A Merry Single Christmas (2022)

[bunniefuu]

I'm okay

Now that I'm with you

Don't you go away

'Cause you're my wish

that just came true

Now door way

If you wanna kiss

under the door way

The only thing

left on my list

You're perfectly made

Just like the snowflakes

The snowflakes

Just like the snowflakes

Morgan

Oh no, did the

boards not come in?

No, no, they landed,

they look great.

But you'll never

guess what happened.

Wait, you guys have only been

dating for like six months.

Yeah, well, when

you know, you know.

I followed your lead and put Ken

on an email list

for a few jewelers.

Worked like a charm.

Wow, well, congrats,

I'm so happy for you two.

Listen, you have

been with Liam forever.

I'm sure it's really

a matter of time.

Wait, your anniversaries

this weekend, right?

Yeah.

Maybe we make you a nail

appointment just in case.

Okay, call the

salon, just in case.

In case.

Hey babe.

I'll be there in a minute.

We're celebrating.

I brought champagne.

Grab the nice

champagne glasses.

Why aren't you dressed?

What are you talking about?

What do you think?

Oh, I mean, yeah,

I finally found

the perfect house

for that couple, but.

Oh, sounds great.

But is there anything

else you wanna celebrate?

Liam, do you realize

what day it is?

Friday.

This is so typical of you,

always forget our anniversary.

Oh babe, is that today?

I'm so sorry.

Work's been crazy, but

maybe we can go out

for a special day tomorrow?

Is our relationship

that insignificant to you?

What are you talking about?

Our relationship is

very important to me.

Then why, after five years,

did you forget our anniversary?

Yes, if I was such

a priority to you,

then how could you forget?

I'm sorry, I've

just been focused on.

Everything, but us.

After all this time, I

thought we would grow closer,

but you still won't let me in.

Wait.

I've been getting all these ads

for engagement rings lately.

You didn't?

I did.

Why not?

I'm just not ready for that.

And you know how I

feel about marriage?

I know, but I've changed.

And I thought you would too.

You should know by now

if I'm the one or not.

Morgan, I love you, but.

I love you too,

but I can't stay in a

relationship anymore

where I feel like I'm

just temporary housing

until you find

your perfect home.

It's not fair to me.

I get it.

I should go.

You need some

time to yourself.

'Cause I'm concerned about

you with this breakup.

How can I enjoy Christmas,

when I'm heartbroken?

You don't need him or

any man to make you happy.

You are a strong,

independent woman.

You're right.

But I don't love him

because I need him.

I need him because I love him.

Makes sense?

We dated for five years.

I'm ready to move forward

with a commitment.

He should know by now,

if I'm the one or not.

And apparently I'm not.

I feel like I'm just as stand in

until his true love comes along.

I get it.

You just need to focus

on what you used to love

about the holidays.

Hopefully it will help

get your old self back.

Christmas used to

be so special to us.

Oh, it's gonna be tough

now that I'm all alone.

I know, I'm sorry, I

have to go to the in-laws.

Maybe you're lucky

you're not married.

But we will all have

our family together

for Christmas, at my place.

And there's nowhere else,

I'd rather be in the world.

Oh no.

I thought you got

rid of all of these.

All of these pictures.

I hate leaving you like this.

Can't you go somewhere, like

maybe a tropical island?

Stop worrying about me, I

want you to enjoy your trip,

well, as much as you can.

I'll be fine, I promise.

No more Liam.

And the

pitch, there's the hit.

Out to left field.

This one is way

out there and gone.

Over the left field fence.

Hey, I was watching that.

This has to stop.

The sofa has a

permanent imprint in it

'cause you've been

lying there so long.

Your boss is wondering if

you'll ever return to work.

And trust me, if

you lose your job,

I ain't covering your rent.

Yeah, well I'm not

really in the mood

for selling people

their dream home.

Look, it's Thursday night.

You need to get off your

butt and go out with me.

Come on, this is pathetic.

Tell me what you really think.

You need to get

back in a game.

I mean, pretty girls, you

and me, how it used to be,

breaking hearts.

We never did that.

We talked about it a lot.

Well, you won't know if you

still got it, unless you try.

Hey, can you pass me some

more like candy please?

You mean the ones

Morgan left here.

I need to get away.

How do you get over

your ex at Christmas?

Christmas Lonely Hearts Club.

"A singles only

program to detox

"from relationships

over the holidays."

"A safe place to regain

your love of the season,

"enjoying lots of

Christmas activities

"with a new set of

welcoming friends."

"Avoid the loneliness

of the holidays

"and bond with a group of

people in the same situation."

"Absolutely no

relationships allowed."

Perfect.

Now that's more like it.

You look a lot better.

Check this out.

Oh this is exactly

what you need.

Right.

You'll come back refreshed,

in a festive spirit

and more importantly,

single and ready to mingle.

Come on, man, hit that button.

Boom.

Here, let me help.

I am so sorry.

I didn't know you

were standing there.

My apologies, I shouldn't

have crept up on you like that.

Okay.

My goodness, are you

staying for a month?

I thought the B&B program

ended on Christmas.

I didn't know what to pack.

Are you staying here as well?

Indeed.

Let me get this.

Thank you.

I'll get your bag, how's that?

Very well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, I'm Morgan.

Harry.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Welcome.

Come on in.

- Hello.

- Hey.

- You must be Harry.

- Yes.

And you're Morgan, correct?

We spoke on the phone.

Oh so pleased you found us.

You two better not be a couple.

You know the rules.

No, no, we just met outside.

I'm only kidding,

of course you aren't.

It's a singles only program.

Well I'm Juliet and I'll

be taking care of you.

Please make this your home.

This is your safe space

for the next week.

Thank you, Juliet.

These are for you.

Morgan, you're in room three,

which is just up the

stairs to the right.

And take this time

to get settled in

and make yourself comfortable.

Then we'll be having

some welcome drinks

in the living room at four.

Sounds good, thank you.

Let me know

if you need anything.

- I will.

- Thank you.

Do you need any help?

Oh no, I can

take it from here.

Thank you.

Okay, Harry at six,

which is also up

upstairs to the right.

Just go past three, four.

Five, six.

Goodness, we're

thinking the same thing.

Oh no.

Oh, stupid thing.

Do you need some help?

- Oh.

- Sorry.

So sorry, I didn't hear

you come up the stairs.

My key is just not

working, I think.

I think you might

have the wrong room,

Juliet said I was

in number three.

I am so sorry,

you're so right.

Force of habit.

Oh totally fine.

I've been coming

here for four years

and Juliet has always put

me in room number three.

