00:01:22You know

00:01:23Most people use gift bags nowadays

00:01:25They

00:01:25Save a lot of time

00:01:26Where's the heart in that

00:01:28No no

00:01:29A

00:01:30Proper gift should feel more like a mystery

00:01:32Something you open up slowly

00:01:34Bit

00:01:35I bit

00:01:36Your grandpa used to say

00:01:37I could make even the simplest of gifts

00:01:39Feel like

00:01:40Magic

00:01:41Just because of the way I wrapped them

00:01:43Let's be honest

00:01:44The words you wrote on the

00:01:45The tags meant more to him than any gift

00:01:49Grandma

00:01:53It was just a ring Allie

00:01:55The shop needed it more than I did

00:02:43Air

00:02:44Air

00:02:20How many days do I have left?

00:02:22Is that what you've been worrying about, dearest?

00:02:25I-I worry that you've been running this shop for 60 years and it's taken every-

00:02:30everything out of you.

00:02:31Oh, buddy.

00:02:33That's because you think of this-

00:02:35this little shop is just a place.

00:02:38Every tidying of joy-

00:02:40I've ever drawn.

00:02:41Every Christmas season we've spent together and every-

00:02:45every person who walks in that door looking for something unique to send to someone they

00:02:50love.

00:02:50It's all a part of me and I'm a part of it and it's all-

00:02:55all a part of God's greater plan.

00:02:56It's all a part of God's greater plan.

00:03:00It's all a part of God's greater plan.

00:03:02What is your name?

00:03:05I'm a guest.

00:03:06What is your name?

00:03:08Oh my God.

00:03:10Oh my God.

00:03:11And I'm like, can you have your name?

00:03:13How am I?

00:03:15I'm like this guy?

00:03:16No, my God.

00:03:18I love you.

00:03:19Yeah, I love you.

00:03:20How am I?

00:03:21I love you.

00:03:22I love you.

00:03:24How are you?

00:03:25I love you too?

00:03:26Yeah.

00:03:27I love you too.

00:03:28Connectory will be the fastest growing communication app.

00:03:31Well, we are one month out.

00:03:33From launch, and as you know, this is the time most companies bring in a launch strategy team.

00:03:38To oversee the rollout, but we're not going to do that.

00:03:43Instead, I'll be leading the launch myself.

00:03:46No one knows this product.

00:03:48Better than you, Ali.

00:03:53Before we move on, can we just give Nina some appreciation?

00:03:58Because not only is she the best techie in the game, but she somehow manages to make it applicable.

00:04:03It looks like it belongs on a runway.

00:04:08Okay, that's it, everyone.

00:04:09Thank you so much.

00:04:09Have a great, long weekend.

00:04:12And if you see Santa...

00:04:13Ask him for some coffee, because we're going to need it.

00:04:18Hey, Lucas, can I see you in my office, please?

00:04:23Huh?

00:04:33Hey.

00:04:34Hey, come on in.

00:04:35Have a seat.

00:04:38You weren't exactly celebrating in there.

00:04:43Look, I know how much work has gotten into this.

00:04:46I don't want to be the guy...

00:04:48Throwing a wrench into it.

00:04:50Well, you're on the team for a reason.

00:04:51If you see something, say...

00:04:53Allie, you should have hired a launch strategy team.

00:04:58Why?

00:04:59I mean, that's what companies usually do at this stage.

00:05:03I know the company better than anyone, and we've put in the work.

00:05:07The last thing...

00:05:08The last thing we need is someone coming in now, reshaping it.

00:05:11A launch strategist isn't going to tell me...

00:05:13Anything I don't already know.

00:05:15I've been tracking market trends.

00:05:17Startups...

00:05:18Using this exact playbook are seeing big initial spikes.

00:05:23Then crash.

00:05:24The market's oversaturated.

00:05:26The Tech Insider Substack...

00:05:28Dropped an article this morning.

00:05:29Companies following this launch model are flatlining.

00:05:33I just thought you should know.

00:05:35I appreciate your input.

00:05:38I'll take the weekend to think about it,

00:05:40and I'll figure out a way to fix the strategy myself.

00:05:43All right.

00:05:47I'll leave you to it.

00:05:48I'll leave you to it.

00:05:53I'll leave you to it.

00:05:58I'll leave you to it.

00:06:03I thought it was the only one still here.

00:06:05Are you turning the boardroom into Santa's workshop again?

00:06:08Only place I can wrap presents without my little spy sleeping around.

00:06:11What are you working on?

00:06:13What are you working on, hmm?

00:06:16Why 70% of tech launches fail?

00:06:20Well, that's one...

00:06:21That's one way to get into the Christmas spirit.

00:06:22Lucas says our launch strategy won't work.

00:06:25That we're going to be just another app in an overcrowded market.

00:06:29I mean...

00:06:30If I don't find a way to break through the noise, we could crash before this even gets off the ground.

00:06:35Maybe we should take a break over the long weekend.

00:06:39You've been in overdrive for months.

00:06:43Exhaustion doesn't exactly...

00:06:44How do you fuel creativity?

00:06:45Well, trust me.

00:06:46If I could, I would.

00:06:47But I have to drive to Indiana.

00:06:49Indiana this weekend.

00:06:50Indiana?

00:06:51Why?

00:06:52Do you remember how my grandmother Joy...

00:06:54In your shop?

00:06:55Vaguely, yes.

00:06:56Well, we finally have someone interested in buying it, so...

00:06:59I want to get their ASAP to finalize the sale.

00:07:01Oh.

00:07:02How do you know you still have that?

00:07:03Yeah.

00:07:04It was on the market...

00:07:04Nearly two years with zero interest, but thankfully someone is crazy enough to...

00:07:09think that a bespoke Christmas shop is actually worth something.

00:07:14Speaking of, this is probably the tidying shop manager.

00:07:17You know, he and my dad are the only two...

00:07:19people who insist on calling over texting.

00:07:21Except the only difference is I...

00:07:24always answer a call from my dad.

00:07:25Have a good weekend, Allie.

00:07:29Hi, dad.

00:07:30Hi, honey.

00:07:31Hi, honey.

00:07:32Hi.

00:07:33Hi, honey.

00:07:34Hi, honey.

00:07:35Hi, honey.

00:07:36Hi.

00:07:37Hi, honey.

00:07:38I'm sorry.

00:07:39Are you still at work?

00:07:40Uh, second thoughts?

00:07:41No, no, no.

00:07:42I'm actually ha-

00:07:43Shirt?

00:07:44How's Florida?

00:07:45Well, the shirt is courtesy of your uncle.

00:07:48And we're having a blast.

00:07:50I did look in the tickets a little earlier to try and be there.

00:07:53Oh, don't worry about it.

00:07:54Have fun.

00:07:55This offer came in so last minute.

00:07:56I've got everything handled.

00:07:58I just wish I could be there for you.

00:08:03Say goodbye.

00:08:03Take a bite of the shop for me, will ya?

00:08:04Lotta memories.

00:08:05Yeah.

00:08:06Some better than others.

00:08:08Oh, sweetheart.

00:08:09I know that things got really...

00:08:13difficult between you and your grandmother, but she always loved you.

00:08:18Remember, after raising two boys, you were the daughter she never had.

00:08:22I know, I was...

00:08:23Just lucky like that.

00:08:24Yeah.

00:08:25I remember how excited she was when your...

00:08:28Mom and I told her that she could name you, she picked it out in seconds.

00:08:31Like, she'd been waiting for that moment, her whole...

00:08:33life.

00:08:34I've always loved that story.

00:08:35And I loved her.

00:08:36Even though we didn't see her.

00:08:38See eye to eye.

00:08:39She just knew how I felt about the shop, so...

00:08:43Why'd she leave it to me?

00:08:45Maybe she hoped you'd take a second look.

00:08:47See...

00:08:48See it the way she did.

00:08:49Anyway, there's a storm coming towards Bloomington, so...

00:08:53If you're gonna beat it, you need to get on the road.

00:08:56I'll text you when I get there.

00:08:58Drive safe, honey.

00:08:59Okay, bye dad.

00:09:00I love you.

00:09:01I love you too.

00:09:03I love you too.

00:09:06Reports are coming in of a freak...

00:09:08Thunderstorm rolling into the area.

00:09:10Lightning and thunder in December.

00:09:12Now that is a...

00:09:13Christmas twist.

00:09:14You expect it in spring, not when there's snow on the ground.

00:09:18There's a bird.

00:09:21Hold on...

00:09:23Oh...

00:09:24Oh...

00:09:25Oh...

00:09:26Oh...

00:09:27Oh...

00:09:28Oh...

00:09:30Oh...

00:09:31Oh...

00:09:32Oh...

00:09:33Oh...

00:09:34Oh...

00:09:38Oh...

00:09:39Oh...

00:09:40Oh...

00:09:41Oh...

00:09:42Oh...

00:09:43Oh...

00:09:44Oh...

00:09:45Oh...

00:09:46Oh...

00:09:48Oh...

00:09:49Oh...

00:09:50Oh...

00:09:51Oh...

00:09:52Oh...

00:09:53Oh...

00:09:54Oh...

00:09:55One day, I'm going to replace this silly carousel.

00:09:58Oh...

00:09:59Oh...

00:10:00Oh...

00:10:01Oh...

00:10:02Oh...

00:10:03Oh...

00:10:04Oh...

00:10:05Oh...

00:10:08Oh...

00:10:08I'm going to take a look at the top of the top.

00:10:13You

00:10:28Thank you for your generous offer, Fred, but I've decided to decline.

00:10:33I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

00:10:36Sincerely, Joy.

00:10:38You should have taken it, Grandma.

00:10:43Ah, the infamous granddaughter.

