00:30Easy, Julius.
00:48Steady, boy.
00:49Through the course of history,
01:19the story has been told time and time again.
01:26Through living examples of God's grace, sacrifice, and forgiveness.
01:43In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
02:12A mysterious stranger makes his way across the rugged plains on his way to a lonely prairie
02:42town.
02:43Because of his journey there, this town will never be the same.
03:04Oh, boy.
03:11Hello.
03:13Hello.
03:15Hello.
03:17Let's go, Julius.
03:24Hello.
03:26Hello.
03:28Hello.
03:30Let's go, Julius.
03:53It's okay, man.
04:16You can go back to sleep.
04:20You're a long way from home, little fella.
04:22Don't worry.
04:23The wolf's gone.
04:24I think you made enough noise to scare ten of them away.
04:28Feel free to stay.
04:32I know what it's like to be a long way from home, too.
04:35We'll be fine.
04:40You could have just said hello.
04:42Have you ever been chased by a hungry wolf?
04:45What's your name?
04:46I thought it was going to be dinner.
04:48It's Chester.
04:49Yours?
04:50Julius.
04:52Does this guy eat meat?
04:53Because he looks like a meat-eater to me.
04:55Am I going to end up on his plate?
04:57You wouldn't be much of a meal.
04:58Yeah, well, tell that to the wolf out there.
05:01You're safe now.
05:02Although, I don't think we're going anywhere near the mountains.
05:06So?
05:07Is that a problem?
05:08You are a mountain goat.
05:09Well, if you want to get technical about it.
05:12But, I think you've got bigger problems, pal.
05:16Is he going to make you pull that without wheels?
05:19Tell me the truth.
05:25This guy's a lunatic, right?
05:27What makes you say that?
05:28Oh, I don't know.
05:29Maybe the fact that he made a sleigh out of his wagon and there isn't any snow.
05:34Trust him.
05:36Luck.
05:37That's all it was.
05:40Luck.
05:41Whatever you say.
05:44Isn't it a beautiful day?
06:00Is it?
06:01Well, I hadn't thought about it.
06:03I guess it is.
06:14What's that?
06:20Well, Matt, it could be our new home.
06:30Oh, yeah. This guy's not playing with a full deck.
06:46Welcome, welcome. Sit right there by the stove.
06:50What's he doing here?
06:55Sally, get the man a cup of coffee.
06:57Isn't that what I'm doing?
06:59Oh, you got lost, didn't you, young fella?
07:02People don't pay any attention to where they're going these days.
07:05That's not quite fair, sister. Perhaps the blizzard.
07:08Nonsense. He has the look of a man who doesn't pay attention.
07:12You do. No use denying it.
07:14Could happen to anyone.
07:16I'd be glad to saddle up and ride over towards St. Clair with you.
07:19Get you back on track.
07:21I think there's been some misunderstanding.
07:23Can't admit he's lost.
07:25But eat something first.
07:27I'll water your horse.
07:29He has a pet goat, too.
07:31A pet goat? Why, of all the foolish...
07:33If I could just explain.
07:35How on earth do you explain a pet goat?
07:37Sister, please let the man speak.
07:39Thank you. Let me clear something up.
07:42I'm not lost. The fact is, I intend to stay.
07:50Hey. Hey, come back.
07:52Why?
07:54Why?
07:56Why not?
07:58Oh, man. Lucky shot.
08:01How about that?
08:03Even luckier.
08:05By the way, hello.
08:07Hello.
08:09Goodbye.
08:11Wait.
08:16You know, when I left the mountains, this was not what I had in mind.
08:20Well, you're not going anywhere tonight.
08:22Where are we, anyway?
08:24Elder, does the wind ever stop blowing out here?
08:27Man, you ask a lot of questions.
08:30Do you want answers, or do you just like to hear yourself talk?
08:33Who's there?
08:35Quiet.
08:37We don't get many visitors here.
08:39So, some of us don't get to practice our company manners.
08:44Many visitors? We never get any.
08:47That's no excuse. Welcome.
08:50Where are we, exactly?
