."
Bok-bok-bok-bok-bok.
[laughing]
"Mabel, my dear Mabel.
"Your beauty is not just
how you look on the outside,
"but by the things you do and
who you are on the inside.
"And above all these things,
"you are beautiful because
God made you special,
"unique, one of a kind, that
no one else can compare to.
"You, Mabel, are..."
- [Both] Beautiful.
- The end. [chuckles]
[soft music]
Well, I guess-
- Yeah big day tomorrow.
I spent a lot of time praying.
We need a miracle
to save Santaland.
- Well miracles do happen.
- They sure do.
You came back.
- Do you mean that?
- I never say
anything I don't mean.
- I owe you big apology.
- You do?
For what?
- The last box in the attic.
I found all the pen
pal letters you sent me
that I never got.
- You did?
But, that doesn't
make any sense.
- Sure it does.
My mother sent them back without
letting me know about them.
And I guess your mom didn't
want you to get hurt.
I can understand that.
- No, I don't.
Why would my mom do that?
- Because she loved you.
My mom loved me, too.
She was just trying
to protect me.
She had ideas about beauty
and love that I bought into.
- Life is nothing without
love and forgiveness.
Forgiveness truly lifts
all of that weight.
- Is that the pastor
in you speaking?
- That's the friend who cares
deeply about you speaking.
[laughs]
And a little pastor.
[Belle laughs]
[soft music]
- Thank you. For so much.
Well, I think-
- Yeah, well...
Goodnight, Belle.
- Goodnight pen pal, and
watch out for those miracles.
[Josh chuckles]
- Hello?
- Hi Vinnie.
- Belle!
- So tell me the truth.
How much goodwill do I
still have out there?
- It depends. What do you want?
- Favors.
- And what do I get in return?
- I'll do the adult diaper job.
[upbeat music]
- Fabulous. That's really great.
You're not gonna regret this.
- Actually I will regret it,
but it's for a good cause.
Vinnie, Vinnie.
Vinnie.
Will you sit down
and stop celebrating?
- Okay, I'm all yours. sh**t.
- Now for what I need.
Okay.
Okay. As soon as
you can make it.
Oh, I appreciate it so much.
Okay thanks, John.
- Wow. You're up
early this morning.
- Yes, I've been busy.
- Doing what?
- If I told you it wouldn't
be surprise. [chuckles]

- Like this?
I think I need to
clean up a little.
- No, like this is just fine.
- No, I really
need to go change-
- No.
Clothes only.

- Clothes only.

- Well, my career's only

and that's not good
enough anymore.
That's why I came here,
hoping that if I could
find that bracelet,
it would make me
beautiful again.
- But you are beautiful in
every way, inside and out.
You don't need a
bracelet for that.
Maybe...
Maybe the bracelet
was needed elsewhere.
Hey.
I want to show you something.

- Hold on.

Josh, it's snowing.
This is the best night ever.
- I agree with that.

So, what are your plans?
What's next for you?
- Oh, I have to go
back to Manhattan.
- Why?
- Well, it's where I
live and where I work.
Why?
Are you asking me to stay?
- I'm asking to see
where this goes.
- Well, I came here
looking for something
I haven't found yet.
- Well, maybe you found it
and you just don't know it.
- It's probably all
a dream anyways.
All of this.
Are you sure you want this?
You have a family, a daughter,
a church you're
responsible for, Santaland.
I mean, you have a
lot on your plate.
- And I'm also a man.
[soft music]
Alright, I'll come back.
I promise.