Oh, well I'm happy to

switch if you'd like.

No, no it'll be nice to

try something different.

Okay.

Nola.

Morgan, nice to meet you.

Yeah, I will see you later

at the welcome meeting.

I will see you later.

Cool.

Well, if I can't fall back

in love with Christmas here,

then I never will.

Come in.

Nola, I heard you had

got here a little early.

I wanted to make sure that you.

You're not Nola.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It seems I've still in our spot.

Nola's in room four,

if you wanna say hello.

I'll see her at the

reception later on.

I'm David.

Morgan.

Pleasure to meet you, Morgan.

So you've been

here before, too?

This will be my fifth year.

It's a great place to come to

get away from all the chaos

and meet new people

who feel like family.

That's exactly

what I'm looking for.

Well, it's a pleasure

to meet you, Morgan.

Likewise.

See you later.

Have a good one.

Room four, right.

Room four.

I am so pleased that

you chose my program

as your sanctuary

this Christmas.

Christmas time, it's not

always joyous for everyone.

One can feel lonely

or even jealous, seeing

others in relationships.

Here, you'll make new friends

and escape the pressures

of forced relationships.

And learn that this season

is and always should be

the happiest time of the year.

And you don't need a

partner to make you happy.

When I moved here from London,

I was completely alone,

but I made my family here

with all my wonderful guests.

In order to maintain the

integrity of the program,

my only rule is no dating.

You will learn that you

have to love yourself

before you can receive true

love from someone else.

You'll also learn to find the

joy of Christmas within here.

We are all in this together.

We are all in the same boat.

Or the same Christmas

sleigh, one might say.

So we have a full list

of activities planned.

I'll pass out the

activities later.

I'm sorry, I'm late.

Is this the Christmas

rehab thing?

Yes.

It's the Lonely

Hearts Christmas Club.

Right.

Come on in, we're

just getting started.

Liam, right?

- Yes, yes.

- Yes, yes.

Take a seat.

You know, I just

realized that my mom

has decided to come

home for the holidays.

So I think I should go.

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.

There's nothing to

be afraid of, okay.

We are all friends here.

Morgan, why don't you

make Liam feel at home?

Everybody say hello to Liam.

Liam.

I've been

coming for four years

and Juliet has always.

Christmas

sleigh, one might say.

I'll be back.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you with Emma?

She's with the in-laws.

And I thought I'd take

a little vacation.

What about work?

Aren't you crazy busy right now?

Oh no, I finished up

all my deadlines early.

I was super

productive this year.

And I thought this

place sounded fun.

I wanted to come check it out.

Not because the

heartbreak thing,

I didn't even know that

that's what goes on here.

At the Christmas Lonely

Hearts Club, really?

Well, what are you doing here?

Well, just a stupid

mix up, really.

Andy booked it for himself

and then he suddenly

had to go out of town.

Booking was non-refundable,

so I thought, why not?

Andy booked this?

Yeah.

Your roommate, Andy?

The same guy who goes up to

Christmas parties every night

with bundle of mistletoe,

to hit on as many girls

as possible, that Andy?

He's trying to

change his ways.

But decided he's not

ready to do so, clearly.

Here we go.

Your itineraries for the week.

Thank you.

Day by day, hour by hour.

No shortage of

Christmas fun here.

Oh it is a busy day tomorrow,

so you might want

to get to bed early.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So I should probably leave

since I'm assuming

I'm the last person

you wanna be around

during the holiday.

No, not a problem for me.

I'm fine.

But I understand if

you feel uncomfortable

and you need to leave.

No problem here.

And besides booking's

non-refundable.

Right.

So I'll see you tomorrow.

Right, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Oh Nola, did you

enjoy the introduction?

I know it by heart.

Right.

Why have you been here so often?

Well, when my husband

died, five years ago,

holidays were really painful

and I was really

lonely and depressed.

So I found this place

and it saved me.

It's the best place to

be during the holidays.

I am so sorry to hear

about your husband.

No, it's fine.

It's a lot better now.

This place has been

really good for me, so.

I feel really happy

when I'm here.

I honestly never thought

I'd feel that way again.

Well, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Deck the halls with

boughs of holly

Fa, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la, la

One of the most wonderful

things about the holidays,

is the decorating of one's tree.

Don't settle for a small

tree or even no tree,

just because you're

decorating for one.

Let the tree be an

expression for oneself.

Do you deserve a big,

be beautifully decorated

Christmas tree?

- Yes.

- Yes, of course.

You deserve the best.

And it will give you joy

every time you look at it.

Lionel, let me show you.

It looks like we

are stuck together.

Oh, oh no.

I'm not sure there's

more lights needed here.

I didn't even

decorate this year.

Ah, I know what you mean.

I didn't bother putting

up any decorations either.

If I wasn't for this retreat,

I would've missed the

season altogether.

Well, I want to learn more

about the magic of Christmas

to tap into the lucrative market

for my confectionary company.

You work in candy?

How sweet.

It's the first time

I've heard that line.

Yes, I'm the exec at

Chisel Chocolates.

It's a family business,

but I've been letting

the name down lately.

We're not hitting our

Christmas targets.

I'm single and a workaholic.

So I'm here to get

some Christmas spirit.

If I can understand

the magic of Christmas,

then I can help with the

marketing and sales of our candy.

There we go.

Well, that is very

practical of you.

Guilty.

I hope this place teaches you

more about the

magic of Christmas

than just how to make a profit.

I'm already feeling

a lot more in love

with the season.

So Liam, what's a

handsome guy like you

doing in a place like this.

Shouldn't you be at

a Christmas party

meeting beautiful women?

I'm not sure I'm ready

to jump back into the

dating scene just yet.

Oh, just got out of a

serious relationship, huh?

Fortunately I never

had that problem.

Never got anything

long term, you know.

Never been married, huh?

Nah.

Seemed like too

much trouble to me.

Besides I like

doing my own thing

and it doesn't involve

walking around all day

carrying bags, you know.

So what's your story?

I've always loved

Christmas so much.

And I get to live

it nearly every day

through my work

creating holiday ads.

But I just seem to have lost

my mojo, my Christmas spirit.

And I need to get it back

if I wanna save my job.

How ruthlessly

practical of you.

Guess we have

something in common.

Yeah, maybe we

can help each other.

All right, I'm gonna

try the other lights then.

Good, I will do that.

Bet you're not forced to watch

any silly Christmas

romance movies either.

Or explain why 18 holes of

golf every day never gets old.

Life of a bachelor

sounds pretty good.

Yeah.

I guess.