00:10:48He returns every phone call with a text.

00:10:50Uh, hi.

00:10:51Wait.

00:10:52You're Bennett?

00:10:53The manager?

00:10:54Technically, illustrator, printer, painter, turn manager.

00:10:58Occasional janitor.

00:11:00It's good to meet you.

00:11:02Finally.

00:11:03Yeah.

00:11:04You're not at all what I was expecting.

00:11:07Really?

00:11:09Huh.

00:11:10How so?

00:11:12Um, I mean, I...

00:11:13I just...

00:11:13I expected someone a lot older.

00:11:17What?

00:11:18Because I work at a semi-outdated Christmas shop.

00:11:21Yeah?

00:11:22And...

00:11:23Honestly, you just seemed kind of old-fashioned.

00:11:25You are exactly the way that I pictured you.

00:11:28Oh, well, that's easy.

00:11:30My grandma had pictures of me in here.

00:11:33No, no.

00:11:33I just mean someone who had let a place go because it didn't make sense to them.

00:11:36Um, you don't even know...

00:11:38That's true, but I grew up in a household filled with people with your exact demeanor.

00:11:44My demeanor?

00:11:44I don't mean to offend you, but, you know, people who are only focused...

00:11:48Focused on the bottom line in life?

00:11:50Okay, I am offended, and I don't just focus on...

00:11:53Focused on the bottom line.

00:11:55This is a business, not a charity, and it hasn't made money in years.

00:11:58And, well, what's one of these tidings going to say that a text or an email can't?

00:12:03Funny you should ask.

00:12:06May you find the courage to...

00:12:08Choose what is right, even when the path is steep and the way uncertain.

00:12:13And, if you don't do the right thing, may those left behind find a way...

00:12:18To piece together the wreckage you caused.

00:12:21It does not say that last part.

00:12:23Yeah, well, it should.

00:12:24Look, I didn't even ask for this place.

00:12:27I grew up watching...

00:12:28I grew up watching it take everything from my grandma.

00:12:30And now, it finally has the chance to be worth something.

00:12:33I have a buyer, and I'm not about to let that slip away.

00:12:38You have a buyer?

00:12:40Well, what do you think Grandma Joy would think if she knew you were trying to sell it right now?

00:12:43I think she'd admit that she doesn't want me to...

00:12:48To make the same mistake that she did.

00:12:50And, that she wishes she would have sold it.

00:12:53To the only investor who ever offered to buy it back when she had the chance.

00:12:58To make the same mistake that she would have sold it back when she would have sold it.

00:13:03To make the same mistake that she would have sold it back when she would have sold it back when she would have sold it.

00:13:08What just happened?

00:13:11I don't know.

00:13:13I think the building got struck by lightning or something.

00:13:18How was it daytime?

00:13:23These are not my designs.

00:13:25These are not my designs.

00:13:28As the world celebrates the Allies' victory, my greatest joy is having you all.

00:13:33Well, no wonder it's not selling.

00:13:37It sounds like it's from...

00:13:38World War II.

00:13:39And, you only charge five cents?

00:13:42No.

00:13:43No?

00:13:44Okay, something weird is going on.

00:13:46Oh, hi there!

00:13:48Welcome to Tardings of Joy.

00:13:49I'll be with you in a jiffy.

00:13:50Just need to put these parcels in the mail truck.

00:13:53Feel free to look around.

00:13:59Who was that?

00:14:00Who was that?

00:14:01Yeah, I don't know.

00:14:02How did you...

00:14:03How did she get in here?

00:14:04Okay, this is weird.

00:14:09I'm sure I locked the back door.

00:14:12No.

00:14:13No.

00:14:14No.

00:14:15This...

00:14:16This can't be happening.

00:14:17What's she...

00:14:18Acting like...

00:14:19She works here?

00:14:24Because I think she does.

00:14:25No, no.

00:14:26I didn't hire her.

00:14:28In fact, I think she might own the place.

00:14:31Bennett, I...

00:14:32I think that was...

00:14:33That was my grandmother.

00:14:34Your grandmother passed away three years ago when she was 98 years old.

00:14:38No.

00:14:39No.

00:14:40No.

00:14:41No, no, no.

00:14:42My grandmother from when she was young.

00:14:43Oh!

00:14:43Wait, look at this place.

00:14:44This...

00:14:45This is not the same store that I walked into.

00:14:4815 minutes ago.

00:14:51What are you saying?

00:14:52I mean...

00:14:53It is the same store.

00:14:54It's just...

00:14:55It's not...

00:14:56The same one that it was 15 minutes ago.

00:14:58It was 15 minutes ago.

00:15:03That's it, man.

00:15:05That's not much work.

00:15:07What are we doing?

00:15:08Bennett.

00:15:12What?

00:15:13December 14th, 1945?

00:15:18...

00:15:22...

00:15:31...

00:15:38...

00:15:43...

00:15:44...

00:16:52quite an unbelievable story actually it's it's pretty funny we're from chicago

00:16:57our outfits are part of the latest trend

00:17:02i think we need more time to look before we decide sure

00:17:07take your time okay

00:17:12look what this isn't just any

00:17:17This is the tiding.

00:17:19Okay, I'm not following.

00:17:22The one my grandmother gave the investor.

00:17:25In 1945, turning down my-

00:17:27Is she gonna offer to buy her shop?

00:17:30That means-

00:17:32That means the offer hasn't happened yet.

00:17:34What exactly are you saying to me?

00:17:37I think I was sent back here to stop her from making the wrong choice.

00:17:42Do you remember what I said before the lightning?

00:17:45Yeah, you said that you're-

00:17:47Grandmother regretted not selling to the investor when she had the opportunity.

00:17:52Right.

00:17:54What was his name?

00:17:56Fred.

00:17:58Yeah, good memory.

00:18:00Yeah, so I think I've been given the opportunity.

00:18:02To help my grandmother make the right choice by accepting Fred's office.

00:18:07To help her.

00:18:09You think you were sent back through time to-

00:18:12What?

00:18:13Rewrite history?

00:18:14No, not rewrite.

00:18:15Just fix.

00:18:17Why do you care so much what your grandmother did back then?

00:18:22Right.

00:18:23What happened to your life?

00:18:24Yeah.

00:18:25Who was допac necesillo-

00:18:28Sorry.

00:18:29Who was that?

00:18:31That was me.

00:18:33It says, what about the plausible thing?

00:18:37No.

00:18:38What is he doing?

00:18:39Here is the nickname of my grandmother.

00:18:41I had she singing of my TV.

00:18:43The Lib Tool has done!

00:18:44How are you?

00:18:45How can he get better?

00:18:49How are they?

00:18:50Yeah.

00:18:51that like like that's supposed to make it okay it's just

00:18:56a reminder to trust his timing he has a bigger plan we're selling

00:19:01your wedding ring to pay the bills trusting that God will work things out

00:19:05I

00:19:06don't think trusting in God means doing nothing

00:19:09it means pretending

00:19:11like things aren't as bad as they are

00:19:16I lost out on that job grandma because I was here I've missed out on so many

00:19:21opportunities I thought you enjoyed working here honey I never

00:19:26asked you to sacrifice yourself for this job then it never would have survived

00:19:31I love him so much and I appreciate all

00:19:36that you've done but God has always sustained this shop not us

00:19:41no we're the ones that have been standing behind the counter every day

00:19:45that

00:19:46balancing the books worrying about the bills not God us

00:19:51I can't do this anymore grandma you deserve more than just getting

00:19:56by I do too it's time to let it go well maybe

00:20:01maybe for you but not for me

00:20:03why

00:20:05why

00:20:06why

00:20:07why

00:20:08why

00:20:09why

00:20:10why

00:20:11why

00:20:12why

00:20:13why

00:20:14why

00:20:15why

00:20:16why

00:20:17why

00:20:18why

00:20:19why

00:20:20why

00:20:21why

00:20:22why

00:20:23why

00:20:24why

00:20:25why

00:20:29why

00:20:30why

00:20:31why

00:20:32why

00:20:33why

00:20:34why

00:20:35why

00:20:11making money. It's about finding purpose.

00:20:16You were once given a life-changing offer by an investor and you turned him down, right?

00:20:21Yeah.

00:20:21Yes. And given the same opportunity, I wouldn't change a thing.

00:20:26Well, if I could go back in time, I'd sell the shop for you. And it's a good-

00:20:31Good thing God didn't give you that decision to make.

00:20:36I couldn't continue to sit back and watch her put blind-

00:20:41faith in God when really it's just a crutch.

00:20:46If she sells now, she could have the future she deserves.

00:20:51What if I don't agree?

00:20:56Then we could end up stuck in 1945 forever.

00:21:01But if I am right, and I was sent back here to change her mind-

00:21:06then the only way for us to get back home is if you accomplish that.

00:21:12No, it's everything. Thank you, Joy.

00:21:13Merry Christmas, Joy.

00:21:16Did you find one you like? Yes, this one.

00:21:20Christmas has felt-

00:21:21different ever since I met you.

00:21:24Well, we can't argue with that one, can we?

00:21:26Well, I'm honored that you've come to my little store to shop for your first Christmas.

00:21:31That'll be five cents.

00:21:32Okay, great.

00:21:33Oh, no, I've got it.

00:21:34I've got it here.

00:21:35Yeah.

00:21:37No.

00:21:37Uh, here.

00:21:41You still carry change?

00:21:44Yeah, benefit of being old-fashioned.

00:21:46Hmm.

00:21:47That's a funny-looking nickel.

00:21:49Is it real?

00:21:50Does this thing still-

00:21:51Oh, I wouldn't do that.

00:21:53I am so sorry.

00:21:54Oh, don't be.

00:21:55It happens all the time.

