Five More Minutes: Moments Like These (2022)

Post by bunniefuu »

How does Santa eat

all the cookies

that kids leave out for him?

Magic!

I don't think he'd mind

if we helped him

a little bit, though.

Hey!

It's time for bed, Adam.

But we need to put

the carrots out

for the reindeer.

That's right.

Carrots are packed

with Vitamin A,

and you need that

for good vision.

Well, then you'd better

get them these STAT!

- Oh, ho, ho...

- Thanks, Mom!

You know,

Santa might miss our house

if you don't get to bed soon.

Five more minutes?

Yeah, five more minutes?

All right,

but only if I can get

an Adam sandwich.

Deal.

Come here!

Ooh, tighter, tighter, tighter,

tighter, tighter!

Can we ride on the trolley

again tomorrow?

Absolutely.

And we're going caroling.

With hot chocolate?

I think hot chocolate

while caroling is a must.

Yeah, it keeps

the vocal cords relaxed.

Oh, yeah, I've read that.

Marshmallows

help with that, too.

We love you, bud.

Sleep well.

Night, buddy.

Love you, Adam.

Love you, too.

Ah...

Are you okay, Brian?

Yeah, just a headache.

I'll be fine.

What do you think?

I think it's the best bike

in the whole world.

Right?

Yeah.

Now...

it's time

for our annual celebration.

The fire's glowing...

I thought you forgot.

Forget our first

Christmas together? Me?

Never!

We got snowed in...

Yeah, but I kept you warm.

And I knew

I never wanted to spend

another Christmas without you.

And every Christmas since,

it's been you, me,

and chestnuts roasting on...

The bell!

The bell?

I forgot the bell

for Adam's bike.

Uh, there's a store

just down the street.

Oh, no, you don't

have to do that.

We can just get it

after Christmas.

No, the bell's the most

important part of the bike.

More important than the wheels?

Equally as important, yeah.

When I was his age,

I had a green bike,

and the bell was

the best part of the bike.

I told Adam all about it.

His face just lit up.

You should have

seen him, Kaitlyn.

Seems like a clever way

to get out of

helping me clean up.

It'll only take me five minutes,

and then, I promise you,

I will be back

to finish our dance.

Have I mentioned

how much I love you?

Get outta here.

- All right.

- Go!

Magic is falling

straight from the sky

Covering everything

glistening white

Jack Frost has finally

come out to say hi

With his snow

on Christmas morning

There we go.

Great!

Oh, that's great.

Whoo-hoo!

Fabulous.

I can't believe

the client called us back

for last-minute re-sh**t.

Who does that

three weeks before Christmas?

It's okay.

I'll have the proofs to you

by the end of the day tomorrow.

Kaitlyn, you're the best.

Thank you.

Jenny, I haven't been excited

about a project like this

in years.

Thank you for inviting me

to be a part of it.

Come in-house.

Let us hire you full-time.

I love you, my boss loves you,

the clients love you...

Any chance you'd move

the company to L.A.?

No, London is calling.

I wish I could.

What is keeping you in L.A.?

A man perhaps?

Yes.

My son.

He's already had his life

uprooted once.

But uprooting can be good?

We have amazing schools

in London,

and you could travel

around Europe together,

and your son could learn

proper football,

not the American kind.

I mean, I have to be honest,

it sounds amazing.

So you'll think about it

this time?

I promise I will.

All right, let's get a line-up.

One more time.

Here we go...

Miss Morrison?

Yeah?

Oh, hi, Miss Polly.

I wanted to see

if we could pick a time

to set up

a parent-teacher conference

after the break.

Is everything okay?

We all adore Adam.

We just want to talk about

his social and emotional goals.

What does that mean?

Adam's not entirely

comfortable participating

in class discussions

or group projects.

He's a little shy.

He is, but I'm worried

it's extending

outside the classroom.

At recess, he'd rather be alone,

or skip it altogether.

And you're concerned?

We just take a holistic

approach to education,

and sometimes, when faced

with the loss of a parent,

children can turn inward.

Well, I appreciate you

bringing this up with me.

Yes, let's...

Let's definitely meet.

Great.

I'll email you some dates,

and please try not to worry.

It's just a meeting.

Thank you.

Have a nice holiday.

You, too.

Thank you.

Hey, what do you want

for dinner tonight?

Anything is fine.

Well, I was thinking about

making spaghetti?

Okay.

Hey, Adam, is everything

okay at school?

Yeah.

Hey, if you ever wanna talk

about anything at all,

I'm here.

Okay.

I think I'm gonna go

start dinner.

Cool.

Cool.

Hey, bud, let's put that away

and wash up, please.

Aw...

Hey there.

How's my favorite sister-in-law?

I'm fabulous.

Colorado

is the perfect combination

of cold and festive.

That sounds lovely.

You okay?

Not really.

What's going on?

Adam's teacher says that

he's struggling in school.

He's having trouble connecting

with other kids.

She thinks it might be

everything related to Brian.

Oh, you two are really close.

I'm sure if he was struggling,

he would tell you about it.

Yeah, I thought he would,

but now I don't know.

You know what?

Maybe you two need to re-connect

with a holiday trip?

Maddy...

I'm serious.

Have you given any more thought

to spending Christmas here?

Your parents are in New York

with your brother.

You and Adam should be

surrounded by family

and more Christmas cheer

than you can poke

a peppermint stick at.

I don't know...

There is something else.

Okay...?

Your tenants gave notice.

John and I were gonna look

for new renters,

but then we were contacted

by JCM Developers.

They want to make an offer

on the house.

It's not for sale.

You know what?

Just come, get it appraised,

and then see how you feel.

You're just trying

to lure me back to Colorado.

I am.

You know,

I haven't even told you

about the new praline toffee

at the candy shop

with the little flakes of salt

on top.

Okay, that's not fair.

You know toffee

is my love language.

I think I deserve all the candy

for this manual labor.

Is that John?

Would you tell him I said hello?

You say hi for yourself.

I'm serious.

You should be here.

Get closure on the house,

and hugs.

You're meant to be here

this Christmas, I can feel it.

They visit us every summer.

Besides,

we always volunteer

at the soup kitchen

for Christmas.

Well, maybe we can find

some place in Colorado

to volunteer.

That'd be fun.

Hey, you know,

you never told me what you want

for Christmas this year.

I don't need anything.

Nothing?

You want nothing for Christmas?

Maybe we'll talk about it later.