Why would anyone

want to get married?

Oh no.

Here, let me help.

Thank you so much.

So Harry, where'd you

say you come from again.

So yeah.

Decorating cookies is my

favorite activity at the resort.

Never have time to

be creative, so.

Yeah, it's very relaxing.

Yeah, you didn't seem

very relaxed yesterday.

What's going on

with you and Liam?

Liam?

I don't know what you mean.

I was just getting to know him.

Yeah.

What?

You just seem familiar.

He's really attractive.

Oh, you want me to

put in a good word,

he seems like if

be open to dating.

No, thank you.

That's against the

rules, first of all.

And I just, I really want

you to enjoy yourself

while you're here.

So if you want to

talk or need to talk,

you know where to find me.

There's honestly

nothing to talk about.

I'm staying well away from Liam.

He seems like a guy who

doesn't believe in commitment.

Just met, huh?

Well, whatever is going on,

I hope you can just

forget it and relax.

Yeah.

I'm hoping the change

of scenery does me good.

Are you sure

there's nothing wrong?

Yeah, I just lost

my Christmas spirit.

It's been a rough

couple of weeks.

Well, good news is you

came to the right place.

And I think it's gonna take

just a little bit longer

for you to get your

Christmas talents back.

Oh, rude.

Is it that bad?

It's a mess.

- It is that bad.

- It's a rough one.

Oh.

What happened to you, Morgan?

Getting in trouble again?

Oh, hey, I'm such a klutz.

I don't think you should

be carrying anything.

Well, I'll make

sure to call you over

next time and go

to pick up anything

so you can come

rushing to the rescue.

Did you make this?

Yes.

I think I subconsciously

dropped it

because it looks so awful.

I'm certain Juliet

will not be impressed.

Well, that's my

piece de resistance

that Juliet had David

and I working on.

Ah, French, fancy.

I think you said

something about dogs.

Almost.

Well, they're very good.

They look like snowflakes.

I'll find a broom to

clean this up proper.

Thank you, as a reward,

I'll get you some cocoa.

Sounds good.

Sorry, I didn't

know you were in here.

I can come back later.

No, it's fine.

I was just making

some hot chocolate.

I was about to do the same.

- Listen about yesterday.

- Look,

I wanted to talk to but.

Sorry, go ahead.

No, it's okay, you go.

Look, I know this is awkward.

We'd said we'd have no contact

and here we are unable

to avoid each other.

I think it's best if no one

knows about us, about our past.

We don't want to cause

any tension in the group.

Yeah, I was thinking

the same thing.

Good.

It doesn't help to move on,

if everyone keeps

asking us what happened.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

Cool.

Cool.

So truce, some hot

chocolate as a peace offering.

Oh actually I'm gonna

need two cups please.

Right.

Here you go.

Thanks, see you later.

Yep, see you.

Your cocoa, Sir.

Whoa, who told you, you

could carry hot drinks?

Beep, beep coming

through, stand back 50 feet.

Thank you.

Let's do a Christmas puzzle.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

And.

Oh no.

For my next mess.

Let me just get these for you.

The stew was delicious.

Yes, compliments to the chef.

Thanks, it's just

a family favorite.

Quite easy to make.

Now listen, you two,

this retreat is all

about getting out there,

making new friends.

So make sure you

mingle with everyone

and not just each other.

Absolutely love.

Morgan, I bet you didn't know,

Liam is also from Cleveland.

Perhaps you two have

some mutual friends?

I highly doubt it.

I mean, Cleveland's

such a big city.

Plus I overheard

him talking to David

and he seems like the type

that I typically try to avoid.

You know, I like

to surround myself

with people who are punctual,

not people who are

chronically late

and think the world

revolves around them

and they stop it and they're

like, "Hey, I'm here.

"Everyone come onto my clock

and do what I have to do."

And not people who

forget important dates.

Well just maybe just don't

judge a book by its cover.

You never know what

people are going through.

You're right, Juliet.

I will keep an open mind.

Would you like to join me

outside for some hot chocolate?

I'll have to

take a rain check.

I should settle into my room.

Gotta get ready for the next

activity Juliet throws our way.

Of course.

So we'll see each other again.

I think it's safe to say

we're gonna see each

other very soon.

Have a good night.

I don't believe it

out of all the places.

Do you think he's stalking you?

No, what?

No, of course not.

It's just life's

odd sense of humor.

I did everything I could

to try to escape him

and look where we ended up,

in the middle of nowhere

in this romantic B&B

under the same roof.

Romantic B&B?

I'm worried about you Morg.

Well, you shouldn't be,

there's actually this

charming guy here, Harry,

he's British.

Does he look

like prince Harry?

Yeah, he kinda does.

He's cute.

Must be awful.

He's nice to talk to,

but I'm definitely not looking

for a new relationship.

Plus I can't even think

about it because if I did

Juliette would kick me out.

Yeah, she sounds scary.

She's passionate.

She just doesn't want

this place disturbed

by any relationship drama.

Well, hello, what

could be more disruptive

than being stuck in

a B&B with your ex,

the love of your life.

Emma.

Sorry.

At least you thought he was.

Slip of the tongue.

I just think you should

think about leaving.

I can always come back early

and tell everyone

there was an emergency.

No, don't do that.

And it's only five more

days I can handle it.

Plus it's kind of therapeutic.

Sounds like messed up therapy.

You should see an

actual therapist.

Someone who make you

feel better, not worse.

Emma, I'm finding closure.

I heard Liam tell someone

that he never wants

to get married.

It's all so obvious now.

He doesn't even seem remotely

upset that we broke up.

I needed to see that.

It's over for good.

Now I can just

focus on moving on

and hopefully find my

excitement over Christmas again.

Okay, just please be careful.

I love you.

Sorry, I gotta go.

I love you too.

Come in.

Bonsoir.

I'm sorry to bother you, but

I wanted to give you this.

Okay.

All the guests

are going to write

a private letter to Santa,

expressing their

hopes for the holidays

and wishes for the new year.

It's an exercise to

help liberate you

and reconnect with

the soul of Christmas.

So just write

whatever's on your mind.

And then when you're done,

pop it in the letter

box for Santa,

in the hallway.

Thanks.

Tomorrow evening, we are

having a wonderful group dinner.

I have paired each of you up

to prepare part of the meal.

I've got you down, working

with Nola on the roast.

Is that okay?

That sounds great.

Wonderful.

Well, that's it.

Ah, sleep well Morgan.

Night.

Oh, good morning, David.

Did you sleep well?

Like a log.

Oh are you a yule log.