00:21:56Oh.

00:21:58Let me.

00:21:58Okay.

00:21:59Oh, okay.

00:22:01Don't worry.

00:22:01I've got it.

00:22:05One day-

00:22:06I'm going to replace that silly carousel.

00:22:11You know, I couldn't help but notice you don't have anyone helping around here.

00:22:16Do you afraid I can't afford much of a wage? And besides, no one-

00:22:21in town knows how to run a litter press.

00:22:23I do.

00:22:25You do?

00:22:26Yeah, my, uh, my grandma actually taught me.

00:22:31Well, isn't that something?

00:22:34But-

00:22:35Well, I couldn't possibly ask-

00:22:36you to work for next to nothing.

00:22:38Well, maybe instead of a wage, I could stay in a spare room if-

00:22:41you have one.

00:22:42Well, as a matter of fact, I do.

00:22:44I have a small bedroom downstairs with the-

00:22:46day bed.

00:22:48Are you sure that'll do?

00:22:51I'm positive.

00:22:55I think that's-

00:22:56That's a great idea.

00:22:58Especially since I already have a place to stay in town.

00:23:00Oh, this-

00:23:01is truly an answered prayer.

00:23:03Managing the shop alone has nearly run me off my feet.

00:23:05I haven't even had-

00:23:06time to finish decorating for Christmas.

00:23:08Oh, well then let me help you get started with that right now.

00:23:11That'll be dandy.

00:23:16Oh, well then let me help you get started with that right now.

00:23:20Oh!

00:23:21Look at how you left.

00:23:22Oh, those are interesting garments.

00:23:25I don't-

00:23:26I don't mean to be too forward, but do you have anything a bit less eye-catching to wear?

00:23:31While you work.

00:23:35Um-

00:23:37Unfortunately, these are the only kinds of clothes we have.

00:23:40Don't have a lot of change.

00:23:41left over.

00:23:42Oh, it's no problem at all.

00:23:43I'll take care of it.

00:23:44I volunteer at the Salvation Army store.

00:23:46just down the street.

00:23:47The shop closes for lunch in 10 minutes.

00:23:49Maybe the three of us could pop over and find you-

00:23:51something more fitting.

00:23:54I would love that.

00:23:56I'm not much of a shopper, but I think the two of us-

00:24:01you should go for sure.

00:24:02Give me some time to bond.

00:24:06I think so, too.

00:24:08I think so, too.

00:24:10Nothing like the f-

00:24:11thrill of a good find.

00:24:13It's been a while since I've been shopping.

00:24:15It's kind of nice.

00:24:16You know what?

00:24:17Me neither.

00:24:18Shall we make the most of it, then?

00:24:19Mm-hmm.

00:24:21Too dull.

00:24:25No, no.

00:24:25Too stiff.

00:24:26Too boring.

00:24:29Now you're catching on.

00:24:32Oh, what do we have here?

00:24:34Oh!

00:24:36Now this is something.

00:24:38I usually go for something a little more practical.

00:24:41We were made to be the light of the world, right?

00:24:43No harm in dressing the part.

00:24:46No harm in dressing the part.

00:24:47Oh, it's nice, honey.

00:24:48Cool.

00:24:51I usually don't let anyone do my hair.

00:24:54I figured.

00:24:56You don't like letting people take care of you, do you?

00:24:59Well, I just think when you-

00:25:01leave things up to other people, there's a bigger chance they'll mess it up.

00:25:05And heaven forbid someone-

00:25:06gets it wrong.

00:25:08Sounds rather exhausting having to hold it together yourself all the time.

00:25:11Well, it's better than the alternative.

00:25:16Shall we?

00:25:16Yeah.

00:25:17You don't agree?

00:25:21Since-

00:25:21Since the war, keeping the shop has been a struggle.

00:25:25Sometimes I'm not sure I'll fit-

00:25:26figure it out.

00:25:28The truth is, I-

00:25:29I can't hold it together myself.

00:25:31Well, if it's such a struggle, why don't you sell it?

00:25:36The thought has crossed my mind on harder days.

00:25:41But no.

00:25:43Because even when I can't hold it together, God can.

00:25:46You showing up and offering to work?

00:25:50That was his pro-

00:25:51vision.

00:25:57Have you always been like this?

00:25:59You're still so young and-

00:26:01you just trust that God will take care of everything?

00:26:04Well, I'm far from perfect and I-

00:26:06definitely do have my days of doubt.

00:26:10Well, I guess-

00:26:11I guess it all started when the depression hit.

00:26:14It was a frightening time to be a child.

00:26:16Pantry was nearly empty and my father took any job he could.

00:26:20But it wasn't enough.

00:26:21And then just before Christmas, my parents gave what little we did have to a family who had even-

00:26:26less.

00:26:27They did?

00:26:29And I remember thinking-

00:26:31Well, why couldn't God just provide for both families?

00:26:33Why would he provide for one and not the other?

00:26:36And then Christmas morning came.

00:26:39And sitting on my doorstep was a full-

00:26:41Christmas meal that our church had made.

00:26:43Oh, it was ham, butter, sugar-

00:26:46things I hadn't seen in years.

00:26:49But you know what the best part was?

00:26:51Sitting on top of all of that was a doll that I had wanted for two years.

00:26:56I never dreamed I'd have it.

00:26:58It was in that moment that I realized God always-

00:27:01provides.

00:27:02Even when he takes away, he provides more in return.

00:27:06And so that night, I sat at the table and wrote my first hiding to thank God.

00:27:11Not bad for someone else doing it.

00:27:16Not bad for someone else doing it.

00:27:17I don't know.

00:27:21Not bad for someone else.

00:27:21Not bad at all.

00:27:26Not bad at all.

00:27:31Well, would you look at that.

00:27:32Time has a funny way of slipping by when you're having fun.

00:27:36Hi, Bennett.

00:27:37Hello.

00:27:39Lunch is over and I best get back to the shop.

00:27:42Don't feel like you have to hurry.

00:27:43Oh, I'll be right behind you.

00:27:44And thank you, Joy.

00:27:45This was really nice.

00:27:47Yes, we've been much quieter.

00:27:48Wow, we look great.

00:27:50I didn't...

00:27:51I didn't want you to feel left out.

00:27:52Given your enthusiasm for all things old-fashioned, I figured you'd appreciate it.

00:27:56A little something from 1945.

00:27:58Wow.

00:28:00That was...

00:28:01It's really thoughtful of you.

00:28:02I'm sure you would have done this for you.

00:28:04Well, let's see.

00:28:06Since it looks like you have everything all figured out here with Joy, I'm gonna change

00:28:10and then...

00:28:11scout the town a bit.

00:28:12Scout for what?

00:28:13Maybe I'll ask around and see if I can find someone called...

00:28:16your girlfriend.

00:28:17Well, just...

00:28:18be careful.

00:28:19Okay?

00:28:20Yeah, we will.

00:28:21Don't worry.

00:28:22I won't wander too far.

00:28:23Unless, of course, someone mistakes me for Cary Grant and begs me to...

00:28:26start in one of their movies.

00:28:27Well, good luck with your big Hollywood dream.

00:28:31Well, good luck derailing your grandmother's dream.

00:28:36It takes part to get up!

00:28:37I got to say, okay, how I'm gonna do it.

00:28:38I'm gonna keep going.

00:28:39I'm gonna go.

00:28:40Okay?

00:28:41Good luck.

00:28:42Good luck.

00:28:43I'm gonna do it!

00:28:44I'm gonna do it!

00:28:45I'm gonna do it!

00:28:46Okay?

00:28:47Alright, come on.

00:28:48Since I'm in a bit of adventure, I'm gonna leave.

00:28:49I'm gonna go.

00:28:50Yep.

00:28:51Bye.

00:28:53Bye!

00:28:54Bye!

00:28:55Bye!

00:28:56Bye!

00:28:57Bye!

00:28:58Bye!

00:28:59Bye!

00:29:00Bye!

00:29:01Bye!

00:29:02Bye!

00:29:03Bye!

00:29:04Bye!

00:29:05Bye!

00:28:41First things first, a tidying should meet a person where they're...

00:28:46The right words at the right time.

00:28:49Exactly what I was going to say.

00:28:51But before the message, you have to find the right picture.

00:28:54An image speaks volumes.

00:28:56Before anything is ever read, you're already saying something.

00:28:59Love, care, celebration.

00:29:02Joy, you are so gifted.

00:29:04You could really expand your talent.

00:29:07How do you mean?

00:29:08Well, marketing is my specialty.

00:29:10I could have...

00:29:11To help you find ways to share your art and your way with words.

00:29:14To make a real living off of it.

00:29:16You could even travel with it to see the world.

00:29:20Well, I appreciate it.

00:29:21Your offer.

00:29:22Truly.

00:29:23But...

00:29:24I love my little post.

00:29:25It's more than enough.

00:29:26For me.

00:29:27Do you see Matthew over there?

00:29:29He goes to my church.

00:29:31When I asked if he needed help, he seemed a little jumpy.

00:29:34My guess?

00:29:35He's about to propose to a sweet...

00:29:36Sweetheart.

00:29:37He oftentimes has trouble finding the right words, so we need a...

00:29:41To find a message that will say it perfectly.

00:29:43That explains why he's been here so long.

00:29:47He doesn't know this, but...

00:29:48When he was fighting in the war, I helped his girl make personal ties...

00:29:51To find him.

00:29:52So, in a way, I feel I played a small part in their love story.

00:29:56Watch this.

00:30:01He's coming.

00:30:02I knew he'd come to the guilty man.

00:30:03Tell him, I can give his boy a little bit.

00:30:04I'm not Sorry.

00:30:05I'm not sure.

00:30:06I'm not sure.