I love you.

Love you, too, Mom.

Sleep well.

You would know what to do.

You always knew what he needed.

I wish...

I wish he could just have

five more minutes with you.

Adam!

You are so big!

Hi, Grandma.

Aw, we've missed you, kiddo.

Are you ready to talk

Yule Fest activities?

After lunch, Grandpa.

He has been planning

all morning.

I'll get the bags.

Thank you!

Do you wanna come inside

for something to eat?

Sure.

Oh... hi.

Oh, I'm so glad you and Adam

are here for Christmas.

How's he doing?

He's been a little bit

withdrawn lately.

I hope being here

isn't too much.

Well, we are all together now,

and it's going to be wonderful.

You'll see,

and I even baked

his favorite cookies.

The ones with

the chopped-up candy canes?

Yes!

- I love those!

- I know!

How long does it take

to plan one day?

Planning the Yule Fest

activities is a big deal.

Yeah, and you can't do it

all in one day,

so tough decisions

need to be made.

Yes.

Gingerbread houses

versus a cookie

decorating contest.

It's lots of agonizing choices.

Very funny.

How's the world

of commercial photography?

It's a little spotty,

but I'm actually working

for this one agency,

and they're talking about

bringing me on full-time.

That's exciting.

It is.

We'll see what happens.

Hey, did you wanna stop by

the house today?

If you did,

Maddy and I would

be happy to go with you.

No pressure.

Um...

Yeah.

Yeah, I think

we probably should.

It'd probably be easier

to go now

rather than closer to Christmas.

I'm gonna go, uh,

just check on Adam.

I'll ask him if he wants

to visit the house.

Okay...

Here.

This was your dad's.

He said it was a Christmas star

to guide him home.

I like it.

Go for it.

This brings back

a lot of memories.

They took such good care of it.

Yeah.

Yeah, the renters

were really good people.

I forgot how cozy it is,

you know?

We used to sit in front of

the fireplace for hours.

There you are.

Your old room.

Yeah, I wasn't sure,

but I remember the stars,

like the key chain.

I'm not ready to leave yet.

We'll be back here soon,

I promise.

Hey, you know what I could

go for right now?

So, do you remember any of this?

No, not really.

I only remember

riding on the trolley.

Well, I guess that makes sense.

You were barely six

when we moved.

Why did we move?

Well, after your dad passed,

I felt like

we needed a fresh start.

Nana and Pops lived in L.A...

It just made sense.

Do you miss it?

Sometimes, yeah,

but that's what makes

trips like this so special,

right?

Yule Fest

is one of the best things

about Hollowford.

You wanna go check out

that ice sculpture?

Sure.

Okay.

You can stay here maybe?

I'll be right back.

Oh, okay.

Cool, cool.

The first tween brush-off

is the hardest.

Excuse me?

It's nothing personal.

He just doesn't

want to seem uncool

in front of the other kids.

Oh...

How old is he, 11-ish?

He's 10.

Good guess.

You have kids?

No.

My sister has four,

all of them boys.

You're an uncle to four boys?

My other sister

has another four.

Also, all boys.

Eight boys?

Yeah.

I guess that answers my question

about what you do for a living.

You're a professional uncle.

Well, If we are

assigning labels,

I prefer the term "funcle".

Yes, kinda my thing.

Matthew.

I'm Matthew Jamison.

Oh, uh, Kaitlyn Morrison.

I went to school

with a Brian Morrison.

Uh, he was my husband.

I'm sorry for your loss.

We were actually friends

in high school.

We sort of lost touch,

but he was a really good guy.

He was.

Thank you.

How did you two meet?

Oh, gosh...

uh, UCLA.

Not on campus, though.

We both worked at

the same real estate office.

He answered the phones.

I uploaded photo listings.

The humble beginnings

of the architect

and commercial photographer

we became.

You were a good team.

I think we were.

I know a real-estate joke,

if you wanna hear it?

Always.

What does a house wear?

I don't know.

Address.

A-ha?

It's a good one, right?

It's a good joke.

- It's good.

- Yup.

My nephew taught me that one.

He is only five,

but he has incredible

comic timing.

That's sweet.

So, is this

your first Yule Fest?

Oh, no.

We lived here

when Adam was littler.

Brian used to talk about

the amazing Christmas festival

in his hometown,

and I thought he was

over-selling it.

- He was not.

- He was not.

Jinx.

You have to buy me a drink.

Uh, no, no, Sir.

I don't buy strangers drinks.

Oh, wow.

Well, real bummer

that you can't talk anymore.

I was enjoying our conversation.

Excuse me?

Hi, can I please have a cider?

Psst!

I haven't seen you here before.

I'm visiting my grandparents

for Christmas.

So you don't have

any friends here?

No.

Everyone needs a friend.

Come with me.

Hey, wait!

Where are you going?

Excuse me?

Did you just see where

that little boy went?

What little boy?

He was just here,

wearing this Santa hat.

You stole a Santa hat

from a kid?

What? No.

It fell off when he ran away.

I was just joking.

Sorry.

No, it's me.

I'm not the greatest with jokes.

Skye!

I gotta go.

My mom's making me get

new shoes,

but I like these ones.

Hey, look!

I'm Skye.

Your shoe twin.

Adam, nice to meet you.

Mm.

Wow.

You're really enjoying this,

aren't you?

This is the best cider

I've ever had.

Well, I had to buy it for you.

You were just

following the rules.

Exactly.

Are you big on that?

Oh, sure.

I always have to drive

the speed limit.

I always have to apologize

when I'm wrong.

- No!

- Oh, yeah.

And the most

annoying thing about me,

I always have to

make things right.

Actually, that's not annoying.

That's heroic.

You know, I wanted

to tell you that I am...

Mom!

Oh, hey, honey!

Where'd you get that Santa hat?

A boy dropped it

and now I can't find him.

Oh, okay.

Well, we can swing by

the lost and found

on our way out.

It was nice to meet you.

Come on, kiddo.

How was your visit to the house?

Oh, it was good.

It was emotional,

but it made me feel

closer to him.

Aw, well, you know,

you don't have to sell.

You could just lease again?

Mm...

Delay the decision

is one of my favorite decisions.

Well, you've got time

to think about it.

I don't know.

I...

I was just offered a position

with the firm that

I've been working with recently,

and I'm considering taking it.

The problem is, it's...

It's based in London.

Oh, that...

That's a lot further away

than L.A...