Oh, I see a letter

for Santa, please.

So Juliet, I

wanted to talk to you

about today's activities.

Yes.

I see you paired me with Harry

for the gingerbread cookies.

Is there a problem?

Yes, I am allergic

to gingerbread.

Allergic, since when?

You definitely didn't put that

on your dietary

requirements form.

It developed later in life.

I get such an awful

rash from a cookie.

Oh no, we can't have that.

We'll have to scrap the

gingerbread altogether.

No, no, you can serve the

gingerbread to everyone else.

I don't want anyone to miss out.

I just can't touch 'em.

I guess I'll just have

to sit this one out.

But I would like to contribute,

maybe I can help Nola and

Morgan with the roast.

You know, Nola and

I did it last year.

It was delicious.

I'll tell you what.

I'll see if Morgan

is happy to switch.

Oh, okay, and then she can

partner with Harry, great.

Wait, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no,

that is a terrible idea.

I can see potential

chemistry a brewing.

I'll switch things around,

put Morgan with Liam,

there is definitely no chance

many romance happening there.

- Right, right.

- Right.

The boss.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Come in.

It's only me.

What do you want?

I've been ordered

to work with you

on baking the

gingerbread cookies.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, there's been a

slight reshuffling of teams.

So just checking to see

if you're up for it.

Do you wanna take

it in turns or?

Liam, I've seen

you in the kitchen.

I'm not risking you

ruining the cookies.

Good point.

But yeah, I just don't wanna

make it difficult for you.

No, don't worry

about me, I'm fine.

But if you'd rather

just sit this one out,

I can make the cookies.

No, I'm totally good.

And besides I should help.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

It says two cups of flour.

Okay, pour me the first cup

and I'll slowly mix it in.

Okay.

So how's it going?

You mean here?

Good.

My room's very comfortable.

I meant in general, since we?

Since we broke up?

It's okay, you can say it.

I've been fine.

Busy, busy with work and stuff.

Good.

Glad to hear it.

You?

Yeah, same, same, good, busy,

busy watching a whole lot of TV.

Only TV?

I think I've watched

every movie ever made.

That's impressive.

Particularly fitting

in with work.

Truthfully, I've bombed

a bunch of pitches.

My job's hanging on by a thread.

That's not like you.

I know.

I've turned into a Baja Bug.

It's like my Christmas spirit

has gone on holiday

or something.

I'm sorry, you'll get it back.

It's a tough time of year

to pretend to be on top of

the world when you aren't.

Yeah.

That's exactly how I feel.

I just can't fake it.

Not that I'm struggling

personally or anything,

just burnt out.

Of course.

That's what I meant.

Okay.

I will grab a measuring

spoon for the ginger.

You put out some flour

so we can roll the dough.

Sound like a plan?

Sounds good to me.

I am so sorry.

You're a walking disaster

area in the kitchen.

You know that right?

Maybe.

Okay, just step

away from the flour.

Yep, stepping away.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, you missed the spot.

Thanks.

And you missed some here too.

There.

How are you two getting along?

- Great.

- Great, yeah.

I feel like the table is

still missing something.

You know what?

You're right.

I know.

Poinsettias.

You do have good taste.

I could say the

same thing about you.

It's an easy guess,

it's your favorite flower.

How do you know that?

You may have let it

slip once or twice,

a couple years back while

we were rapping gifts.

I can't believe

you remember that.

Should we place out

some name cards, maybe?

Great idea, I was

thinking Juliet at the head.

Oh yeah, I agree.

And I think we should

place Morgan to her right

and Liam to her left.

Those two need to be

opposite each other.

If I didn't know you better,

I'd say you were

up to something.

- What, me?

- Yes.

Never, no, maybe.

Anyway, we need to place Lionel

at the far end of

the table so that

he can check the score.

He can check the score,

yeah.

It is the hockey

quarter finals.

There's no way he's

getting through dinner

without checking the score.

Not a chance, no.

It's not happening.

Well ladies and gentlemen,

I think we must

say a big thank you

to all our wonderful chefs

who have outdone themselves.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, dessert is up next.

But before that I want

to open up the floor

so that each of you can

share with the group,

your favorite Christmas memory.

It could be something

from your childhood

or maybe even something

from this trip.

One of the things I love

most about Christmas

is all the nostalgia.

So who would like to go first?

Morgan, how about you?

It's hard to say.

It can be something small.

Well.

When I was young,

we didn't have much,

even though my parents

were always working.

One year, my sister and I

took up a ton of odd jobs

to save up enough

money to buy my parents

this painting of our family.

When they opened it, they were

so surprised and so happy.

The look on their

faces was priceless.

And they always said that it

felt like a Christmas miracle

to watch our excitement,

as we opened our

presents from Santa.

But I think that

was the first time

that I really felt

the joy of giving.

And, it's a moment that

I'll remember forever.

Oh, that's really lovely.

Thank you.

Yes, there's nothing quite like

seeing the joy a gift can bring.

Liam, how about you?

Well, that's easy.

In a previous relationship,

I was with someone who

adored the holidays.

Last year, she

wrote me a message

and put it in my

work bag every day,

for 12 days before Christmas.

They were either little

memories were shared together

or hopes for the future.

As soon as I read one,

I just couldn't wait

to open the next.

I always looked forward

to the next day.

She sounds very special.

That must be very

painful for you.

Not really.

It's a good reminder of how

to treat the person you love

and to cherish the moments

you share together.

If you take them for granted,

you might lose a chance to

tell them how you really feel

and they could be gone forever.

Hey guys, what I miss?

Oh, well, Liam was

just filling us in

on his favorite

Christmas memory.

And a beautiful one, it was too.

Mine has to be this place.

Every year, I look

forward to coming back

and seeing all your faces.

Juliet, why did you

start this retreat?

Oh, well that is, it's

a tale as old as time.

I moved to the states for love

and he left me, so I suddenly

found myself alone at Christmas,

hundreds of miles from home.

So I decided to create this,

a place where single

people can come

and enjoy the holidays together.

Doesn't have to be miserable

just because you're alone.

And if you found love again,

would you keep this place open?

I can't ever imagine

giving up this place.

But enough about me, I want

to hear about all of you.

Nola, would you like to

share with the group?

Oh, I have so many.

So, three years ago we

were building a snowman

and I didn't have a nose.

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing"

Yes, yes.

Okay.

Sit down, sit down.

I need to explain the rules.

Okay, so we've all

played this before.

Okay, you draw a Christmas

idea out of Santa's hat,

you perform it and your

partner tries to guess.

Sound good?

Yes.