00:30:07I'm a psychologist.

00:30:08I'm not sure.

00:30:09I'm not sure.

00:30:10You're a real journalist.

00:30:11You know, you were probably shit.

00:30:12You're a pretty common man.

00:30:13You're an idiot.

00:30:14You're a guy.

00:30:15Not sure.

00:30:16You're a guy.

00:30:17You're an idiot.

00:30:18You're a guy.

00:30:19You're a former man.

00:30:20You're a guy.

00:30:21You're a villain.

00:30:22You're a vaguely.

00:30:24You're a little guy.

00:30:25You're a guy.

00:30:26You're a guy.

00:30:27You're a guy.

00:30:28You're a guy.

00:30:29I'm a guy.

00:30:30for the moment I see a person's face light up,

00:30:32even for just a second,

00:30:34knowing that I made a difference.

00:30:35Are you ready to check out, Matthew?

00:30:40Indeed.

00:31:41You know, growing up, I watched my grandmother sacrifice over...

00:31:46and, well, it just hurt my heart.

00:31:51Knowing how much she gave and could still barely get by.

00:31:56Well, I know the feeling.

00:31:58I watched as my brother was first in town to enlist when we went...

00:32:01to war and gave up everything for the cause.

00:32:06Your brother?

00:32:07I don't talk about him much.

00:32:10Didn't seem...

00:32:11It was unfair.

00:32:12Especially because he had his...

00:32:14his whole life ahead of him.

00:32:16Watching that kind of sacrifice, it...

00:32:22It changes you.

00:32:24It does.

00:32:25It makes you see...

00:32:26things differently.

00:32:28Especially money.

00:32:31You know, I...

00:32:33I know you don't think money's the point, but...

00:32:36in business it is.

00:32:38Oh, it's not that I'm against making money.

00:32:42But...

00:32:43when my brother shipped out...

00:32:44he left me everything he'd saved.

00:32:46He said money doesn't follow us when we go, so...

00:32:49if he didn't make it back...

00:32:50I should...

00:32:51I should use it to create something that would...

00:32:53stand the test of time.

00:32:57Oh, so you opened this shop.

00:33:00So I...

00:33:01started writing tidings of...

00:33:02comfort and joy.

00:33:04And I'd like to think I infused...

00:33:06everyone with a bit of his love and...

00:33:07legacy.

00:33:11Yeah.

00:33:12Yeah.

00:33:13Yeah.

00:33:14Yeah.

00:33:15Yeah.

00:33:16Yeah.

00:33:18Yeah.

00:33:19Yeah.

00:33:20Yeah.

00:33:21Yeah.

00:33:22Yeah.

00:33:23Yeah.

00:33:24Yeah.

00:33:25Yeah.

00:33:26Yeah.

00:33:27Yeah.

00:33:28Yeah.

00:33:29Yeah.

00:33:31Yeah.

00:33:31What are you doing?

00:33:33Oh, I'm making a coloring book.

00:33:36Must be miserable not being able to play with the other children.

00:33:41Hopefully a Christmas gift will cheer him up.

00:33:46That's a week's worth of work. You're just... giving away.

00:33:50I...

00:33:51I can always make more.

00:33:56I can't wait.

00:33:57I can't wait.

00:33:58I can't wait.

00:33:59I can't wait.

00:34:00I can't wait.

00:34:01I can't wait.

00:34:02I can't wait.

00:34:03I can't wait.

00:34:04I can't wait.

00:34:05I can't wait.

00:34:06I can't wait.

00:34:07I can't wait.

00:34:08I can't wait.

00:34:09I can't wait.

00:34:10I can't wait.

00:34:11I can't wait.

00:34:12I can't wait.

00:34:13I can't wait.

00:34:14I can't wait.

00:34:15I can't wait.

00:34:16I can't wait.

00:34:17I can't wait.

00:34:18I can't wait.

00:34:19I can't wait.

00:34:20I can't wait.

00:34:21I can't wait.

00:34:22I can't wait.

00:34:23I can't wait.

00:34:24I'm sitting here.

00:34:25Oh, there's a little thing.

00:34:29You

00:34:34Well give me an hour fellas

00:34:37By the time I'm back

00:34:39The shop will be settled

00:34:44I'll see you down the road

00:34:46I'll see you down the road

00:34:48You

00:34:59Joy, what is this ledger for?

00:35:05Oh, it's a list of the free tidings of comfort and joy that I send.

00:35:09Free?

00:35:09Well, to the soldiers, their wives, and of course...

00:35:14Any widows?

00:35:15After what they've been through, it's the least I could do.

00:35:17I don't know.

00:35:18I don't know.

00:35:19Well, you know you're never going to get ahead if you keep giving things away all the time.

00:35:24That's how the world wants us to think.

00:35:27That's not how God works.

00:35:29He sees me.

00:35:31He knows what I need even when I don't.

00:35:33He's given me everything necessary to open the shop and what's needed to keep it going.

00:35:38I want all these men and women to know that God sees them too.

00:35:42He knows what I want.

00:35:45He knows what I want.

00:35:47He knows what I want.

00:35:47We have a customer.

00:35:52ollut

00:36:22town, Mr. Whitmore. Well, thank you. And please, call me Fred.

00:36:27I wanted to stop by in person because, well, you haven't responded to any of our letters.

00:36:32Well, that's because I have no interest in a Whitmore-sized business swallowing up what

00:36:36I've built here.

00:36:37Hmm. Well, I think you misunderstand, Joy. My family...

00:36:42...specializes in helping local shop owners like yourself make a smooth...

00:36:47...transition and thrive.

00:36:50I think you're misunderstanding me.

00:36:52Mr. Whitmore. What I've built here is thriving. Perhaps not by your standards, but...

00:36:57It is by mine.

00:36:59It's no small feat surviving the last four...

00:37:02...for four years. Shops like yours will face challenges like never before.

00:37:06Many won't...

00:37:07...make it through. The change is ahead.

00:37:09Let us take the burden from your hands.

00:37:12And make sure what you've built lasts for years to come.

00:37:17You make a compelling argument, Mr. Whitmore.

00:37:22But respectfully, my answer is no.

00:37:27Huh.

00:37:32Well, she...

00:37:37Should you reconsider, my office address is on the card.

00:37:42Have a good day, Mr. Whitmore.

00:37:44You too.

00:37:47You too.

00:37:48You too.

00:37:49You too.

00:37:50You too.

00:37:51You too.

00:37:52Yeah.

00:37:52Joy, don't you think it's worth at least...

00:37:57...caring him out?

00:37:58Well, I have no need.

00:37:59I've seen what the way more family has done to shops around town.

00:38:02They don't care about the customer.

00:38:03They don't care about the customer.

00:38:04They only care about profit.

00:38:05But Fred's offer could change...

00:38:07...everything for you.

00:38:08Well, how do you know what Fred's offering?

00:38:10Do you know...

00:38:12Do you know him?

00:38:13Uh, no.

00:38:14No.

00:38:15Not personally.

00:38:16I've just heard his name.

00:38:17Before.

00:38:18Well, from Chicago?

00:38:19He has a reputation for giving fair...

00:38:22...their deals.

00:38:23Life-changing ones.

00:38:24I want his money, Ally.

00:38:27But Fred said that Tidings of Joy is in danger.

00:38:30And if he can guarantee that it keeps...

00:38:32...making an impact, well, you could take the money...

00:38:34...and pay off your bills.

00:38:37I think this is a sign.

00:38:39You know, Fred coming in here today...

00:38:41...right after you...

00:38:42...well, Fred said...

00:38:43...God knows what you need...

00:38:45...even when you don't.

00:38:47Fine.

00:38:48I'll hear him out.

00:38:49Fine.

00:38:50I'll hear him out.

00:38:51But not...

00:38:52...at some fancy office.

00:38:53If he wants to meet, it'll be tomorrow at 8am...

00:38:55...at the diner, where I have breakfast...

00:38:57...every morning.

00:38:59Mr. Whitmore!

00:39:03And what he's doing....

00:39:04Let's do...

00:39:05Even more

00:39:07I can't tell you two how much I appreciate the help.

00:39:10Glad to be of service.

00:39:12Now, if you eat all the popcorn, there won't be any left for the tree.

00:39:16Perhaps there's because...

00:39:17there's no string left.

00:39:18I'll go grab some more.

00:39:21I still...

00:39:22I still can't believe she's meeting with him tomorrow.

00:39:25Yeah, she obviously...

00:39:27I trust you, so the bond that you two share must transcend time.

00:39:32I just hope that she trusts Fred.

00:39:34Yeah, I wouldn't...

00:39:36What if she doesn't?

00:39:37My grandmother is a stubborn woman, and it's not just her future that's at stake.

00:39:41This is our ticket.

00:39:42Maybe I should...

00:39:45What?

00:39:48I can't believe you just threw popcorn at me.

00:39:51How about now?

00:39:53What's your problem?

00:39:56I need to get out of here.

00:39:57in the middle of your head.

00:39:58Let tomorrow worry about itself.

00:40:00You've done everything you can for today.

00:40:01I...

00:40:02You get this chance to decorate with your grandma for Christmas again.

00:40:07You could enjoy it.

00:40:08You're right.

00:40:12You're right.

00:40:13I am right.

00:40:16Well, I hope that tree...

00:40:17I don't know where's the popcorn as well as you do, Ellie.

00:40:19I don't know where's the popcorn as well as you do, Ellie.

00:40:20I don't know where you are, Ellie.

00:40:21I don't know where you are.

00:40:22I love the air.

00:40:27Perfect.

00:40:30It's amazing what a little Christmas cheer.

00:40:32It's funny, isn't it?

00:40:34We're always rushing around, and then suddenly you add some decoration.