Yeah, it would be a big change,

and I don't know

if I could hold onto the house,

but sometimes, it feels

a little bit like

I'm holding onto the past.

I understand.

It's so much more

than just a house.

See, that's what's really hard,

because that house was a dream

we built together.

It's tough.

Who's ready for the first

Christmas adventure

of the holiday season?

I am.

Great.

I meant to give you that.

Matthew's representing

the developer

who's looking to buy

your property.

You should give him a call.

There he is.

Merry Christmas, Howie.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Kees.

You remember my daughter-in-law?

I sure do.

Hello, Kaitlyn.

Hi.

This can't be little Adam?

Not so little anymore.

It's really good to see you.

I hear you're the new chair

of the Yule Fest.

It's my new full-time job.

Now, Adam, I know how important

the trolley was to you,

so it's only right

that Mr. Kees is the first stop

on our Christmas adventure list.

The trolley's here?

There it is.

Did you get it running yet?

Uh, we haven't been able to run

'er for about two years.

Engine gave out.

Can you fix it?

I'm trying to get it going

for Christmas,

but don't tell anyone.

I want to make it

a Yule Fest surprise.

There you go.

Adam, look!

A place to volunteer.

I'll go find someone to ask.

Excuse me?

Sir, my son and I

are looking for a holiday

volunteer opportunity, and...

Hey.

Hi.

I was hoping I'd run into you.

Really?

Yes.

Mom, did you ask?

I did.

Hi, I'm Matthew.

You must be Adam.

I saw you in the square

the other night.

I hear you and your mom

are interested in volunteering?

You know what?

Bummer.

Our schedule's all booked up,

so that's too bad.

But volunteering at Christmas

is our family tradition.

You said that we'd find

a charity

that needs us out here.

Well, I'm sure the food bank

could use your help?

Matthew, where are you hiding

the good ones?

We need to go big or go home.

Well, we literally

have to get it home,

so let's not get too big.

Not too big, good ones,

over here.

Follow me.

Oh, Adam.

I wanted to introduce you

to my buddy, Louis.

Louis, Adam.

Adam, Louis.

Cool.

Did you make him?

Yes, I did.

How did you know that?

It's the eyes, right?

He's got my eyes.

Oh!

Hey, let me help.

I'm fine.

Indulge me.

I gotta do something

to earn this apron.

This one!

This is the one!

Wow, this one's got

a lot of girth.

I love it.

We might need some help

getting it home, though.

Well, I have a really good

delivery service

I can recommend.

What did you pick up

at the tree lot,

apart from the tree?

Would you stop?

Now, that is a tree.

Yeah.

Now, we have

a lot of food inside,

and you're staying for dinner.

How can I resist?

You can't.

Christmas rules.

We'll get the tree.

Do you wanna tell me

what's going on?

You didn't say a word at dinner.

You tell me.

I... I wish I could.

You made the offer on my house.

I tried to tell you...

Matthew, can you come over

and help us

straighten out the tree?

Yeah.

Ah...

We got this one

when we were first married.

How long ago was that?

55 of the best years of my life.

You know,

you can leave any time.

Please don't feel obligated

to stay here.

I don't feel obligated.

I'm happy to help.

But, like, I don't want

to keep you, you know?

I'm sure you have

way more important things

to do tonight.

Not really.

Schedule's wide open.

Well, that's terrific.

We can really use your height.

Well, I'm all yours.

Matthew, how is

that new resort development

coming along?

Uh, great.

I don't know if you guys

had time to talk about it,

but Matthew's the one

that brought the offer

from JCM about the house?

Oh, no, we haven't, uh,

talked about that yet.

So, I saw the brochure online.

It looks really luxurious.

Well, JCM does a great job

with their projects.

I mean, they've certainly

changed the landscape

around here

from what it looked like

back in the day.

You grew up here?

Did you know my dad?

I did.

I did know your dad.

You know, I regret that

we didn't really stay in touch,

but I played football with him

all through high school,

and on our very last game,

I was feeling a little down

'cause I knew the next time

we'd be in that stadium,

it wouldn't be on the field,

we'd be in the stands,

but he told me

not to focus on that,

but to focus on

all the good times that we had.

He was a pretty smart guy.

He really was.

I think it's time.

Oh, you know what?

I can't find a star

in any of these boxes.

I'll look for it tomorrow.

I think it's out in the garage.

Everybody ready?

Yes.

You did a good job.

Three, two, one...

Ha-ha! There it is!

It's beautiful, Dad!

Yeah, you made a great choice.

Why didn't you tell me

that you were the one

who made the offer on my house?

I tried to tell you.

Oh, really?

I missed that,

because you literally said

nothing about it.

Look, I don't work for JCM.

I'm a contractor,

but they came to me.

They wanted me to bring

the offer to you

because I'm local,

and I know your family.

Exactly, yes,

you know my family,

so you should have

told me about it.

I tried to tell you,

but you had to go home.

You could have told me any time.

Hiding that information from me

was a really weird thing to do.

It would be if I was hiding it,

but I wasn't.

Do you want to know

what the offer is?

You're unbelievable.

You should at least know

what JCM is offering

before you make a decision

on what to do.

How do I know

if it's a good offer

if I don't even know

how much the house is worth?

I could recommend someone

to appraise it.

Isn't that

a conflict of interest?

I played football

with your husband,

so I think

we're bonded for life.

Are we?

Look, you...

You don't have to like me.

You're just collecting information.

I'll call my guy,

we can meet you

at the house tomorrow, okay?

1:00 p.m...

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas.

I did some research last night.

I ran some comps,

but this number is way higher.

Well, it's a beautiful property

in a great school zone.

It's got a lot going for it,

if you were to list it.

I could start a trust fund

for Adam

with this kind of money.

You know,

speaking as a Morrison

family friend,

and not as

a representative of JCM,

if you made a few

tiny improvements,

you could put it on the market,

see if you get

an even better offer.

What kind of improvements?

Nothing big, painting,

new lighting fixtures,

new carpet upstairs,

maybe a new porch swing?

Even if I wanted

to make improvements,

I wouldn't know where to start.

I could recommend

some contractors.

No, it's okay.

Look, I am sorry

about what happened when we met.

When I...

when I realized who you were,

I should have told you

immediately who I was.

Well, thank you for your help

with the appraiser.

My pleasure.

I was wondering if you and Adam

would want to help me decorate

some food drive donation bins?

Put 'em out around town?

Sure.