08:52Forty miles from nowhere and sixteen miles from never was.
08:56Unfortunately, there's more than a little truth to that.
09:00Not that it can't change, but here in West Sage,
09:03we've been limping along since the railroad passed us by a few years back.
09:08Limping along? We should be so lucky.
09:11Why, just the other day, I was looking for...
09:14Shoot! The sooner you find something positive to do with yourself, the better off you'll be.
09:20Do yourself a favor and hop on the first thing out of here.
09:23Don't make me come over there.
09:25Tell me about the people. That little girl.
09:28Ah, Lucy. Poor thing.
09:32She lost her mother a few years ago. A tragedy, of course.
09:40She and her father are barely holding on.
09:43They have a farm a ways out, but they live in town during the winter.
09:47I think that's good.
09:50From what I've seen, humans do better when they're near their own kind.
09:59Mr. Long! Mr. Long, wait!
10:02Ah, sweet, sweet Jane.
10:04Now, there's someone Lucy could stand to be around a lot more.
10:08Hmm. And Thomas, too.
10:10And there's the reason why they don't.
10:13Jane! Would you come here, please? Jane! Jane Albright!
10:16I don't know why her sister Maureen is so cross all the time.
10:21In my opinion, she needs someone to come along and ruffle her feathers.
10:25Come to think of it, we all could stand to have the icicles shaken out of our tree.
10:31Is that why you're here?
10:33Could be.
10:35This town sure could use some shaking up.
10:38You just can't shuffle into town without a ruffling a feather or two.
10:44Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
10:47He's gonna set up his shop. Send my livelihood timber, too.
10:53What we gonna do? What we gonna do?
10:56I think I know before long we're gonna find he's a con.
11:00He's got a wagon of tricks. I like him much better gone.
11:05I think I know. I think I know. I think I know.
11:08He's gonna shake a little dust.
11:14If it's a government acquisition, it puts me in a bad position here in town.
11:19Pack him up. Move him out.
11:22I bet his wagon's full of every new and fancy fangled thing.
11:27Without a doubt. What are we gonna do?
11:31I think I'm willing to bet.
11:34Haven't seen his true colors yet.
11:36He seems so nice and sincere.
11:39He must be lost if he's here.
11:41I think I know. I think I know. I think I know.
11:44He's gonna shake a little dust.
11:50I think I know. I think I know. I think I know.
11:53This town could use some shaking up.
11:56Oh, yeah. This town sure could use some shaking up.
12:04.
12:11.
12:15.
12:19.
12:22.
12:25.
12:29.
12:32Whoa!
12:33Get him, Peril!
12:36Whoa!
12:38Find your own breakfast!
12:40We've got him now, Peril!
12:41Lock the door!
12:42Don't let him escape!
12:44Whoa!
12:45Someone help!
12:47Help!
12:48Ladies!
12:49Whoa!
12:50Easy!
12:53Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!
12:54Dirty!
12:55Great group!
12:57After him, ladies!
13:03Thelma, you've got to help me!
13:04You've got to help me!
13:05Oh, freeze!
13:06I'm not turning!
13:09Thelma!
13:12You're a moving goat!
13:13Jump up to the hayloft!
13:14I can't!
13:15He's ours now, girls!
13:16Watch out for the horns!
13:18Jump on his back!
13:20We'll need you to eat our food!
13:22Oh, Thelma!
13:24A short, quick pair of ladies!
13:26Oh, that works!
13:27Easy, girls!
13:28Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!
13:29Go on!
13:30Off to be ashamed of yourselves!
13:31It's twelve to one.
13:32Look out!
13:33She's mad!
13:34She's mad!
13:40In case you didn't pick up on it,
13:42the ladies don't like it when you touch their food.
13:46Thanks.
13:47I'll remember that.
13:48You could have avoided all that by just jumping up to the hayloft.
13:52Don't you think I wanted to?
13:54I can't!
13:55I'm...
13:58I'm afraid of heights.
14:01Guess that makes it kind of tough to be a mountain goat.