Oh.
[laughs]
Hi, Cass.
I just had the best
night of my life.
- Yeah, I know.
You're burning up the internet.
- [Belle] What? How?
- Social media
postings of all kinds
of photos and comments
of you saving Santaland.
I couldn't believe what I saw.
Up to your rear in mud,
Christmas gifts on your head,
dancing with the
very good looking man
getting celebrities there with
no publicity for yourself.
The media is all
over it tonight.
- Oh, you're kidding.
- Someone opened a
crowdfunding page for Santaland
and it's going crazy.
- That is fantastic.
- It's amazing.
Everyone loves you.
- No, I'm not doing this
so people will love me.
- Okay.
- Oh and that guy
I was dancing with?
That was Josh.
- The pen pal?
- Yes. The pen pal.
My mother sent back
all the letters.
The letters, oh, I haven't
even read the letters.
I'm gonna call you back. Bye.
What's that?
Aww.
A note for his wife.
"Mandy, I thought you can
use the message here."
Oh.
"I pray for your
healing every day.
"I love. Josh."
[melancholy music]
I don't believe this.
[melancholy music]
[knocking]
- Are you okay?
- No.
You lied to me.
I thought-
- I can explain.
It wasn't personal.
It's something I've
been struggling with.
Been praying about it.
- Everything except
for being straight
with the one person
you needed to.
You. Take this.
I'm taking my bracelet
and I am leaving tomorrow.
- You don't have to
go. I can explain.
Honest.
The bracelet is what
kept Mandy alive longer.
I found it years ago.
And when I never
heard from you...
Mandy got sick.
I thought giving it to her
would have been the
right thing to do.
- I'm glad that it helped
Mandy, I'm really glad.
But you broke my trust in you.
You knew it was there
this entire time.
All you had to do
was give it to me.
- [Josh] Then you would've left.
- Well I have it now
and I am leaving.
So it looks like you were right.
- Can't we just talk
about this some more?
It wasn't just about Mandy.
It was for Adele, too.
- Oh, wow.
You're bringing Adele into this?
I love her, but bringing her
into this, that's low, Josh.
Leave me alone and don't
talk to me until I go.
[melancholy music]
- Poppy, Belle's door is locked
and she won't
answer when I knock.
- Honey, you need to leave
Belle alone right now.
- Is she not coming to
church with us today?
- No.
Not today.
Come on, let's
finish getting ready.
[people chattering]
[phone rings]
- Hi Cass.
Yeah. Meet me at the
entrance in an hour.
I'll be there.
- Well, I hope you stay
for the nativity service.
After all, it is the
reason for the season.
[church members laugh]
I have a confession to make.
I deliberately misled
someone that I care about
in order to protect the
memory of another who's gone.
Not forgotten.
But gone.
[soft music]
- "I am generous.
"Joyful giver.
"True beauty is serving others.
"Make yourself attractive
by doing acts of love.
"Use whatever gift you've
received to serve others."
- To read it, to take
its words to your heart
that true beauty is here.
[soft music]
- Hi, this is Belle
winters again.
Can I uncancel my
cancellation for the deal?
I know, I was rash and
wrong to cancel it.
Forgive me, but I, I still
wanna buy it, if that's okay.
Thank you. That's good.
I'll meet you there as planned.
Okay, bye.
[soft music]
[knocking]
Josh, if it's you,
please just let me be.
- [Adele] It's Adele.
Belle, please, I need you.
[Belle gasps]
- Aren't you just so adorable?
If your father sent you...
- We don't have a
donkey for the nativity.
Could you do it please?
- Um...
- We had a no show.
- If you don't wanna
do it, it's okay.
I just wanted it to be
you. You're a real model.
- You don't waste
much time, do you?
I just read some good advice,
to use whatever gift you
have to serve others.
- My mommy used to say
that, from her bracelet.
- Let me get changed.
[Kathie laughs]
- Yeah. [grunts]
[sighs]
God sent the Angel Gabriel,
to tell a Virgin, Mary-
- That's our cue.
- "You're highly favored,
"and you'll give birth to a son,
"and you will call him Jesus."
Mary, betrothed to
Joseph, and with child,
went to his hometown
of Bethlehem,
but there was no
room at the inn.
So they found space
in a nearby manger.
- Beautiful isn't she?
- Oh, absolutely.
I just wish Belle
was here to see it.
- See it?
She's up there.
- What?
[Kathie laughs]
- [Gran Poppy] Gifts of
gold and frankincense.
- The donkey.
- Mhm.
- No way.
- She volunteered.
- On that night,
that silent night.

Can this wait? I need
to go see someone.
- I've got some papers for
you to sign, to make it legal.
She said it had to
be done right away.
- She? Who?
- Uh, the lady. Belle.
Belle Winters.
- What's this about?
- Belle, Belle, Belle.
Why do you have to leave?
- Honey, my time here is done.
I'm gonna miss you,
but I have to go.
- No, you have to stay.
- Honey, if it was
remotely possible, I would.
- She bought the
Christmas tree farm?
- And put it in your name
so that the income from it
could be used to save Santaland.
[Josh exhales sharply]
- I'm speechless.
- I want you to remember me.
- I'm gonna go get
Poppy. He'll stop you.
- Adele, no.
[tense music]
- I'm speechless.
I can't believe this.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Don't thank me.
It's a great deal.

Belle's leaving. You
have to get her back.

Read that.
Maybe it'll open your eyes

It doesn't excuse what

Shh.

Come on.

He doesn't have enough socks.
- Hurry, get your daddy.
I think I heard a robber
in your mama's room.
[upbeat music]
- A robber?
- You bet Mandy. I'll make
sure Adele gets the bracelet.
- Belle?
- Yes, Josh is wonderful.
Sometimes he's not
so smart, though.
[Gran Poppy laughs]
- Belle.
- Shh. Can't you see
I'm on the phone?
I promise I'll take very
good care of both of them.
Bye, Mandy.
You gonna help me out of
here or what? [chuckles]
- Come on.
[Adele chuckles]
[soft music]
- I owe Aunt Kathie
a huge thank you.
- [Belle] Oh yes.
- I did a lot of dumb things.
- Oh yes.
But Mandy made me
understand them.
You also did a lot
of good things, too.
- I meant everything I said
last time we were here.
- So did I.
- You are beautiful,
you know that?
The way you are with Adele.
The way you saved
the nativity scene
even though you were
furious with me.
The Christmas tree farm,
John Schneider, Beckah Shae?
You saved Santaland,
because you are beautiful.