I bet Adam

would really like that.

All right, Adam,

here's your kit,

and I'm just gonna be

right over there

talking to Mr. Kees.

Cool.

- See you later.

- Okay.

You can't do that alone.

Are you talking to me?

Yeah.

You need someone

to hold up your walls.

You should ask

a friend to help you.

Come on.

Hey, wait!

Where are you going?

Did you just see

where that kid went?

No.

These were his glasses.

You don't have to pretend

to have people with you,

you know?

I'm not pretending.

What are you doing?

I make wreaths

with all the leftover stuff

Matthew gives us

from the tree lot.

Then we give them out

at the library,

where my mom works.

That's cool.

I hope people like them.

They will.

Do you want to help me build

my gingerbread house?

Yeah.

Do you want to make

some wreaths with me later?

Sure.

Okay.

Do you like living

in Hollowford?

Yeah.

It's hard to be new sometimes,

but I like it here.

I think I might

want to move here.

That would be awesome.

Then I wouldn't be

the only new kid.

Yeah, I just don't know

how to tell my mom.

She wants to sell the house.

We'll think of a way.

We will?

Yeah.

Hello?

Kaitlyn?

It's Jenny.

Jenny!

How are you?

Great.

The proofs came back

and the sh*ts were incredible.

As usual.

Good!

I'm glad they worked out.

They always do.

That's why I'm calling, actually.

Did you have a chance

to look at the offer

that we sent over?

Um, I did, yes.

It's-it's very generous.

Well, when I told them

that you were considering it,

they flipped

and sweetened the deal.

Full health benefits,

and all moving expenses.

Ooh...

That's really tough

for me to turn down.

Um, well, you know,

I would need some flexibility

in my schedule initially

in order to get Adam settled.

Done.

They really want you to say yes.

I think...

yes.

Get up, get up!

Ah...

It's the first one

I've missed all day.

All right, let's see

what you've got.

Wow.

Why am I not surprised?

Beginner's luck, Jamie.

Wow.

Very nice.

So, how's the project

coming along?

Materials have started to ship,

and should arrive

shortly after the New Year.

Fantastic,

and how are we doing

with the property on Elm?

Is she ready to sell yet?

Miss Morrison

is considering all her options,

including other buyers.

Seriously?

I wanna get that deal done, Matthew.

I understand.

So, start applying

a little friendly pressure.

Well, I...

I know the family, so...

that wouldn't feel right.

You're a rare bird, Matthew,

and I admire that.

I could use a man like you

in New York.

You don't have

an office in New York.

Well, I've been working on that.

I'm helping you.

Okay.

I thought you were trying

to steal this tree,

and I'm about to let you have it

because it's actually

very heavy.

It is heavy.

Hey, none of the contractors

on your list

are available

until after Christmas.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

So, I was hoping

you could tell me

what the improvements are,

and maybe I can do them myself?

Here?

Here, yeah.

Gosh.

Ah!

Do you have experience?

No... great.

What's the rush?

Well,

I have just been offered

a new job

in London, actually,

so Adam and I are leaving

right after Christmas.

That's great.

It is, but then

everything would have to be done

by Christmas, and...

You know, this was

the first house

that Brian designed,

so if I'm going to let it go,

I want to get

the best deal possible...

For Adam.

Right, of course.

Yeah.

Will you help me?

Yes.

Yes, I will help you.

Thank you.

So, how's everything with Adam?

Any regrets about

coming here for Christmas?

None.

I think he may have even

made a friend.

What?

Social learning happening

before our very eyes.

I'm so relieved.

You were right.

You know, you've got a knack

for knowing what people need.

Brian was the same way.

You know, it's funny

that you say that

because I'm going back to school

to become a nurse.

What?

Are you serious?

What specialty?

Well, um, labor and delivery

is the goal.

That's perfect.

My labor and delivery nurse...

And my doula...

They were amazing.

They worked together,

and they were the first ones

to really see me,

really see

that I was struggling.

Well, how come

I didn't hear about this?

IVF was... really intense,

and I didn't want anyone

to think

I was complaining

about this dream baby.

You know, you were

probably exhausted.

Yeah,

I think I was struggling

a lot more than I knew,

and it made it really hard

for me to bond with Adam

when he was little.

How come you didn't tell me?

I felt guilty.

Even now.

I hate that

that's how my relationship

with Adam started.

I never would have been able

to handle it without Brian,

and without the help

of my amazing nurse.

I mean, you are

going to save lives

just like that.

I know it.

You know you don't

have to feel guilty.

You're an amazing mom.

Ah, I try.

I'll settle for him

just having a great Christmas.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

Well, I told you I'd help,

and I'm a full-service

operation.

So, we can knock out

these projects together,

and then you'll still

have some time

to enjoy Yule Fest with Adam.

Well, I wish I could say

I didn't need your help,

but I do.

Should we get started?

- Sure!

- Yup.

Thanks.

Yeah, let's do it.

Hey!

I was just

cleaning out the vents.

Oh? I couldn't tell.

Here ya go.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Matthew, I checked

the food donation bin today.

Uh-huh?

There was barely anything in it.

Ah, don't worry about it.

As it gets closer to Christmas,

I'm sure it'll fill up.

Yeah, I agree.

People will come through.

But what if they don't?

What happens then?

I say we host a fundraiser

for the food bank,

here

at the house!

Honey, that would be

really hard to pull off

this close to the holiday.

Well, we could talk

to Mr. Kees

and make it a part of Yule Fest?

I don't know.

That's a big job.

Could be a good way

to show off the house.

You're for this idea?

It could be a Christmassy

kind of Open House.

Yeah, and we could call it

the Yule House,

and we could decorate

all the rooms inside

with different

Christmassy things,

and then we could sell

the tickets

and give all the money

to the food bank!

You're really excited

about this idea, huh?

Yes!

Okay, I'm in.

Am I crazy for doing this?

What, for trying

to finish the reno

and turn the house into

a Christmas attraction

in one week?

Yes.

No!

Not at all.

I mean,

maybe a little, tiny bit,

but in the best way.

Adam seemed so excited.

I haven't seen him

like that since...

What you and Adam are doing

for the food bank

is incredible.

It'll make such a difference

in people's lives.

There's still so much to do.

I hope I don't let anyone down.

You won't.

You sound so sure.

I am.

We can do this.

How are the repairs going,

Mr. Kees?

They're coming along.

Rose sent me

with some of

her famous Christmas cookies.