14:04So instead, I'm in the middle of nowhere,
14:07reduced to playful sport for pecking poultry.
14:15Well, look at it this way.
14:17Everything's bound to be uphill from here.
14:19Oh, Thelma.
14:21Sorry.
14:22Bad metaphor.
14:24Mad if I were you, I'd duck.
14:26Huh?
14:27Oh!
14:29Did you ever miss?
14:32No.
14:33What's your name?
14:34Lucy.
14:35Well, I'm John Sonneman, and this here is Matt.
14:38There's one thing you should know about this fella.
14:40Oh? What's that?
14:42He can run like the wind,
14:43and he has my permission to chase you from here to the Rockies.
14:47Uh-oh!
14:48Oh!
14:49Oh!
14:50Oh!
14:51Oh!
14:52Uh-oh!
14:56You're okay. You're a mountain goat.
14:58How are you doing?
14:59Uh, fine.
15:00Are you ready to open your eyes?
15:02Uh, yes. Yes, I am.
15:04On the count of three.
15:05One.
15:06You're doing great, Chester.
15:08Two.
15:09You're a mountain goat,
15:10and you'll have this fear of heights licked in no time.
15:13Three.
15:14Open your eyes.
15:16Oh!
15:18Oh!
15:19Oh!
15:23Okay, that's a start.
15:27Hello.
15:28Oh, Miss Aubrey.
15:30After all these years, maybe you could call me Jane.
15:33Jane.
15:34Thomas.
15:35You've had bad news.
15:37I'm sorry.
15:38Bad news?
15:39No, no, not at all.
15:41In fact, it's good news.
15:43Very good.
15:46Jane!
15:47Jane Aubrey!
15:49Yes, sister.
15:50Excuse me.
15:51I have to find Lucy.
15:53Ladies.
15:56Are those muffins?
15:57Where could you possibly be going with...
15:59Oh, Jane.
16:01Yes, Maureen.
16:02I'm actually going to try and be a good neighbor.
16:07Well, at least find out everything you can about him.
16:14A mountain goat who's afraid of heights.
16:17Oh, that's good.
16:20You know, Rusty.
16:21One of these days, you're going to go too far.
16:29Look!
16:30I'm falling!
16:35Come on, guys.
16:36Lighten up.
16:37We're finally getting some laughs around here.
16:43I'm falling!
16:44I like a laugh as much as anyone else.
16:46Well, then, if he wants to laugh, let's laugh.
16:51Whoa!
16:56No, don't!
17:00Whoa!
17:02No!
17:15Are you okay?
17:16That looks like it hurt, huh?
17:21You're right.
17:22It is good to laugh.
17:25A little help here, guys?
17:27You're not afraid of heights, are you, Rusty?
17:36Welcome to West Sage.
17:37As for the people here, well, they can be friendly.
17:43Thank you for the muffins.
17:45Yeah, thanks.
17:47I'll let you and your father get back to work.
17:53John's not my father.
17:54My parents died a while back, and...
17:56Oh!
17:57Well, he's finding me a new family.
17:59Oh, I'm so sorry.
18:01And here I...
18:02Forgive me.
18:03You don't have to feel bad.
18:05John said he'd find someone perfect for me.
18:08And he will.
18:09You can trust John.
18:12But, Father, you can't marry someone you don't even know.
18:16You need a mother, Lucy.
18:18There's no getting around that.
18:20And my brother found a woman who's willing to be that for you.
18:23But what about love?
18:25What about...
18:26It's settled.
18:27I leave for Chicago in a few days to meet her.
18:30We'll be married there, and I'll have her back here by Christmas morning.
18:42Is this too fast?
18:44Ha-ha! Don't worry about me.
18:46What about me?
18:47Who ever heard of a goat pulling a sled?
18:50Come on, boy, faster, Tester!
18:53Ah-ha!
18:54Come on, Julius!
18:56Ladies, the moon is caressing the sky.
18:59The clouds are embracing the moon.
19:02And the snowflakes are floating down just to kiss our cheeks.
19:06No, it is not a night to stay inside.
19:09That man's lost his mind.