Brilliant, let's

go, Harry, you're up?

All right, all right.

Two words, first word.

"Silent Night."

Yes.

Unbelievable.

Ready?

I'm ready.

- Are you here?

- I'm with you.

Let's do it.

Four words.

That's the smoke.

Blanket.

Sweater.

You?

Two syllable.

Time.

Oh very impressive you two.

Very impressive.

Okay, last contestants,

Liam and Morgan.

Don't suck.

It's gonna be hard.

How am I supposed to do this?

Keep your clue hidden.

Okay.

- Three words.

- Okay.

First word.

Oh, Christmas lights.

Putting up Christmas lights.

Hanging Christmas lights up.

Icicles.

Popsicles.

Frozen.

30 Seconds.

Okay, okay.

Second word sounds

like first word, okay.

Laughing, funny.

Santa, h*, h*, h*.

10 Seconds.

Why are you so,

so bad at this?

Why am I so bad at this?

Can't you see what I'm

trying to tell you?

No, because you're

not doing the job.

And time.

You know you're not supposed

to talk during your time.

Not a chance.

Holly Jolly Christmas.

Second word sounds

like first word.

You know, that's a bad clue.

I didn't even get

the first word.

Hey, guys, guys,

guys, come on.

There's no need to bicker.

It's just a game.

A game that Harry and I won.

Woo.

Okay, so the winner

for tonight's game

gets to choose the

secret Santa first.

What's so funny?

We were awful.

We were worse than awful.

Seeing as we don't

make such a great team.

Lionel, hey.

Me, okay.

You're not joining in?

Oh, Euchre, no.

You know how competitive I am?

Yes I do.

I'm trying to make

friends not enemies.

Makes sense.

They look so in love.

Are we still playing, are

we still playing the game?

I would like

it, it'd be great.

Still playing game?

Okay, I'll go, I'll go then.

I wonder when David's

gonna tell her how he feels.

Morgan.

That's really sweet,

but they're just friends.

He's a bachelor for life.

I don't think he's

ever gonna wanna change

the good set up he's got.

And are we still friends?

I'd like us to be.

Yeah, of course.

I'm happy that we can be

like this, after everything.

Yeah, me too.

You seemed to be

having loads of fun

playing cards

earlier, with David.

What are you trying

to say, Morgan?

I'm not prying.

I just have to wonder if maybe

there's something more

between the two of you.

Like, if the happiest time for

you each year is coming here,

maybe it isn't just

the lovely decor

and the military-like schedule

of Christmas activities.

You're not wrong.

And David and I are

really good friends.

He makes me happy.

And he makes me smile.

And those are things

that I honestly

didn't know would happen again.

So yeah, I enjoy his company.

But I don't lie

to myself about us

being more than what we are.

There's only a few more days

left until the stay is over.

You don't need to remind me.

I've tried to reach

out in the past.

And I just feel like he

wasn't very receptive.

But Liam, is that

your first love

or just the guy that

broke your heart?

Because I think it's the latter.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Well, I see pain in your eyes,

every time you look at him.

I'm always right

about these things.

My husband used to

find it very annoying.

So your secret is safe with me.

Liam used to find that

very annoying about me too.

You got me.

We dated for five years.

Everything was perfect.

Initially I was the

one who saw a marriage,

like a life sentence.

And he agreed.

But as my love for him grew,

I began to realize

that it's not hard

to commit to someone

for a lifetime,

if they're truly the one.

Unfortunately Liam

doesn't feel the same way.

And after all this time,

he should know whether

or not I'm his soul mate.

So we broke up and as

a cruel twist of fate,

look where we both ended up.

I'm sorry.

I know it's probably

really hard to see him.

Yeah, it's not been the

escape from heartbreak

that I planned.

Well, if it makes

you feel better,

I think he's also

struggling with it.

Every time you look see you,

it's these eyes that are

clearly still in love.

Yeah, there's

love for each other.

I'm sure of it.

Is that enough?

Well, true love, doesn't

come around every day.

You know, love is one of the

most precious things on earth

and every love story is unique.

So who knows?

- Wise words Nola.

- Thank you.

I hope you're

listening to yourself.

Do you want us both

to get kicked out?

I hope Juliet doesn't hear you.

Did you get a chance to buy

your secret Santa gift yet?

No, I will try

tomorrow morning.

How about you,

you have any luck?

Yeah, I got mine.

That must be a load off.

Yes it is.

Hey, this will make you laugh.

I was chatting

with Morgan earlier

and she said, how you and

Nola look like an item.

An item, really?

Funny right?

I think women try to read

too much into everything.

I let her know you were

an eternal bachelor.

Think she'll tell Nola?

I doubt it.

Why, would that bother you?

Wait, do you have

feelings for Nola?

I don't know what to do.

I've never felt like

this about anyone.

I mean, of course I want

to tell her of course,

but what if she is

not ready or worse,

what if she doesn't

feel the same?

Nah, nah, nah, nah,

I'd wait years if she would

take me as her husband.

Marriage?

But I thought.

What, that I would

choose to be a bachelor

for the rest of my life?

Why do you think I'm here,

to make ugly stockings with

you, growing old alone?

No.

I wasn't blessed to find

the one earlier in life.

I was happy waiting.

Because I knew true

love was worth it.

She's worth it.

And I would give up

the bachelor life

and dedicate every

day to loving her

if she would just

choose me.

So yeah, I have

feelings for Nola.

Hey, I was looking for you.

You have a minute?

What's up?

So I spoke to David

and you were right.

I should know by now

that you're always right.

I didn't see it.

David is in love with Nola

but he's terrified

of telling her.

And there's only three days left

before they have to

wait a whole other year

to see each other.

I don't know what

he's waiting for,

a light encouragement.

I know Nola feels the same.

I would hate for them to

leave and never find out.

Should we do something

to help in some way?

What could we do?

I'm not sure we

should interfere.

No, we probably shouldn't.

But we could set up an

opportunity for them.

I mean, it's nearly

impossible for them

to have any time romantically

with Juliet keeping such

a close eye on all of us.

But if she wants us to fall in

love with the holidays again,

what better way than

helping two people

find true love at Christmas?

Hey guys, we got some

fresh cookies in here.

Thanks, we'll be right there.

Also Juliet wants to remind us

for working on our

Secret Santa gifts.

Thanks.

Cool.

I think I have an idea.

What could be a

better Christmas gift

than a perfect first date?

It's a great idea, I would,

but my secret Santa isn't Nola.

Well mine is.

Swap?

Absolutely.

Okay, so Morgan and I will

organize it all tomorrow.