I look forward to them

every year.

Thank you

for the special delivery.

We actually have a favor to ask.

Well, you're in luck

because I love doing favors

for people,

especially ones

who bring me cookies.

We're raising money

for the food bank,

so we're throwing a fundraiser

at my old house.

How can I help?

Would you be willing to donate

some free trolley rides

to get people from Main Street

to the "Yule House"

on the night of the fundraiser?

The Yule House?

Each room is gonna have

a different Christmas theme.

You know,

we haven't introduced

a new event at Yule Fest

in years.

I think it's about time we do.

Count me

and the Jolly Trolly in.

We won't let you down.

Thank you, Mr. Kees.

Thank you.

Did someone get a Cricut

as an early Christmas present?

I work

at an arts and craft store.

If I didn't have one of these,

I would lose all credibility.

What did Kees say

about the trolley?

He's in.

Great.

So, we have seven days

to decorate the five rooms.

Whew, have we got

the themes yet?

Adam's trying

to come up with some,

but he hasn't gotten

anywhere yet.

He's outside waiting for Skye.

She's gonna help him brainstorm.

Hi!

What are you drawing?

This is my favorite view.

See those white mountains?

The snow,

the bright-blue sky?

There's nothing like it

in all of Hollowford.

That's my house.

It's really good.

Thanks.

I still have to work at it.

I'm working on my design skills.

My dad was an architect.

This was the first house

he ever designed.

Maybe one day, I'll get there.

Do you ever have trouble

coming up with ideas

of what to draw?

Sometimes.

I'm trying to figure out

how to decorate my house

for Yule Fest,

but I can't come up with

anything good.

When I'm not sure

what I want to do,

I let myself dream,

and trust that the right idea

will come to me.

Go ahead, give it a try.

Just start.

It will come.

I have something

to show you guys!

A neighbor helped me make them.

What neighbor?

I don't know, a neighbor.

Let me see.

Oh, you scared me.

Is everything okay?

Yes, yes.

You didn't happen to see

a guy out there, did you?

Not you, too?

What do you mean?

Is this like a family joke?

Like the time Adam saw the guy

with the green sunglasses,

or the Santa-hat boy?

You guys are silly.

We are silly.

Come on in.

Look who's here!

- Hi.

- Hi.

You drew these?

He gave me a sketchpad

and a pencil,

and then I just started drawing.

Our house used to be

full of drawings,

sketches like this.

These are incredible.

I mean, the concept seems sound.

Layout makes sense, it's clear.

I am very impressed.

So, there's a Snowman room,

and a Winter Village room

with Christmas trains.

And a Santa room...

I wasn't really sure

about the last one.

How about an Angel room?

What do you all think?

I think we should

get started, huh?

Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You don't

have to stay here all day.

I know you have a real job.

You must be exhausted.

I love what I do,

so I never really get tired.

Well, I can relate.

See?

That's another thing

we have in common.

What are

the other things exactly?

We both love Hollowford.

We love volunteering

for charitable organizations.

Christmas.

Everybody loves Christmas.

That is not true.

My uncle Kenny hated Christmas.

Poor Uncle Kenny.

He was so misunderstood.

Christmas is wonderful,

but it can also be

really emotional.

There's another thing

that we have in common.

What's that?

Empathy.

Oh, looking good in here!

Now, Adam and Skye

are downstairs.

Howard and I are heading home,

but we'll be back tomorrow.

Thank you so much.

Are you going to the Yule Fest

Christmas craft event

this afternoon?

I think I'll just stay here

and keep working.

Oh, no, you should come.

You gotta get out in the world.

You don't wanna become

like Uncle Kenny.

How's everything going

with your mom?

Good.

I think seeing the house

all decorated

will convince her to stay.

I think Dad would have liked us

to spend Christmas in the house.

That's nice.

Good job!

So, now that you've cut

the patterns

into your luminary,

the next step is really simple.

So you're just gonna take

your sand,

pour a little bit in the base,

and then you're gonna take

your battery-powered votive,

place it on top,

and something really plain

can become something

really special.

It's a five-minute craft

that brings a season of joy.

Yes, Sir?

Has anybody ever

done this craft for charity?

We're raising money

for the local food bank.

You mean sell luminary kits

for people to make?

Yeah!

We can make them and sell them.

We could write people's names

on them.

Or dedicate them to people.

I think the Yule Fest Committee

would be very interested

in supporting this effort,

if Clara doesn't mind

giving us a hand.

I'd love to see luminaries

up and down Main Street.

I think it's a wonderful idea,

and knowing my uncle,

he will give you

all the supplies that you need.

Thank you all so much

for having me.

You did great!

Did you have

any idea about this?

No.

Adam is full of surprises.

You have a very special boy.

Time flies so fast.

Hang on to him at this age.

Make every minute count.

I will.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey there!

What's this?

Some extra outdoor

Christmas decorations

we had in the garage.

We thought you could use them

on the Yule House.

Yeah.

You know what?

It would be great to have

some outdoor decorations.

I'm gonna start loading the car.

No, no, no, no, no,

it's cold out there.

I will deal with that project,

and you stay warm.

That's why I married you.

I know.

Hey, has anyone seen the star

for the top of the tree?

I haven't come across it yet.

Oh, did you check the basement?

Uh, not yet, but I will.

I'll check it.

I could go there with ya.

Oh...

What's going on?

Hey, Adam.

Look.

That's how I remember him.

Me too.

Can I keep it?

Absolutely.

What's Matthew doing today?

Oh, we're gonna see him

later on at the Yule House.

I wonder what dad would think

of us spending

all this time with him?

Popcorn.

Anyone want popcorn?

- I do!

- You do?

- Okay. Popcorn?

- Yeah.

Popcorn.

Yeah, butter.

On it!

Are you gonna tell me

what's wrong,

or am I just gonna keep working

on the scariest Santa ever

in silence?

Sorry.

It's Adam.

Sometimes, he asks me

these questions,

and I'm convinced

that I've given him

the wrong answer.

Sometimes, I pretend I'm asleep,

or I inexplicably yell

"popcorn!"

Well, I think

a lot of parents do that.

Maybe not the popcorn thing.

Maybe.

Is there a particular question

that Adam asked

that's freaking you out, or...?

No, not in particular,

just tough questions in general.

I just...

Sometimes, I wish I knew

if I was getting it right

with Adam, you know?

Well, when I'm anxious,

I make a worry list.