00:40:37And then everything feels right.

00:40:38I'll go wash up.

00:40:41Wow.

00:40:42Cookie?

00:40:43Yes, please.

00:40:48Ah.

00:40:51You know...

00:40:52I just realized we've been through a pretty significant life event together.

00:40:56Hmm.

00:40:57Time travel?

00:40:58Yeah.

00:40:59Time travel.

00:41:00And I still don't know...

00:41:02I don't know a single thing about you.

00:41:05Oh, well, I could say the same thing.

00:41:06I don't know...

00:41:07I don't know anything about you either.

00:41:09It's true.

00:41:10All right.

00:41:11I'll go first.

00:41:12What would you like to know?

00:41:12Why does it bother you so much that I want to sell the shop?

00:41:17I just have this thing about people taking something pure and turning it into something...

00:41:22It was never meant to be.

00:41:24Sounds personal.

00:41:27Yeah.

00:41:28Growing up in my family, Christmas was all about appearance.

00:41:33Fancy parties.

00:41:34Tuxedos that I hated.

00:41:35Piles of gifts that nobody...

00:41:37Everybody needed.

00:41:38And of course, I'd go to school.

00:41:40There'd be this kid...

00:41:42That got one gift and he was happier.

00:41:45His family had tradition.

00:41:47And real moments of connecting.

00:41:49Christmas for them wasn't just about...

00:41:52showing off how profitable your year had just been.

00:41:56I'm sorry.

00:41:57Those...

00:41:57Those are your memories.

00:41:58Don't be.

00:41:59Taught me to be different.

00:42:00Instead of doing f***ing.

00:42:02Finance.

00:42:03And what my parents wanted.

00:42:05I do what I love.

00:42:06Illustration.

00:42:07Your whole old-fashioned persona makes a whole lot more sense now.

00:42:11I bet you think...

00:42:12I'm one of those guys who drinks tea out of a tin cup and calls dinner supper.

00:42:16Aren't you?

00:42:18Oh, yeah.

00:42:19Yeah, I guess I am.

00:42:21I just think...

00:42:22That when people can go back and decorate and do things together like string...

00:42:27Popcorn, that...

00:42:28It connects us to our past and it helps us to enjoy the present moment.

00:42:32Even more.

00:42:33Even more.

00:42:37Here.

00:42:38Yeah.

00:42:40Yeah.

00:42:41Yeah.

00:42:42Yeah.

00:42:42Bennett, that is really beautiful.

00:42:47Well, I say you've done plenty for your first day, Allie.

00:42:50And thank you kindly for your help, Bennett.

00:42:53Why don't the two of you enjoy the evening?

00:42:55It's lovely out.

00:43:00Well, if you're a CEO...

00:43:02Why do you need to figure out every detail

00:43:04of the launch strategy by yourself?

00:43:06Well...

00:43:07Because if I don't and something goes wrong, it's on me.

00:43:13Interesting.

00:43:15What?

00:43:16I just find it fascinating.

00:43:17Somebody who spent their entire career helping people connect

00:43:20finds it so difficult to receive help.

00:43:23Well, I built the company from the ground.

00:43:26I convinced...

00:43:27It's investors.

00:43:28I hired a team.

00:43:29They left stable jobs to take a...

00:43:32a chance on this, so...

00:43:34If the startup fails, it's...

00:43:35It's not just me who loses it.

00:43:37It's them.

00:43:38Their livelihoods.

00:43:39Their families.

00:43:41I just don't...

00:43:42trust...

00:43:43anyone else enough to...

00:43:45care about the launch as much as I do.

00:43:47Right?

00:43:48I get it.

00:43:49That can be...

00:43:50scary.

00:43:51I just want to take the right risks.

00:43:52Right.

00:43:53Unlike your grandmother.

00:43:54Yeah.

00:43:55Ali, you know, you don't need to carry the weight...

00:43:57of everybody else's struggles just because...

00:43:59you couldn't take hers away.

00:44:01It's people...

00:44:02who work...

00:44:03at your company.

00:44:04That's not something happening to them.

00:44:07They chose it.

00:44:08Just like you did.

00:44:12I don't know about you, but time traveling is exhausting.

00:44:15Gonna go get some sleep.

00:44:17Oh, you never told me where you were staying.

00:44:19Yeah, I found this, uh, empty apartment.

00:44:22Don't worry.

00:44:23Us old-fashioned guys know how to defend ourselves.

00:44:25See ya.

00:44:27Bye, Bennett.

00:44:28Goodnight.

00:44:32Bye, Bennett.

00:44:37Bye, Bennett.

00:44:38Bye, Bennett.

00:44:39Bye, Bennett.

00:44:40Bye, Bennett.

00:44:41Bye.

00:44:42Bye, Bennett.

00:44:47Bye, Bennett.

00:44:48Bye, Bennett.

00:44:49Today's the day.

00:44:52Bye, Bennett.

00:44:53Bye, Bennett.

00:44:54Bye.

00:44:57Bye, Bennett.

00:45:02Bye, Bennett.

00:45:03Bye, Bennett.

00:45:04Bye.

00:45:07Bye, Bennett.

00:45:08Bye, Bennett.

00:45:12Bye, Bennett.

00:45:13Bye, Bennett.

00:45:14Bye, Bennett.

00:45:15Bye, Bennett.

00:45:17Bye, Bennett.

00:45:18Bye, Bennett.

00:45:19Bye, Bennett.

00:45:22Bye, Bennett.

00:45:23Bye, Bennett.

00:45:24Bye, Bennett.

00:45:25Bye, Bennett.

00:45:27Bye, Bennett.

00:45:28Bye, Bennett.

00:45:30Bye, Bennett.

00:45:31Bye, Bennett.

00:45:32Bye, Bennett.

00:45:33Bye, Bennett.

00:45:34Bye, Bennett.

00:45:35Bye, Bennett.

00:45:37I think I'm just nervous.

00:45:39You can still switch if you want.

00:45:40No, no, no.

00:45:41I don't want Joy to...

00:45:42I need this meeting to go well.

00:45:44Why didn't she invite you along for moral support?

00:45:47Oh, you invited yourself, didn't you?

00:45:53I couldn't help it.

00:45:54But she was very happy I offered.

00:45:57Wow.

00:45:58So what's happening?

00:46:01Uh...

00:46:02He's schmoozing and she's smiling.

00:46:04She's smiling.

00:46:05Mm-hmm.

00:46:06That's good.

00:46:07What about now?

00:46:12Oh, we should probably order.

00:46:14Oh, don't worry.

00:46:15I know you don't have a lot of...

00:46:17There's no change left.

00:46:20Welcome to the Swizzle and Fizz.

00:46:22William.

00:46:22What do you have?

00:46:23I'll have whatever the Christmas special is.

00:46:26Today's is the Merry...

00:46:27the Merry Maple Muffin.

00:46:28Oh, yeah.

00:46:28We'll do two of those.

00:46:30And that'll be all.

00:46:31Okay.

00:46:37She's laughing now.

00:46:40Oh, okay.

00:46:41If she starts...

00:46:42playing with her necklace,

00:46:43it's a telltale sign.

00:46:44She's retreating,

00:46:45so look out for that.

00:46:46Because then...

00:46:47we might have to intervene.

00:46:52Yeah.

00:46:55Uh-oh.

00:46:57What?

00:46:57She's playing with her necklace.

00:46:59What?

00:47:02Would like to get better off?

00:47:05Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh.

00:47:07You. You're not really a big fan of trusting the process, are you?

00:47:11No.

00:47:12That is my grandmother's specialty, not mine.

00:47:15You know, you're actually more-

00:47:17You're more like than you think.

00:47:18What makes you say that?

00:47:20I mean, for starters, you're in tech.

00:47:22Right? She's in retail, but both of you help people stay more connected.

00:47:26Oh.

00:47:27I guess I never thought about it like that.

00:47:30I see now how much you care.

00:47:32About your grandmother having a better life.

00:47:34And the way that you talk about people who work for-

00:47:37For you, it is obvious how much you care about them.

00:47:41Like, you want to make a-

00:47:42Real difference and help people.

00:47:46That's exactly what you-

00:47:47Your grandmother did.

00:47:50For what?

00:47:52For seeing the heart behind my methods.

00:47:57Oh, you already thanked me again.

00:48:01What?

00:48:02Why?

00:48:03Come with me.

00:48:05Grab the muffins.

00:48:06Oh.

00:48:07Oh.

00:48:08Oh.

00:48:09Oh.

00:48:10Oh.

00:48:11Oh.

00:48:12Well, I must say Fred, this morning has been most unexpected.

00:48:16Ah, yeah.

00:48:17I'm so hungry.

00:48:17I didn't do the show, but I'm glad I did.

00:48:20We're going to know this.

00:48:22They're not noticing.

00:48:25You've completely brightened and otherwise done.

00:48:27All morning.

00:48:28So, Joy, do I dare hope for the answer?

00:48:31I've been-

00:48:32Waiting for?

00:48:36Well.

00:48:37I suppose a girl would be silly to say no.

00:48:40So, is that a yes?

00:48:42Yes.

00:48:44I would be delighted to be your date for Christmas Snow Dance.

00:48:47Oh, dear.

00:48:48Oh, dear.

00:48:49Oh.

00:48:50Oh.

00:48:51Oh.

00:48:57business consider the offer tabled until you decide

00:49:02either way

00:49:04no hard feelings

00:49:07wait a minute

00:49:12uh-oh

00:49:17who is he

00:49:22that's my grandfather

00:49:27uh-oh

00:49:32and i'll have my driver pick you up

00:49:37uh-oh

00:49:42Oh, my God.

00:49:47Oh, this must be that Christmas.