So as to not raise suspicion.

Thanks guys.

I'm so excited.

Okay, let's get back downstairs

before Juliet calls out

a search party for us.

Good call.

So, she believed you?

I told Juliet we were

going Secret Santa shopping,

which technically is not lie

because we are shopping

for Secret Santa.

Just not ours.

Right.

Right.

Okay, we need to be efficient.

You get everything on

the top half of the list

and I'll start from the bottom.

Yes, Ma'am.

Your idea of a horse

and carriage ride

around the park with a

picnic is quite romantic.

You must have been

disappointed with our dates.

No.

Not at all.

Remember the time we had

to cancel our cabin weekend

because of the snowstorm.

I was so upset.

Remember how you threw

down pillows on the floor

and put up sheets

and we camped indoors

next to the fireplace.

You didn't think it was crazy?

No, I mean, I

knew you're crazy.

Thanks.

But it was fun and romantic.

And it was nice to

have the comforts

of indoor plumbing and heat,

which I was very grateful for.

That was a great night.

I have a confession.

You do?

I'm actually happier here.

Obviously, it was a bit

of a shock at first,

but it's nice having you around.

Thanks.

I guess we get one

more Christmas together.

Hey Sam.

Hello.

This is gorgeous.

Oh, thanks.

We've got everything

they need in the basket.

And I've got a big

blanket for them as well.

If you could just

heat up the cocoa

before you schedule arrival,

that would be perfect.

Don't worry.

Everything will go

according to plan.

Thank you so much.

This is gonna be the best

first Christmas date ever.

Do you have any other bookings

before this evening's

big extravaganza?

No, we don't have

anything going.

Could you squeeze in

the last minute ride?

We sure could.

Thanks.

You want some too?

We probably shouldn't

tell David and Nola

that we tried it

out before them.

I hope she likes it.

Of course you will.

It's the best gift ever.

Even I would like this.

Oh really?

That's high praise

coming from the man

who is impossible to shop for.

I'm not impossible.

When I like something, I buy it.

'Cause you have no patience.

And then you leave me with

absolutely nothing to get you.

Why wait if I need

or like something?

Because each gift has a

special memory attached to it.

I don't need a

thing to remember

the special moments

we've shared together.

Morgan, I think you should know

that I lied to you earlier.

Andy didn't bail

the last minute.

The trip was always for me.

I thought it might

help me get over you.

I'm sorry, I'm

not laughing at you.

It's just the truth

is I came here

to try to get over you too.

And has it worked?

Okay guys, this is your stop.

And don't worry, I'll be

ready with everything.

Thank you so much.

And this Secret

Santa's for David.

Oh, David sends his apologies,

but he's not feeling too well.

So he won't be able to

join us this evening.

Oh, what a shame.

He seemed fine earlier.

We'll just leave it

for him for later.

Oh.

Oh.

This one's for you.

Thank you.

I can't believe it.

Thank you whoever you are.

This is such a special gift.

My dad used to read a

letter from this book

to my sister and me,

every night at bedtime

leading up to Christmas.

It truly means so much.

What a thoughtful gift.

Okay, who's next?

Nola.

Your turn.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas, my dear Nola.

Your gift waits for you outside.

From your secret admirer,

who has adored you for years,

please make an excuse to leave

and tell the group your

present is spa vouchers.

Well, we're all waiting.

What did you get?

Spa vouchers.

- Oh.

- Oh.

I guess I have two.

Oh lovely,

nice detox to look forward

to in the new year.

Yeah, I'm gonna step

outside really quickly.

It's just, I need some

air, it's a little hot.

I will be right back.

Lionel.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I actually should go

probably check on Nola

and make sure she's doing okay.

But you guys carry on.

Oh, all right.

Just carry on.

Okay.

Oh see, that's what

I'm talking about.

You guys know me so well.

Ah, yeah.

Thank you, thank you.

Next one.

Juliet.

Have you had a chance to try

some of Harry's chocolates yet?

I hear there's something else?

Oh.

Yes, did you know

we have over 70

different distinct chocolates?

I did not know that.

I brought a sample of them

as a token of appreciation

for your hospitality.

How thoughtful.

It's been a pleasure, love.

Have you tried dark chocolate

from the jungles of Guatemala?

I have not.

Oh, Guatemala.

Darling, you haven't

lived until you've had

our exotic cacao brownies.

These are some of my

personal favorites.

For you.

Thank you.

Very fancy.

Oh, hey sorry guys.

I have to take this

really important work call

but enjoy the chocolates.

Hi Nola.

Hi.

Yeah.

This might come

as a shock to you.

If I told you my feelings for

you were completely platonic,

I'd be lying.

Truth is,

I am so in love with you.

I love you from the

moment we first met.

And I'm not trying to

pressure you or anything

but by chance you feel for me,

the way that I feel for you,

then promise me you won't

come back here next year.

Instead, next Christmas,

we spend together.

And every other day.

That is the most romantic

thing I have ever seen.

I thought you never asked.

These are for you.

So yeah.

What?

Yeah.

How did you know?

I just knew.

And it was obvious.

Didn't you see the

way he looks at her?

Now they have each other.

Looks like we don't make

such a bad team after all.

You know what I

didn't you're right.

I regret not planning more

things like this from us,

when we were together.

You always did so much for me.

My surprise birthday party,

organizing our trip to Europe.

You were always so much

better at it than I was.

Well you were important to me

and I wanted you to feel that.

I did.

I'm sorry, I didn't

let you know.

I wish I could have given

you what you needed.

It was never

about the wedding.

It was about the commitment.

Morgan.

Liam.

Nola.

Darlings, where are you?

Come out, come out

wherever you are.

We should probably head back

and help cover for

David and Nola.

Let's do it.

It's just so nice

to see Nola and David

happy and together.

It's made this whole

trip worthwhile.

Is that the only reason?

What does that mean?

You haven't mentioned

Liam this entire time

and now I'm worried.

Why?

Because it's what

you're not saying.

You should be ranting and raving

about how awful your ex is

and how happy you

are that it's over.

But I know that look Morg,

you aren't falling in love

with him again are you?

What if I was too hard on him

about the whole marriage thing?

Was that really

enough to end it?

We were happy.

No, Morgan don't

do this to yourself.

It's been a long day.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Okay, well we'll

be home tomorrow,

and if you wanted to

leave a day earlier,

I would love to see you.

Thanks sis, night.

Night.

Mind if I join you?

Of course, sit.

It's so cozy.

As a child, my

father would make

a roaring fire every

night during the winter.

I miss it.

Sweet.