So, what are you

worried about right now?

I'm worried that Adam

is gonna figure out

that I have no idea

what I'm doing,

that I'm gonna buy him

the wrong Christmas present,

that he's never gonna know

how much his father loved him.

Basically, that I'm failing

as a single mother,

and he's gonna stop visiting,

until one year,

he comes home for Christmas,

and he finds me buried

underneath a pile

of candy apples.

Also spiders.

That... that was a lot.

I know.

The holidays are...

really stressful,

and you have

more stressors than most,

so maybe you should

give yourself a break?

What do you say we meet up

at Antonio's later?

Grab dinner, decompress.

Glass of wine?

I love wine.

That Santa's

gonna haunt people's dreams.

Yeah, I know.

I'll see you at Antonio's.

It's a date.

Hello, there, busy bees...

It's not safe

for Kaitlyn in here!

Oh, my gosh,

I thought you said

we were gonna

keep it simple this year.

Did you not see my shirt,

"World's Best Auntie"?

Oh, I've seen it.

Just don't overdo it.

Define "overdoing it".

We're done wrapping

Kaitlyn's gift.

Okay, I'm opening my eyes.

Whoa, Maddy...

What?

See the aforementioned shirt.

Okay, Aunt Maddy,

how would you and John

like to watch Adam for me?

- Of course.

- Yeah?

Yeah, what are you up to?

I'm just, um,

I'm just gonna

grab a quick dinner,

with Matthew.

Won't be late.

You know what?

Take your time,

because it takes John and I

a long time

to spoil Adam properly.

What are you gonna wear?

I don't know.

It's just Matthew.

I have a dress

that you can borrow.

We're just going as friends.

Friends can wear dresses.

It's not a date.

It's not.

It would be okay if it was.

Yeah.

You deserve to be happy.

You know, Adam and I

make a really good team.

We like it that way,

but thank you.

I appreciate it.

I'm gonna go

take a quick shower.

Yeah, so the condos

face the mountains.

It's...

It's a beautiful view.

That's why I need to secure

the final property.

Hey, how's everything going

with Miss Morrison?

Is she ready to sell?

Uh, actually,

she's throwing a fundraiser

for the food bank

on December 23rd.

You should come.

Uh, all the rooms

will be decorated

in different Christmas themes...

Let me stop you right there.

I'm not a Christmas guy.

I'm a sports guy.

Well, you could be both.

So, she's not ready to sell yet?

She'll be ready to list it

after the event,

and you can bid,

see how it plays out.

Okay, good.

Good, good.

So, how's everything else?

The guys say

that you haven't been

around the site much lately...

Oh, my guys are the best.

They don't need me

standing over their shoulder.

It wasn't a criticism.

I'm impressed by that.

You know, Matthew,

I've got a lot of pet projects

in New York

that could use your help.

What kind of projects?

Ah-hah, I thought

you'd never ask.

Look at this.

This is my favorite.

Okay, you see?

See all through here?

These are all subsidized units,

along with our regular

luxury ones,

and this whole area here

is commercial space

that we're going to use

to share with the residents

and local non-profits.

This is really different

than what you guys normally do.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's not gonna be easy.

I'm gonna need someone

to shepherd this project

that believes in it.

You know, someone that has

a feel for community.

I think that person's you, Matthew.

You look nice.

Oh, thank you.

So do you.

Please.

Yeah.

Thanks, great.

Thanks.

I, uh, ordered a bottle of wine.

Ooh, now we're talking.

Nice to be out with a friend.

To friendship.

So, my first job,

they tried to pay me

in linen pants.

It was a dry cleaner,

and I guess

there's a lot of people

who don't return to pick up

their linen pants.

Wait, were the pants

in your size?

No, not even close.

They tried to pay me

in strangers' pants...

So it's my job

as a photographer,

to sell the thing, right?

But I couldn't see

what I was selling.

Everything was beige...

The backdrop,

the table, the cat.

I was a last-minute replacement,

so I didn't have time

to do the proper prep.

So, what were they selling?

They were selling

the color beige!

- So, why was there a cat?

- I don't know!

"Rockin' Around

the Christmas Tree"

is an overrated song.

There, I said it.

How dare you?

I prefer "White Christmas",

but what beats them all?

"The Christmas Song".

Thank you so much for this.

It felt really good

to take a step back and breathe.

I took that job...

in London?

I swear, I'm more worried now

than I was before I took it.

I thought you wanted the job?

Oh, I do.

I'm just... I'm constantly

second-guessing my decision.

I mean, I want the stability

of a steady job,

but, more than anything else,

I want what's best for Adam,

so, I'm...

I hope I made the right choice.

I don't know.

I get it.

I'm actually considering

a promotion, too.

That's awesome!

Yeah, but it's in New York.

So, I guess

we're both at a crossroads.

Right.

But you were brave.

You decided to go for it.

I just, I don't know

if I'm ready to start over.

Right.

I'd have to find a new dentist.

That's such a hassle.

Yeah, it's... it's a hassle.

Listen,

I know you were anxious before,

like when we did the list thing,

and you're worried about

making the right decision,

but from where I'm standing,

you are incredible.

Oh, stop.

No, I mean it.

You're a single mom,

out there k*lling it

day after day.

You are smart,

funny, creative...

I'm a really good cook.

You're incredible.

I can't do this.

I'm... Thank you for dinner.

I'm sorry.

Sorry!

Hi!

Hi...

Is there a reason

you're avoiding me?

- Avoiding you?

- Yeah.

No, I'm not...

I needed candy.

Oh, but you didn't buy

any candy.

I was checking on the candy.

Is the candy okay?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Well, that explains it,

'cause from back there

it looked like you saw me,

and then jumped into

the candy store,

and I didn't want to go in there

because I didn't want

to scare you,

have you knock over

a display shelf,

run...

Can we sit for a second?

Yeah.

Here's the deal.

I was embarrassed...

Am embarrassed,

about leaving so abruptly

from dinner.

I felt something, too...

in that moment we...

should just talk about it?

I don't think I can.

Okay.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

So, what were you doing

before you dove

into the candy store?

I didn't dive.

- You...

- It was a duck.

- Hmm.

- I was Christmas shopping.

Want some company?

I'm a great gift-giver.

And very modest, too.

- Yes?

- Yes!

Huh?

- No.

- No?

No.

John would love this hat.

I don't think

anyone loves that hat.

I don't know...

I need something

a little more light-hearted.