00:49:52You're going to need a little more information.

00:49:54This is the Christmas that my grandfather came home from fighting.

00:49:57Oh, I wish I paid closer attention to the...

00:50:02...details of my grandparents' love story.

00:50:04Okay, I remember that my grandma...

00:50:07...had said he shared a kiss that changed everything at Christmas time.

00:50:12And that it was a magical moment, like they were in a snow globe and...

00:50:16...and there was something about dancing.

00:50:21Oh, my God.

00:50:25Oh.

00:50:26Oh.

00:50:27Oh.

00:50:28Oh.

00:50:32Oh.

00:50:33Grandmother goes to the dance with Fred.

00:50:35She's not gonna kiss my grandfather.

00:50:38Which means they won't fall in love, which means...

00:50:43I...

00:50:48Won't exist.

00:50:52Oh, please tell me you saw which way he...

00:50:53Went.

00:50:56He's going.

00:51:02Ah, that way.

00:51:03Okay, quick question.

00:51:05What exactly is the plan here?

00:51:07Oh, simple.

00:51:08We tell him to kick Fred to the curb.

00:51:10Dance with joy.

00:51:11The Christmas snow dance.

00:51:13The magical night.

00:51:14Kiss her in what feels like a snow globe moment.

00:51:16So they can fall in love, have...

00:51:18My father.

00:51:19Eventually I'll be born.

00:51:20And then I can travel back in time to convince her to sell the shop.

00:51:24Okay, so no plan then.

00:51:25Right.

00:51:26I saw the look in my grandmother's eye.

00:51:28Nice.

00:51:29She could end up burying Fred.

00:51:31My entire existence.

00:51:33Depends upon the next five minutes.

00:51:36No pressure.

00:51:38Hear that?

00:51:41See that?

00:51:43Oh, my God.

00:51:45Love...

00:51:48familiar?

00:51:51You...

00:51:57How long are you still in front of me?

00:52:01Thank you, sir.

00:52:03Uh, how's the family?

00:52:05Oh, they keep me on my...

00:52:06What about those?

00:52:08My youngest is fixing to get married,

00:52:10so it's been a whirlwind planning the wedding.

00:52:11Well, congratulations.

00:52:13Hang tight a minute.

00:52:15Let me grab your mail.

00:52:16I'll be right with you, too.

00:52:18Take your time. We're just browsing.

00:52:21Get inside.

00:52:23Let's go back to the house.

00:52:25Let's go back, let's go back.

00:52:27Let's go back to the house.

00:52:29Now I'm going back to the house.

00:52:31We're not going to have to doğr.

00:52:33We'll throw on our wife.

00:52:35There's no idea.

00:52:37We're going to have to need to move on our wife's wife.

00:52:39Let's go back to the house.

00:52:41We'll talk about the house.

00:52:43There's no idea.

00:52:45That's how the house is.

00:52:47I, uh, saw her today with some fellas.

00:52:52Looked pretty sharp and fancy suit.

00:52:55Oh, you talk about Fred Whitmer.

00:52:58He's been sniffing around her shop lately.

00:53:00Came in just this morning to buy...

00:53:02...two tickets to the Christmas snow dance.

00:53:07So what's next for you now that you're home?

00:53:13Something about re-enlisting.

00:53:15But he didn't re-enlist.

00:53:17It just didn't happen.

00:53:19Looks like that might be changing.

00:53:22But you just got back, son.

00:53:24Still plenty of work to be done overseas.

00:53:26Rebuilding.

00:53:27Helping put things back together.

00:53:29Making sure it doesn't all fall apart again.

00:53:32Are you sure this isn't about something or someone else?

00:53:37I just don't think there's anything left here for me anymore.

00:53:42I gotta let my commanding officer know by tomorrow.

00:53:44If I do re-enlist, promise to say goodbye before I...

00:53:47...go.

00:53:50We miss...

00:53:52you around here while you were gone George and I reckon we'll miss you again

00:53:57if you leave I think the world kept turning just fine without me

00:54:02you

00:54:07You cannot let your grandfather reenlist if he doesn't.

00:54:12Who knows how long he's gonna be gone for.

00:54:14I know, I know, but I have to get him to that dance.

00:54:17We also need tickets for us.

00:54:20We have to make sure this kiss actually happened.

00:54:22Yeah, but they're $5, we don't have any cash.

00:54:24Yeah, actually we do.

00:54:27Hi.

00:54:28Three tickets to the dance, please.

00:54:30Hi.

00:54:32Hey.

00:54:33There you are.

00:54:34Thank you so much for your change.

00:54:38Have fun, Kate.

00:54:40You're welcome.

00:54:42Where did you get the money?

00:54:46When my great-grand-

00:54:47When my parents first moved to town, the first thing they did,

00:54:49they bought this upscale apartment building.

00:54:51The family lived-

00:54:52They lived on the top floor and they rented out the rest of the building.

00:54:55Now on the ground floor, there was this apartment.

00:54:57that we kept for guests and was furnished.

00:54:59There's this trick window around the back.

00:55:02It just never really closes properly.

00:55:04Okay.

00:55:05And so as a kid, I used to-

00:55:07I used to sneak in there all the time.

00:55:08It was my favorite place to draw, to paint.

00:55:12So that's where I slept last night.

00:55:14And this morning when I was put in the apartment-

00:55:17back, I found two tins under some linen in the cabinet.

00:55:20Yeah.

00:55:21That's amazing.

00:55:22Yeah.

00:55:23Wait, your family lives here?

00:55:25Why didn't you talk-

00:55:26Why didn't you talk-

00:55:27Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

00:55:31Because, um-

00:55:32My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.

00:55:35My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.

00:55:36My grandfather is Fred Whitmore.

00:55:37What?

00:55:38So you're not the only one who's not going to exist-

00:55:42if we don't fix this.

00:55:43And you didn't think this was important enough to tell me before?

00:55:47I wanted to.

00:55:48I hate being associated with them.

00:55:52The minute somebody finds out I'm a Whitmore, it's all they see.

00:55:57I understand that.

00:55:58I-

00:55:59Now it all makes-

00:56:02It makes sense.

00:56:03The tuxes, the piles of Christmas presents-

00:56:07the-

00:56:08the family and finance obsessed with profits.

00:56:11Yes.

00:56:12I'm so sorry.

00:56:13I justified not telling you because I didn't think-

00:56:17it was something that you needed to know.

00:56:19My grandfather died when I was a kid and I only knew-

00:56:22I love him.

00:56:23I'm-

00:56:24I'm-

00:56:25really sorry.

00:56:28From now on, no more secrets.

00:56:30Deal?

00:56:33Deal.

00:56:36Bennett, we-

00:56:37we have to fix this.

00:56:38Okay.

00:56:39I'll take care of George.

00:56:41You had-

00:56:42go back and see if you can't convince George that she's back in the wrong horse.

00:56:45Okay.

00:56:46Okay.

00:56:47I'll take care of George.

00:56:48Bye.

00:56:49Bye.

00:56:50Bye.

00:56:51Bye.

00:56:52Bye.

00:56:53Bye.

00:56:54Excuse me, staff sergeant, can I give you a hand-

00:56:57with that?

00:56:58Oh, sure.

00:56:59Appreciate it.

00:57:00Yeah, it's-

00:57:02kind of you to do this.

00:57:03Well, somebody's got to.

00:57:06Might as well be-

00:57:07Right.

00:57:08Uh, name's George, by the way.

00:57:11I-I'm Bennett.

00:57:12It's good to meet you.

00:57:13Listen, the real reason I came over here is-

00:57:17I saw what happened at the diner.

00:57:19With Joy.

00:57:20Oh.

00:57:22Was not that obvious?

00:57:23Oh, let's just say, everyone's rooting for the two of you to get together.

00:57:27They are?

00:57:28Yeah.

00:57:29You kidding me?

00:57:30You guys are destined for the altar.

00:57:31Oh.

00:57:32What?

00:57:33Well, I guess it's no surprise I've been sweet on her since high school.

00:57:37With his-

00:57:37Must have been to the point I could barely stream together a sentence when I was around

00:57:40her.

00:57:41But-

00:57:42She doesn't-

00:57:42She doesn't see me like that.

00:57:43Not yet.

00:57:44But trust me, George.

00:57:45She will.

00:57:46See my girl work-

00:57:47She works with Joy.

00:57:48And between you and me, that guy Fred, not the guy for her.

00:57:52Well, Fred's got everything going for him.

00:57:54Yeah.

00:57:55Fancy suits.

00:57:56So-

00:57:57She's got success the whole nine yards.

00:57:59And she said yes to dance with him.

00:58:01And she said yes to dance with him.

00:58:02So-

00:58:03You just got home from fighting in a world war.

00:58:06Risked your life-

00:58:07Every single day for something greater than yourself.

00:58:10And you're gonna stand there-

00:58:12And tell me-

00:58:13That all it takes is some guy running around in a fancy suit to back you down?

00:58:17Well, you put it like that-

00:58:22You go to that dance.

00:58:25Get her back.

00:58:27But...

00:58:28So-

00:58:29That's was a good thing-

00:58:30It's good to keep Jesused.

00:58:31사용 for something-

00:58:33If you have any questions, please.

00:58:34Help!

00:58:35Give us a phone-

00:58:36Chocolate, he said it next.

00:58:37It-

00:58:38Talk about it.

00:58:39Chef получится.

00:58:40Chef-

00:58:42It's a free interview.

00:58:45engineering.

00:58:47Chef-

00:58:48My...

00:58:49Chef Zheng-

00:58:51açık ahead.

00:58:52Brothers Company Ov-

00:58:54B происходит

00:58:54There it is a process before

00:58:56Eleemahi aztica

00:58:57But is charm early enough?