19:11You'd better hurry, Maureen.
19:13We're going to be late.
19:15We're going to be late.
19:17We're going to be late.
19:19We're going to be late.
19:21We're going to be late.
19:23We're going to be late.
19:25You'd better hurry, Maureen.
19:27I can't make Mr. Sonneman wait forever.
19:33I refuse to leave the warmth of this house.
19:36What's more, what's more,
19:38I insist you slow this animal down to a dignified trot.
19:41No, go faster.
19:43Okay, hold on, ladies.
19:45This is fun.
19:46Come on, Franklin.
19:48Of course, if you're too tired or worn out.
19:50Too tired, too worn out?
19:53I'll show you.
19:59I'll show you tired.
20:01I'll show you worn out.
20:05Hey, there's three of us, but only one of you.
20:10That's the way.
20:18You slow this thing down right now.
20:21I'm still beating you,
20:23and Miss Maureen has a good ten pounds on her sister.
20:28See you later.
20:29Okay.
20:31Come on, boy.
20:32Let's go, come on.
20:34Come on, boy, faster, you can do it.
20:42Hang on, Thomas.
20:45First one out to Willow Lake and back to town is the winner.
20:48You're on.
20:52Get on, Julius.
20:54Come on, Betsy.
21:04That's it.
21:06We're gonna beat him.
21:14Ah!
21:16Come on, here we go.
21:19That's it.
21:30That's it.
21:33Go!
21:39Come on, here we go.
21:44That's it.
21:46Jingle, jingling, it's a tingly, lovely winter groove.
21:51Horses patsy, we're all dancing.
21:55Horses patsy, we're all dancing.
22:01We're all dancing.
22:12Well?
22:13Well.
22:15That's what I'd call an adventure.
22:18It's been a while since I...
22:19Maybe we could do it again.
22:21Yes, that would be...
22:23Oh, maybe after I'm married and...
22:25Married?
22:27My brother has arranged that Lucy needs a mother.
22:30Brother, I thought it would be best if I'm going to Chicago in the morning to get married.
22:37Good night, Mr. Long.
22:42Good night, Jane.
22:59You sure you don't mind me taking your horse?
23:01Yours threw a shoe. You don't have a choice.
23:04Well, don't worry. I'll stable Julius near the depot.
23:07He'll be comfortable there till I get back from Chicago.
23:10Never worry about things like that, Thomas.
23:12Julius knows what he's doing, don't you, boy?
23:15I'm glad Lucy has a friend like you, Matt.
23:17If you can, cheer her up while I'm gone.
23:20After all, it's almost Christmas and...
23:22Mr. Long, Lucy doesn't want a new mother.
23:24At least not this way.
23:26That's enough, Matt.
23:27Safe journey, Thomas.
23:29Come on, Julius. Let's go, boy.
23:35Why are you letting him go?
23:37I thought you understood.
23:38I do.
23:39Hey, I thought you trusted me.
23:44You, uh, missed the big guy.
23:46Go ahead. Tease me about that, too.
23:48I've, uh, been kind of thinking.
23:50Hanging up there like I did.
23:52But, you know, being afraid of heights makes sense.
23:55I mean, one slip...
23:57Tell me about it.
23:59But there's something else.
24:01Something I was wondering if you ever thought about.
24:04Yeah?
24:05That feeling in the pit of your stomach when you're nervous.
24:08Did you know that's the exact same feeling you get when you're excited?
24:12Well...
24:14So this is what I'm thinking.
24:16Maybe you're not afraid of heights.
24:18Maybe you're just real excited.
24:20I mean, me, I hate snakes.
24:22But I gotta admit, whenever I see one, I always stop and look.
24:26Of course, then I run, but...
24:28Rusty, why are you talking to me like this?
24:31Look, Thelma's right.
24:33It's easy to criticize.
24:34It's harder to do something.
24:36That's why, new pal of mine,
24:38I'm going to help you overcome your fear of heights.
24:50Oh, boy.
24:52Now remember, nervous and excited are the same feeling.
24:56Okay, I'm excited.