What about a silly tie?

Nobody ever wants to wear a tie,

ever,

and then when we're forced to,

it's usually some work thing,

so it can't have gophers

riding a llama.

That's tough, but it's fair.

Oh, I know!

What about

the Cheese of the Month club?

You said you were

a good gift-giver.

What?

Who doesn't like cheese?

Are you cold?

Here.

Really?

Oh, no, I don't have to...

I can't take your scarf.

You didn't take my scarf.

I offered it.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry about...

about before.

You know, I haven't had

a moment like that

since Brian.

If it helps,

I haven't felt like that

with anyone

for a very long time.

It's scary to be vulnerable

with someone.

Friends?

Always.

I'm a little nervous.

Good evening, folks!

Caroling will begin

in 10 minutes.

Our first song tonight

will be "We Wish You

a Merry Christmas."

Yes!

Whoo-hoo!

Told you so, right?

- Hi!

- Hey!

Where's Adam?

Oh, he's waiting in line

for Santa Claus.

I'm a little worried about him.

He was kinda quiet.

Well, maybe he's quiet

because he's mulling over

what he wants.

A lot of tough decisions

happen in that hut.

I think I'm gonna

go wait for him

over at the "Sacred Santa Hut".

Look, don't...

Don't mock the Hut.

Oh, no, I would never.

- Okay, good.

- I'm very serious.

I'll go with you.

Okay.

- Bye.

- Yeah.

Mr. Kees,

how are the repairs going?

Slow,

but, um, I'm still hopeful

the trolley will be ready.

Keep your fingers crossed,

Miss Maddy.

Merry Christmas, young man!

Come on up here

and get your picture taken.

You look like a gentleman

with a lot on his mind.

Yes, I am.

Tell me, have you been

a good boy this Christmas?

I tried.

I think you were.

I'll check the list later,

but it's a gut feeling.

Now,

what did you want

to ask me for this year?

I want to stay here

in our house,

in Dad's house.

Have you told your mom?

No.

Why not?

I feel scared,

because I'm so happy here,

but I don't want to make things

harder on her.

Sharing our feelings,

and being honest

with the people we love,

helps us understand each other,

even if it's not

what they're ready to hear.

I think you're right.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas, Adam.

Merry Christmas.

Wait.

How do you know my name?

Here you go, honey.

Did you have fun tonight?

You seemed a little quiet.

I figured out

what I want for Christmas.

That's great news.

What is it?

I want to keep our house

and move back to Hollowford.

Oh...

Adam, I'm... I'm sorry, we can't.

We can.

We have a place to live.

I can go to school with Skye,

and you can do your job here.

I'm so sorry.

It's... It's not possible.

Why?

Why can't we stay?

Okay.

I was going to tell you,

but I...

I just got a new job,

and I've got a salary,

and benefits,

and it's in London.

What?

Yeah, it's gonna be

an amazing adventure for us.

We're gonna travel

the whole world.

It's gonna be a fresh start

for both of us.

No!

I want our fresh start

to be here.

Please, Mom?

Adam, I'm sorry.

Honey?

Honey?

Are you okay?

Adam told me

that he wants to stay here,

so I told him about London,

and now he's really upset.

Aw...

parenting is not

for the faint of heart.

You can only do

what you think is right.

We all trust you.

I wish I trusted myself.

I know you'll find a way.

Hi, honey.

Grandpa dropped me off.

You wanna help me paint?

Did you have fun with Grandpa?

Okay, I know

you're really upset with me,

and I want you to know that

that's okay.

We don't have to agree

on everything.

You might even

hate me sometimes.

It's all right,

but what I don't want you to do

right now is shut down,

withdraw,

because I have loved

seeing you here.

Your... confidence.

Your voice.

I haven't heard that

in such a long time.

I don't hate you, Mom.

We're gonna be okay,

wherever we are,

because we have

each other, right?

Hey,

since this fundraiser's

coming up in a couple of days,

what do you say you and I spend

one last night at the Yule House

before we leave?

Does that sound fun?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Sorry to interrupt,

I wasn't expecting

anyone to be here.

Just wanted to drop these off.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, I'm just giving Adam

a night in the house

before we leave.

He's having a slumber party

with Skye.

Sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, I just set them up

to watch some Christmas movies

in the Santa room,

so they're basically in heaven.

Awesome.

Well, have fun.

I'll just... I'll put these

in the garage for now?

- Yeah...

- Wait!

What?

Do you want to come in, um,

for a steaming mug

of hot chocolate?

It's the least I can do.

You've been incredibly generous

with your time,

and energy, and...

You had me at "steaming".

I'd love to.

Jamie called earlier.

He really wants the property.

He means well,

but he shouldn't

be pressuring you.

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

I turned him down,

but I might have to rethink that

if the offer goes up.

Mm.

Well, you deserve to get

the best price for this place.

You stick with

your original plan,

and you can list it,

and everyone can bid...

Jamie, too.

He's been so patient,

and you've been amazing.

I mean, you've made this place

magical for me,

and for Adam.

Helping us throw

this big charity event?

It's the perfect way

to say goodbye

to this beautiful house,

and you know,

I realized

that for as much time

as we have spent together,

you've never told me anything

about your personal life.

Hmm.

Have you ever been married?

No.

I... I got close... once,

but she left me

after I moved back here.

I was starting a business.

She didn't feel like

she was a priority,

and she was probably right.

It was my fault,

but I didn't...

I didn't know

what was important back then.

Do you know now?

I like to think so.

I'm sorry.

I know you're not ready.

Yeah...

I'll see you tomorrow.

Uh... I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks for coming, buddy.

I never turn down

good fusion food.

Good thing

New York's full of them.

Any developments

on the Morrison house?

Well, she just wants

to get the best price she can,

and she deserves to.

So, I think if you come up

on your offer a little bit,

you might get lucky.

That's good to know.

I'm gonna put

a little extra something

in your stocking this year.

That's not necessary,

but since you mentioned

New York...

I'm leaning towards yes.

You are gonna love it.

Anything you want, you got it.

So, um,

what tipped the odds

in my favor?

Uh, there's...

no one to stay here for,

and I know that now.

Well, lucky me, huh?

Oh, hey, I know

you're not a Christmas guy,

but I left some tickets

with your receptionist

for the fundraiser

tomorrow night.

I'll probably be working,

but I appreciate it.

Well, I figured,

but just in case

you change your mind.

Hey.

I couldn't resist the offer.