00:59:00Well, I suppose not, but...

00:59:02I'm excited to get to know him better at the dance.

00:59:04Maybe if it goes well, he'll court me.

00:59:07Oh, I...

00:59:07I don't think that's a good idea.

00:59:09Why not?

00:59:10That sure is a change of tune from yesterday.

00:59:12You were singing his praises.

00:59:14Well, I said that he's a great guy.

00:59:16I...

00:59:16I didn't mean...

00:59:17And that he's the guy for you.

00:59:19Why wouldn't he be?

00:59:22I get the sense that you want the kind of love that you write about in your tidings.

00:59:27You know, the kind that doesn't burn bright then fade, but one that lasts.

00:59:32And sometimes that kind of love is found with someone you least expect.

00:59:37Well, that's exactly it.

00:59:39My conversation with Fred was so unexpected.

00:59:42I misjudged him at the shop, and I shouldn't have done that.

00:59:46Who knows?

00:59:47Maybe we could have that kind of love.

00:59:49Only time will tell.

00:59:52But Joy, don't you think that mixing business and romance is risky?

00:59:57You know, if things don't work out, it could complicate everything, and...

01:00:01Well, I think you...

01:00:02You should take his offer and just walk away before it gets messy.

01:00:06Who was that?

01:00:07What you worried about?

01:00:08Oh, Allie, I won't muddle the two.

01:00:10No matter what happens between...

01:00:12Me and Fred personally, the shop will be a private matter.

01:00:16Oh.

01:00:17Someone's at the door.

01:00:19Hello.

01:00:20The shop's closed, but can I help you?

01:00:22Are you Joy?

01:00:24I am.

01:00:25Is everything all right?

01:00:27Yes.

01:00:27I don't want to keep you.

01:00:30I just want to thank you.

01:00:32We've never met, but my name is Opal, and this is the tidying.

01:00:37You sent me after my husband passed in the war.

01:00:41Your words...

01:00:42Your words were a lifeline in my darkest hour.

01:00:45I thought I couldn't go on.

01:00:47And I know I'm not the only one, there are plenty of military wives around here who would say the same.

01:00:52When the way forward isn't clear, God has...

01:00:57There's a way of sending us just what we need.

01:01:02I know I'm not the only one, there are plenty of military wives around here who would say the same.

01:01:03I don't know.

01:01:04I don't know.

01:01:05I don't know.

01:01:06I don't know.

01:01:07Oh

01:01:12Oh

01:01:17Oh

01:01:22Where is he?

01:01:27Oh

01:01:32He's in his cocks

01:01:34Just another reminder that he's in his cocks

01:01:37Just another reminder that he's in his cocks

01:01:37I can give her the kind of life I'm still struggling to build

01:01:39Yeah but you can give her something

01:01:42And that he can't

01:01:44Your heart

01:01:46Look at her

01:01:47She's having the time of her life

01:01:49She's having the time of her life because she's dancing

01:01:52Not because she's with Fred

01:01:53Now you go

01:01:57Get out there

01:01:57It's now a bad time to tell you have two left feet

01:02:00What?

01:02:02I'm not a good dancer

01:02:03If I go out there I'll make a fool out of myself compared to someone like Fred

01:02:06You're

01:02:07You're in uniform

01:02:08How can you embarrass yourself?

01:02:11Hang tight

01:02:12I'll be right back

01:02:17Well in the words of Cary Grant himself

01:02:22Gee you are the most beautiful girl in the room

01:02:24Well you polish up pretty nicely

01:02:27I'll be right back

01:02:28Thank you

01:02:31Almost got cold feet

01:02:32Oh well that's okay at least he's here

01:02:34Why is he just standing there?

01:02:37I think you need some courage

01:02:39Come with me

01:02:40Thank you

01:02:42Thank you

01:02:43Thank you

01:02:44Thank you

01:04:17Bennett!

01:04:19I think he's gone.

01:04:22Oh, this is all my fault.

01:04:27All I ever wanted was for my grandmother to have a better life.

01:04:32You know, one that I thought she deserved.

01:04:34And instead, I've...

01:04:36I've gone a completely...

01:04:37I ruined everything because I thought I knew better.

01:04:39You wanna know why I care so deeply about...

01:04:42tidings of joy?

01:04:44I took the job there because growing up your grandmother was the...

01:04:47only person in town that told my grandfather no.

01:04:51Every...

01:04:52single business in town, Cade.

01:04:54But your grandmother...

01:04:56she stood strong.

01:04:58That takes...

01:04:59guts...

01:05:01courage and...

01:05:02trust in God.

01:05:04Everything that I wanted to believe that people were capable of.

01:05:08Everything that I wanted to believe...

01:05:10I was capable of.

01:05:12I need a minute.

01:05:16I'll be...

01:05:17I'll be back.

01:05:22I'll be back.

01:05:26You keep the change.

01:05:27I'll be back.

01:05:28I'll be back.

01:05:29I'll be back.

01:05:31I'll be back.

01:05:32My grandfather always said a man could command an

01:05:37entire room just by wearing a tux grandfather

01:05:42That's a smart man

01:05:46Have we met before?

01:05:47You look a little familiar

01:05:49Not yet

01:05:50One please

01:05:52Thank you

01:05:57You're a girl Eve Early?

01:06:00Yeah

01:06:01Not all of us

01:06:02Can pull off a fairytale romance like you and your dance partner

01:06:06Don't

01:06:07Don't get me wrong

01:06:08She's a fine girl

01:06:09But this is more of a business opportunity

01:06:13She's got a stubborn streak

01:06:14I'll give her that

01:06:15But everyone comes around

01:06:17Sooner or later

01:06:19It won't work

01:06:20I beg your pardon?

01:06:22Joyce Smart

01:06:24You twirling around on the dance floor is not going to make her change her

01:06:27Mind on keeping the shop

01:06:29If you want her business

01:06:31Or her

01:06:32Respect

01:06:33Then

01:06:34You need to

01:06:35Lead

01:06:36With honesty

01:06:38Trust me

01:06:39I learned that one the hard way

01:06:42Well with all due respect

01:06:46I know what I'm doing

01:06:47Thanks

01:06:52Is she turning on the other toe

01:06:54It's pretty funny

01:06:55It's hard to put on a month

01:07:08Your baby

01:07:10You come through

01:07:11ιαz wortome

01:07:13You're not going through

01:07:15My dad

01:07:16My dad

01:07:18My dad

01:07:20I'm sorry, Grandma.

01:07:25I know I'm too late, but I'm so sorry I was wrong.

01:07:30I was so wrong.

01:07:35I was so sorry.

01:07:40I was so sorry.

01:07:45I was so sorry.

01:08:30Where's Fred?

01:08:32Where are my grandparents?

01:08:40I

01:09:10Oh, I was starting to think I was going to close this place up all by myself.

01:09:15Sorry, I went back to the shop.

01:09:17I just needed a minute alone.

01:09:19I get it.

01:09:20Well, you were gone.

01:09:21I tried to talk to Fred, but it just fell on deaf ears.

01:09:25Now the dance is over.

01:09:26Well, lucky for us, my grandparents didn't fall in love.

01:09:30Or kiss at the dance.

01:09:32And how's that lucky for us?

01:09:35Follow me.

01:09:40All right, so...

01:09:45Tell me, what does this have to do with your grandparents?

01:09:47Here, I want you to stand in here.

01:09:49Oh, okay.

01:09:50Do you remember I told you how my grandparents fell in love?

01:09:53Yeah?

01:09:54That they had a kiss?

01:09:56That Christmas time, after dancing...

01:09:58Yeah.

01:09:59In a moment that felt like a snow globe?

01:10:01Mm-hmm.

01:10:03Mm-hmm.

01:10:04Wow, how did you figure that out?

01:10:07Remember, my grandma always...

01:10:09Have that newspaper framed on the wall?

01:10:11Yeah, the one by the desk.

01:10:13It featured a photograph...

01:10:14...of the Christmas snow dance.

01:10:16When I first got to the shop, I took a picture.

01:10:19And I zoomed in on it.

01:10:21And I realized Joy and George...

01:10:24...aren't photographed.

01:10:26Because they were never at the dance.

01:10:29Wait, if they were never at the dance, why do they have a framed picture of the article?

01:10:32There was a column in the corner...

01:10:34...that honored the shop for its impact on the community.

01:10:38Oh.

01:10:39Plus, my grandfather, he just came back from the war.

01:10:42There's no way he would have...

01:10:44...been able to afford tickets on his own.

01:10:46That's true.

01:10:46We bought him that ticket.

01:10:48Yeah, exactly.

01:10:49He was so thoughtful.

01:10:50You know, if he couldn't buy those tickets...

01:10:53...he would have made the evening...

01:10:54...he would have made the evening special in his own way.

01:10:56And this is where he...

01:10:59...we always planned to take her.

01:11:02Okay.

01:11:03So now I'll...

01:11:04...all we gotta do is find a way to get them here.

01:11:09...

01:13:35Good morning.

01:13:36Joy.

01:13:37I have to tell you something.

01:13:38Oh.

01:13:39The advice I gave you about selling.

01:13:42I was wrong.

01:13:43You have to tell me.

01:13:44You have to keep this shop.

01:13:45It's not just a business.

01:13:46It's you.

01:13:47It's the way you make money.

01:13:49people feel.

01:13:50It's the way you remind them that they matter.

01:13:53And without you.

01:13:54You hear this town.

01:13:55It wouldn't be the same.

01:13:57Don't ever.

01:13:59Don't ever let anyone else's idea of what's best pull you away from what God is around.

01:14:04You've already placed in your hands.

01:14:07You know, I spoke to Fred last night.