You seem so much more

relaxed than before.

I am.

This place is

definitely working.

Getting your

holiday spirit back.

I think so.

It's definitely better

than I initially expected.

What are you drinking?

Oh, there's fresh Mulled

Wine in the kitchen.

Oh, I'm gonna grab

a cup, do you need.

No sit, let me.

Such a gentleman.

Of course.

Hey.

Hey, how's it going?

Good.

Heard from David that

there's fresh batch

of Mulled Wine in the kitchen.

All yours.

Are you enjoying it?

Your stay, I mean.

Oh.

Yeah, it's getting

better every day.

Morgan's amazing, isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

You two seem to get on well.

She's hard not to like.

Tell me about it.

But you two aren't, you aren't?

Aren't what?

Oh, you mean a thing?

No, no.

No, no.

No, we're just getting to know

each other, like we all are.

I'm getting to know

everyone in the group.

Funny, Morgan told me she

has nothing in common with you,

but I could have sworn there

was something between you two.

I thought I was gonna have

to report you to Juliet.

No, no, no.

No, I came to a singles

retreat for a reason

to escape all that

relationship drama.

That's good to know.

Enjoy your Mulled Wine.

You as well.

What's so entertaining?

Oh it's just one of the

letters for my Christmas book.

I can read the same one over

and over again and sill laugh.

They're so funny.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

Hey, I actually wanted to

speak to you about something.

Oh?

Last night got me thinking.

Are you still

searching for ideas

to expand your business

into the holiday market?

Well, I've been

having so much fun here

that I haven't been thinking

about work, which is great.

But tomorrow I'm leaving

without having

accomplished my goal.

So yes, very much so.

Oh, why do you have something?

Maybe.

If you don't mind me saying

your chocolate advent calendars,

don't stand out from the others.

What if the chocolate

enclosures doubled

as a placeholder for notes,

which the buyer wrote every day,

each note being

something they love

and that they're grateful for.

And then when the

chocolates are all gone,

they'll have 25 special

moments to read in one go.

It's beautiful for families,

but it's also perfect

for single people.

We'll get 25 sweet messages

to read on Christmas day.

The ad campaign

will tell consumers

that your company cares about

more than just selling candy.

You care about creating magic

memories during the holidays.

What do you think?

Wow.

That's amazing.

You like it?

No, I love it.

It's gonna be a big

success, I just know it.

Thank you so much.

You're incredible,

you know that.

I am so pleased

that you like it.

I'm gonna go draft

up some mock slogans

for you to take a look at.

Great.

Okay, sounds good.

Hey, I was looking for you.

You were?

Yeah.

I wanted to thank you

for the Christmas gift.

I knew it was from you.

You did?

Of course.

Don't you remember

our first date?

You're the only one

who would've known

those stories

about my childhood.

I bought it as one of your

Christmas gifts this year,

but when we broke up, I

just couldn't throw it away.

I was hoping there'd be

some way to give it to you.

Well, I guess this

trip brought us together

for some reason.

Including helping you with

whatever you're doing.

I've been assigned by Juliet

to make Christmas crackers

and to fill 'em with corny

jokes for tonight's dinner.

Well, I know you

won't have any trouble

with the corny jokes.

h*, h*, h*.

But if you need a

hand making these.

Yeah, I think I will actually.

I'll take you up on that.

All right, pass me a card.

Okay, here we go.

And funny joke, you're all set.

Will you pass me the cover.

Yeah, here you go.

Trying.

Yeah.

Joked.

Okay.

- All right, well.

- All right.

That should be done, yeah.

All right,

that should about do it.

Mission accomplished.

We should definitely do

this again next year.

Yeah, we should.

Yeah, you'd want to?

You think you wanna

see me outside of here?

Yes, yes I would.

Okay, shall we?

We shall.

One, two, three.

You win this round.

- Ah.

- Ooh.

Ooh.

Who knew there'd be a crown.

Oh, okay, this is one

of the ones I wrote.

Okay.

Are you ready?

Oh, yeah, born ready?

It's really funny.

I'll be the judge of that.

Where does Santa go to relax

after he delivers

all the presents?

I don't know, an iceberg.

No, I give up.

A h*, h*, hotel.

That's not even a joke.

Mine are way better.

Well, we'll have

to wait and see.

Oh, I'm confident.

Here, you've won this.

I'll open this delicately

since you ripped so

many in the process.

Why,

why thank you.

Oh wow.

Oh.

How do I look?

So regal.

So beautiful.

Oh, hi guys.

Hi.

Oh, those crackers

are looking cracking.

Yes they are.

Do you think there's enough?

I think there are plenty.

Lovely.

Morgan, I was hoping

we could speak

privately for a moment.

Is everything okay?

It's a delicate matter.

Liam, would you mind?

Not a problem.

You're in trouble.

Please.

I have never been in

this position before.

I made it crystal

clear at the beginning

that this program

is only for singles

and I would not tolerate dating

because it would

completely undermine

the purpose of the program.

With this in mind,

and whilst it has been

a pleasure hosting you,

you have given me no option,

but to ask you to kindly pack

up your things and leave.

Leave?

Yes.

What's happened to everybody?

Cookies, I think I left

my cookies in the room.

Go grab the cookies.

The retreat is a sanctuary

for lonely people

to come together

and not feel the pressure

of relationships.

It's a safe space

where they don't have

loved-up couples

thrust in their faces.

We are not a sleazy

pickup joint.

We are here to value the

true meaning of Christmas

without depending on

someone else to enjoy it.

You have violated these rules.

Juliet, I am so sorry,

I didn't tell you earlier.

I didn't know that he

was going to be here.

I tried not to have

feelings for him,

but just seeing him here,

it was was hard.

David and Nola,

I have come to know you both

as family over the years.

How did I not see

this happening?

Five years.

You've looked after us

both for five years,

made us feel welcome.

It's been a joy celebrating

the holidays with you.

But we found love.

And yes, we broke your rules.

And it was worth it.

Thank you, Juliet.

You brought us together.

Yes, well you

shouldn't have done it.

But if you have found true love,

then of course I

am happy for you.

Thank you.

But I still

need you both to go.

Thank you, Juliet.

Take care.

Juliet, I've really

enjoyed my time here.

But I think it's evident

that Morgan and I

have a chance at something

more than friendship.

What?

No, we're just friends.

We're just friends.

It's fine, darling, she

understands, she knows.

I think it's

best that you leave

before the group

come down to dinner.

Understood.

Juliet, I never did anything

or felt anything for Harry.

I promise.

Well, it didn't

look like that to me.