I signed the contract

this morning.

I spoke to Jamie.

He's over the moon.

I can't believe

this isn't going to be

our house anymore.

Yeah, it's a lot to process.

Come in.

Hey, Jenny!

Yeah, absolutely.

I do, I have to call you back.

We're moving to London.

Yeah, I know.

You know, I think moms and dads

have a real hard job,

'cause they're trying

to balance what they want

with what's best for you,

and I know how you feel

about leaving Hollowford,

'cause I'm starting a new job

after Christmas,

and it's in New York.

Everybody is leaving.

When will I see you again?

I don't know...

but what I do know

is that we can't know

everything

that's in store for us,

so we just have to...

enjoy life as it comes,

with its ups and downs,

and be grateful for the time

that we got to be together.

Hey...

I got you something.

Hmm?

Come here.

Oh!

Oh, he's got him!

Touchdown!

Oh, he's getting away!

Down.

That was fun.

You nervous?

You know what? No.

For the first time, maybe ever,

I'm really proud

of what we did here.

Yeah, me too.

They're here!

He made it.

The trolley's here!

Merry Christmas, Adam.

Hi, Grandma!

Oh, I had to be

one of the first ones

to see it all done,

and we brought along

a few friends

to start the cavalry.

- Merry Christmas!

- Thank you!

- Hey, Mom!

- Hi!

Mr. Kees...

You made it happen.

I had faith that

it would all come together.

Well, you were right.

The food bank

has just informed me

that we have raised over $5,000!

- What?

- Wow!

The Yule Fest Committee

would also like to honor

the hard work

of Adam Morrison and Skye Julian

with an award presentation

at the Yule Fest Finale

tomorrow night.

Hey.

I'm sorry, man.

I thought everything

would be over by now.

Oh, you're not here

for the event?

Oh, no, no.

I gotta get a jump on things.

I mean, this whole property

is gonna get rezoned

for Commercial

right away.

Plus, I don't know

how long the tear-down's

gonna take.

Tear-down?

What are you talking about?

Well, you know I lost the deal

on East Channing, right?

So, we needed a new place

to build the high rise,

and well, this place

made perfect sense.

They're tearing

the Yule House down?

Wait, you said

that you were gonna keep

most of the properties intact,

especially the ones

closest to downtown.

Well, that was the plan,

but then we went

into a different direction.

So, we like to keep

the plans fluid.

Right, Matthew?

Wait, you knew about this?

No. I...

I mean, I knew they lost

the Channing property,

and were looking

for a replacement, but...

I can't talk about this

right now.

Come on, Adam.

Kaitlyn...

Walk away from the contract.

What?

I can't do that.

I've seen you

walk away from deals

where you lost millions.

Pick another lot.

I will help you find it.

It's not that simple.

I bought the house.

I can do what I want

with the property.

It's what we do.

Not this time.

Why?

Because the house

means something,

and tearing it down isn't right.

I'm sorry, Matt.

It's just business.

I thought you said

you were trying

to change this company.

Do things that were

more community-minded.

I am.

So don't do this.

I am asking as a friend.

Please.

It's a done deal.

Well, thank you for

the New York opportunity, Jamie,

but I have to decline.

Matthew, come on.

No.

It'll never be

just about business for me.

Ah!

You know what, I just need

five more minutes.

It's fine.

Yeah, Adam went ahead

with Mom and Dad.

Oh!

Well, you should go, too.

Mom never found the star.

You know what?

I'll go check in the basement

before I go.

- Okay.

- Okay.

We'll see you there?

- Yeah, see you there.

- Great.

Okay.

Ah.

Is...

Is this possible?

Come here.

How? How?

My wish!

My wish came true!

I wished for five more minutes

for Adam,

and he's not here.

I have to get him...

I've been with him.

He doesn't need

five more minutes.

I'll be with him forever.

He'll see the signs.

You both will.

Hey, please don't go?

I can't do this by myself.

You...

You were... You were so much.

I'm just me.

Adam's kind,

and capable,

and he's smart,

and generous.

He's so full of love.

Yeah.

He's always looking

for reasons to help people.

Yeah.

He's just like you.

He got those things from you.

You can do this.

You've been doing this.

The fire's glowing

It's finally snowing

Tinsel's shining

Lights are glowing

There's presents hiding...

Told ya I'd finish that dance.

I love you.

Please don't go.

I love you, too.

...Sleigh bells ringing

Radio says Santa...

You sent four messages.

The sunglasses,

Santa, the Santa hat,

the sketches...

You sent them for Adam.

Things I wish I could have said

over this last year,

but...

I didn't just send

four messages.

I sent five.

I sent Matthew with the fifth.

Matthew?

You sent Matt...

18, turned my helmet in

I walked

to the 50-yard line

Just the coach and me

After we had lost 18 to nine

And I cried

"Man, next time to get in here

I'll have to buy a ticket

Can't you give me

five more minutes?"

Time goes by

the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops

of the good stuff...

In honor of

their outstanding contributions

to the food bank and Yule Fest,

we present you

with these awards.

Can't you give me

five more minutes?

Can we talk?

Yeah, I was just gonna say

the same thing to you.

Come on.

Jamie released you

from the contract.

What?

He tore it up.

Apparently, he does have

a heart at Christmas.

That's incredible.

I thought so, too.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I'm so glad you did.

Something tells me

that this wouldn't have

happened without you.

I had to make it right.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

So... what did you

want to talk about?

When do you leave for New York?

I don't.

I decided I'm gonna stay.

Watching everyone rally

this past week

made me realize

this is where I wanna be.

This is my community.

This is my home.

I am so glad

you figured that out

before it was too late.

I hope we can stay in touch?

Hollowford is not

close to London,

but what's a few thousand miles

between friends, right?

What if I don't want

to be friends?

Then I would understand.

You, uh...

you're starting

a whole new life.

What if I want to be

more than friends?

What about London?

I've been thinking about it.

About... what?

I like American football.

You do?

And I like Hollowford,

and I like the house

that Brian built

for Adam and me,

and I like you.

Matthew Jamison,

food bank volunteer,

and partner

in Yule House shenanigans,

will you go out

on a date with me?

I thought you'd never...

Ask.

Hey, Adam, come here.

Close your eyes

and put out your hand.

Open up.

I am so sorry it took me so long

to figure out where we belong.

Merry Christmas.

We're staying?

We're staying.

Come here.

Come on, let's go home.