01:14:09after the dance.

01:14:10He was up front about why he asked me to be his date and why.

01:14:14He's so keen on buying tidings of joy.

01:14:17Fred made some sound business arguments.

01:14:19And I appreciate his honesty.

01:14:21But though I value Fred's good business sense.

01:14:24I trust God more than the market forecasts.

01:14:27I know in my heart I'm meant to keep this.

01:14:29shop.

01:14:30I am so glad to hear you say that.

01:14:34Oh, I have an idea.

01:14:35I have an idea.

01:14:39So I don't know what you said to him, but he took your advice.

01:14:44I just reminded him that a straight path in business is better than a crooked shortcut

01:14:48every time.

01:14:49So you told him to be honest with her.

01:14:51Yeah.

01:14:52Oh, hello Bennett.

01:14:53Hello.

01:14:55How does this sound?

01:14:58Thank you for your-

01:14:59generous offer, Fred.

01:15:00But I've decided to decline.

01:15:02I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

01:15:04Sincerely joy.

01:15:05Yeah.

01:15:06It's perfect.

01:15:07Great.

01:15:08Oh.

01:15:09Just one last thing.

01:15:12Wait.

01:15:13How-

01:15:14What if my grandmother keep the tidying in the glass case all these years if she gave

01:15:18it to Fred back then?

01:15:19Wait.

01:15:20What if my grandmother aren't gonna have it?

01:15:21I love it.

01:15:22My grandmother's grandmother, it's good before it is rich.

01:15:23Maybe she doesn't want you to live in a book maybe.

01:15:24Like this time.

01:15:25I don't know if I'm crazy, it's good for more years.

01:15:27And I don't know that one night because i thought it was good for Sarah.

01:15:30Where are you on that?

01:15:32Because I'm nice.

01:15:34Are you talking to say I Smith's gost of, what do you explain to this long?

01:15:47Come with me.

01:15:50And you can't be swayed?

01:15:53My mind's made up.

01:15:55Good.

01:15:57I was hoping you'd say that.

01:15:59Really?

01:16:01I just got...

01:16:02I got word about a substantial grant.

01:16:04My bank awards to one shop at the end of each year.

01:16:06Aren't you...

01:16:07You're usually buying up local shops, not donating to them.

01:16:11Well, every year my...

01:16:12Family finds a way to give something back to the community.

01:16:15The recipient is chosen based on...

01:16:17On nominations from the town and...

01:16:19This year...

01:16:21Tidings of Joy.

01:16:22Was unanimously selected.

01:16:25Thanks to the women...

01:16:27And servicemen...

01:16:28That were so touched by all the tidings of comfort and joy that...

01:16:32You gave away...

01:16:34During the war.

01:16:37The grant is enough to keep your shop going.

01:16:40Joy!

01:16:43I can hardly believe it.

01:16:46That is...

01:16:47Very...

01:16:48Very...

01:16:49Very...

01:16:50Kind of you.

01:16:51Keep this.

01:16:52As a reminder to never lose sight...

01:16:54Why this shop matters and...

01:16:57And the difference you make.

01:17:01Thank you, Fred.

01:17:02Your children.

01:17:04I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

01:17:07You take care, Fred.

01:17:12You take care, Fred.

01:17:13You take care, Fred.

01:17:14You take care, Fred.

01:17:15You take care.

01:17:16I'm so excited.

01:17:17To tell George the news.

01:17:18I'll be back soon.

01:17:22You take care, Fred.

01:17:23To tell George the news.

01:17:24You take care, Fred.

01:17:25You take care.

01:17:26You take care.

01:17:27That's...

01:17:27I think that might be our cue to start heading back home.

01:17:30Oh, so soon?

01:17:32Oh, I wish we didn't have to leave, but...

01:17:37Yeah, we need to get back to Chicago.

01:17:39And now that you have the grant, you can hire someone to help you.

01:17:43I'm gonna miss you.

01:17:45Oh, I'm gonna miss you, too.

01:17:47I'm so happy we got the chance to meet.

01:17:52Well, I best get back to Chicago.

01:17:57George, before the storm arrives.

01:17:59Safe travels to you.

01:18:00Merry Christmas, Joy.

01:18:02Bye, Joy.

01:18:03Goodbye, Ali.

01:18:08Ali.

01:18:10I like that name.

01:18:13And don't forget to latch the door on your way out.

01:18:15And be sure to drop by the next time you're in...

01:18:17in Indiana, alright?

01:18:23Bye.

01:18:27I sure hope that

01:18:32This works.

01:18:34Only one way to find out.

01:18:37Wait.

01:18:39Close your eyes first.

01:18:40Hmm?

01:18:42Trust me.

01:18:47God, I know you're in control, so please bring us back safely.

01:18:52Amen.

01:18:56Okay.

01:18:57Now we're ready.

01:19:03Go get me.

01:19:04Go get me.

01:19:07Go get me.

01:19:07Oh, my God.

01:19:12I'm just going to pour you up tonight.

01:19:17Did it work?

01:19:23It looks like it.

01:19:25Welcome back to present day.

01:19:27Christmas snow dance.

01:19:32Look at this.

01:19:34That's us.

01:19:36Ah.

01:19:37Ah.

01:19:38Ah.

01:19:39Ah.

01:19:42Ah.

01:19:43Ah.

01:19:44Ah.

01:19:45Ah.

01:19:46Ah.

01:19:47Ah.

01:19:48Ah.

01:19:50Ah.

01:19:52Well, I did something this weekend I should have done weeks ago.

01:19:56I brought on a launch.

01:19:57And the team has come up with an entire list.

01:20:02It's a really new approach because I've realized that when you do what's predictable.

01:20:07You'll never do anything remarkable.

01:20:09The strategy I built was to safe.

01:20:12And if we launched that way, we would have been just another app shouting in an overcrowded

01:20:17mic.

01:20:17You can see on your faces, you're all wondering, what happened to Allie over the weekend?

01:20:22My grandmother left me an old...

01:20:27Christmas shop that I nearly sold because I've always thought it was irrelevant.

01:20:32But something happened over the weekend that made me realize why people continue...

01:20:37to go back all year round, year after year.

01:20:41My grandmother...

01:20:42My grandmother gave without expecting anything in return.

01:20:45My grandmother gave without expecting anything in return.

01:20:47And because of that, she left a lasting impact.

01:20:52My grandmother gave without showing ought to anyone...

01:20:53My mother had this great thing.

01:20:54My grandmother gave without expecting anything...

01:20:56I knew...

01:20:56My grandmother gave without...

01:20:57My grandmother gave without headache.

01:20:58cast ball AB5

01:21:05The human wholyn had gone higher and that made me more

01:21:15customers will get an initial membership for free. No strings attached, no hidden

01:21:20fees. We invest in them before they ever invest in us.

01:21:25And we'll partner with Tidings of Joy, the company that inspired this strategy.

01:21:30I know, it's risky. But sometimes...

01:21:35Stepping out in faith. Choosing to trust even when you can't see the outcome.

01:21:40Could be the very thing that leads to something greater.

01:21:45We don't want to be just another app. We want to redefine what connection...

01:21:50really means. The launch team will tell you about the specifics.

01:21:55Okay.

01:22:00I love this new side of you. The strategy, the launch...

01:22:04I knew you had...

01:22:05I knew you had it in you.

01:22:06Well, I'm getting used to it myself.

01:22:08Well, it suits you. You even look different.

01:22:10Lighter. Like someone who finally lets someone wrap her Christmas presents.

01:22:15Oh, okay. Who's making you smile like that?

01:22:17Oh, it's nothing. It's just the Tidings of Joy.

01:22:20It's just the top manager.

01:22:21Wait! The guy who doesn't know how to text guy?

01:22:24Yeah, that's the one.

01:22:25Okay, now I really love this new side of you.

01:22:28Okay, no. It's not like that. It's just...

01:22:30He's a friend.

01:22:31Uh-huh, and yet you're smiling at your phone like it just hung mistletoe over your head.

01:22:35So, when are you leaving?

01:22:40To Indiana?

01:22:41Come on, don't act like you're not already planning the job.

01:22:45Give me that life drive.

01:22:46When are you leaving?

01:22:47That's right.

01:23:12when I got here.

01:23:13You know, the old-fashioned way.

01:23:14Uh, how did it go?

01:23:17It went exactly how it was supposed to.

01:23:20Really?

01:23:21Mm-hmm.

01:23:22Last-minute overthinking or anything?

01:23:24Didn't need to.

01:23:26Look at you.

01:23:27Oh.

01:23:28Oh.

01:23:29Oh.

01:23:30Oh.

01:23:31Oh.

01:23:32Oh.

01:23:32We should probably get to work.

01:23:34Right.

01:23:35Yeah, I'll go, uh, I'll go get some.

01:23:37Supplies.

01:23:38Okay.

01:23:39Or we could start with supper.

01:23:43Well, supper, huh?

01:23:45Yeah.

01:23:46Well, I drove all the way here.

01:23:47The least you could do is have dinner with me.

01:23:50Yeah.

01:23:51I'd like to-

01:23:52I'm gonna go, uh, lock up.

01:23:56I'm gonna go, uh, lock up.

01:23:57I hope you have a blessed Christmas.

01:24:02May your every wish come true.

01:24:07Let the joy you feel in me.

01:24:12Once I'd be home for all.

01:24:17I hope you have a blessed Christmas.

01:24:22A blessed Christmas, like the good one.

01:24:27All days are yours.

01:24:30May your heart-

01:24:32May your heart be filled with all the seasons.

01:24:37May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:46May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:47May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:48May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:49May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:50May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:51May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:52May your heart be filled with joy.

01:24:53May your heart be filled with joy.