No, you got it all wrong.

I actually had a

relationship here with,

but we're just friends

so we really haven't

broken any of your rules.

Hold on.

Is there someone else here

that I need to ask to leave?

No, no, of course

not, nevermind.

Thanks for everything, Juliet.

And Merry Christmas.

Liam?

Hey, I thought we should talk,

work out where we go from here.

Oh right.

Oh Harry, you didn't think

that there was something

between the two of us, did you?

Isn't there?

Morgan, I would like to

take you up to dinner

now that the rules

don't apply to us.

I'm sorry if I gave

you the wrong impression.

I really enjoy your company,

but I have feelings

for someone else.

Liam?

What makes you say that?

I was hoping it

wasn't the case,

but I've had the feeling

that there was something

between the two of you.

He's a lucky guy.

Liam is my ex.

We broke up a few weeks ago.

But I'm just not sure if things

are really over

between the two of us.

Please don't tell Juliet,

I don't want him to

be forced to leave.

Well, okay, but

Morgan, just be careful.

I spoke with him earlier

and he was very clear,

he was looking to escape

relationship drama.

Really?

Yes.

His words.

You are amazing.

I would hate to

see you get hurt.

Thank you.

I hope I didn't

hurt your feelings.

No, it's fine.

I'm okay.

Hey Harry, before you go,

I know it's none of my business,

but I see the way

Juliet looks at you.

And I think you two would

make a great couple.

Juliet?

You're kidding, she'd

never be interested.

I can tell she's smitten.

She runs a singles retreat.

Well, she's looking for

love, just like everyone else.

She's just afraid

to get hurt again.

I guess I thought I'd

never stand a chance.

Trust me, I'm usually

right about these things.

Merry Christmas, Harry.

Merry Christmas.

Liam.

Liam, are you there?

Leave a message.

Emma, I need to come over now.

I had to leave early, but

I'll explain when I get there.

Liam, there you are.

Dinner's almost ready, so

we'll be sitting down soon.

Okay great.

I'll just freshen up

and be down shortly.

Is Morgan upstairs?

Actually, Morgan's

already checked out.

She's left?

Look, I didn't want the news

to affect the other guests,

but unfortunately

four of our friends

will not be joining us.

David and Nola are

in a relationship,

so they're gonna spend

Christmas together.

And Morgan and Harry

are also secretly

romantically involved.

It's very disappointing.

There must be some mistake.

They aren't a couple.

Well, when I

confronted her about it,

she said, and I quote, I

didn't want to have feelings,

but seeing him here, I

couldn't help not to.

But don't worry,

we won't let this

spoil our Christmas fun.

Tonight, we're gonna do

some more Christmas games

and then sing some

Christmas carols.

I'm sorry, but I

won't be joining.

Why not?

I think my time

here is over too.

I need to head back home

and spend Christmas

with my roommate.

I'll go get my things.

Oh no, no, Liam, please.

Sorry, Juliet.

Dear Santa, this season

has been nothing I could

have ever imagined.

I was running away from

life, love and Christmas.

Fate showed me that I have

to face hardships front on.

You have to get back out there

and take a chance on love again,

that realization reignited

my Christmas spirit.

The holiday season reminds

us of our happiest memories

and brings us hope for

an ever better future.

Who would've thought that

what I really needed this year

was to be trapped in this

heartbreak, B&B with my ex Liam.

Juliet created this retreat

so that singles wouldn't

feel alone during Christmas.

And because of this two

wonderful people found true love.

I pray you'll help Juliet

reopen her heart to romance.

As she's been using this

place as her crutch.

Please help her to

believe and love again.

Morgan.

Special delivery for Morgan.

It's from Harry.

"Thank you, Morgan, for your

kind words of encouragement.

"Juliet and I had

the most amazing date

"and we're spending

Christmas together.

"I can't wait to start on

the marketing campaign.

"See you soon, Harry."

That was so sweet of him.

Yeah, so thoughtful.

Although I know it's not

from who you were

hoping you would be.

Come on, let's go open

some more of your presents.

You've been deliberately

avoiding this.

Why?

Because I know

it's from Morgan.

David, let it slip, he had

my name before they swapped.

And I'm not really sure

if I need another reminder

of my ex right now.

Dude, just get over yourself.

It's probably just on socks.

Open it.

Come on.

Thank

you for keeping our secret.

When you first showed up.

Well don't leave me hanging.

What do they say?

All right.

This one says,

"Thank you for

inspiring an ad campaign

"for Harry's business.

"I always thought you found

these handwritten notes lame.

"I didn't realize how

much they meant to you.

"Showing me how much the

little things mattered,

"inspired me and me

have saved my career."

Now that sounds

like she loves you.

I've saved the last note

as the most important

message of all.

I never stopped loving you.

And I never will.

Wherever life takes you,

I hope it's filled with

love and happiness.

Merry Christmas, Liam.

Well.

What are you gonna do?

I'm a mess without her.

I can definitely

vouch for that.

Look, you're your best

self when you're with her.

You'd be a fool to let her go.

You're right.

You're right.

Guys Santa's here.

What Santa?

Well, there's a

sleigh, but no reindeer.

I think she just had a bit

too much hot chocolate today.

I think you should

go look outside.

Coming.

Let's go.

Liam.

What are you doing here?

I had to see you.

You left without saying goodbye

and I thought you

left with Harry.

Harry, no Juliet

got it all wrong.

I know.

I went to look for you,

but you weren't there.

I had a good reason.

Morgan, I love you.

I fell in love with you

the moment I first saw you.

You were the best thing

that ever happened to me,

but I let my insecurities

get the best of me.

I'm sorry for that.

I left yesterday

because I had to go

on a very important

shopping trip.

Morgan, will you make me the

happiest man in the world?

Yes, of course.

Too many things,

I've sacrificed

Been chasing dreams

my whole life

Feeling you with

me when I'm gone

Been around the

world and back

From Tokyo to Halifax

But I've always found

my way back home

I know I missed

a lot of holidays

But this time I'm

coming home to stay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend

Christmas without you

It's a price I wouldn't pay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend

Christmas without you

Like a carol without a choir

Like yule tied log

without the fire

It's just no point

without you here

Like a tree

without the lights

All alone on this holy night

I promise I won't let

you down this year

I know miss the lot holidays

But this time I'm

coming home to stay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend

Christmas without you

It's a price I wouldn't pay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend

Christmas without you

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Christmas without you

It's a price I wouldn't pay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend

Christmas without you

Christmas without you

It's the price

I wouldn't pay

I don't wanna spend

I don't wanna spend