24:58I'm excited. I'm excited.
25:00Uh, am I off the ground yet?
25:02I am, aren't I?
25:04Hey, how far?
25:05How far?
25:06No, no, don't tell me.
25:08Relax, pal. You're doing great.
25:11I'm excited. I'm excited.
25:13I'm... oh, whoa, hey, am I swaying?
25:16No, it's an optical illusion.
25:19Rusty, how can you have an optical illusion when you're blindfolded?
25:22I said relax.
25:25Uh, Rusty, I'm thinking maybe we should take this in stages.
25:30Hey, trust me.
25:32He's after our food, girls.
25:34Get him!
25:35Hey, you, meaty mutt!
25:38Rusty?
25:39Rusty?
25:40Die, Rusty!
25:44So how did I teach him a lesson?
25:46Do we eat his food?
25:48No.
25:49We don't even eat his flea.
25:52Whoa!
25:53Hey, hey, take it easy.
25:55I'm a meat eater.
25:56I don't even like chicken feet.
25:58Did you hear that?
25:59We're next.
26:01We can be meat eaters, too.
26:04Get him, girls. Get him.
26:06Rusty, please.
26:07I think I'm going to be sick.
26:09Hang tight, Jasper.
26:10Maybe.
26:11We're not ladies.
26:13We're all animals.
26:15Buckle us up before you...
26:16Rusty!
26:21It's a wonder I could walk at all today.
26:23Well, I have a few things to say to Mr. John Solomon.
26:26Ever since he came here, he's turned this town upside down.
26:29What on earth?
26:57Candy?
26:58There's a candy store?
27:00Think you can keep a surprise?
27:02Oh, yes.
27:04Oh, I know I can.
27:06Good.
27:07This is for you.
27:09Who'd have thought that a lonely town like ours would have something so...
27:14so wonderful?
27:16Well, when you're lonely or sad,
27:17isn't that the exact time that you need something wonderful?
27:20Yes, but it seems like it's been so long that... that...
27:24I thought nothing wonderful would ever happen again.
27:29Lucy, there's really no way to get around sadness or loneliness.
27:33You just have to go through it.
27:35But on the other side, well, let's just wait and see.
27:41My father says you smile as if you know something the rest of us don't.
27:46My father's right.
28:17There's gotta be more than this
28:22A lot of things I know that I have missed
28:25Time to move on
28:27A bigger town
28:29Where I can find happiness
28:32New York City with all its lights
28:35Or maybe California's balmy nights
28:39Time to move on
28:41Another town
28:42Find a new perspective in my life
28:46Cause the view from my window
28:49The peaceful and calm
28:52Only changes with seasons
28:56From sunsets to dawn
28:59While nothing bad really happens here
29:03Nothing good comes my way
29:06And the view from my window
29:10The view from my window
29:12Is not enough
29:15To make me stay
29:23I'm leaving the old for new
29:26Maybe it's a crazy thing to do
29:29But I'll never know
29:31If I never go
29:33And try to get a different point of view
29:36Back of the memories of those I love
29:39Open up the dreams I'm dreaming of
29:42I gotta move on
29:44Another town
29:46Cause the view from my window
29:49The peaceful and calm
29:52Only changes with seasons
29:56From sunsets to dawn
29:59While nothing bad really happens here
30:03Nothing good comes my way
30:07And the view from my window
30:13Cause the view from my window
30:17Is not enough
30:20To make me stay
30:37One more, the best for last.
30:41A Christmas present.
30:43Oh, how beautiful!
30:46What does it remind you of?
30:50This. Is that what it's supposed to be?
30:54Mm-hmm. It's a candy cane.
30:56It's almost too pretty to eat.
30:59Almost.
31:01Peppermint.
31:03But everyone knows peppermint is green.
31:05Or sometimes pink.
31:07But never red.
31:09This is something new.
31:11Why does it have to be red?
31:13Sometimes different colors mean different things.
31:15Do you know what a symbol is, Lucy?
31:17That's when something stands for something else.
31:20Oh, the red means something.
31:22Yes.
31:24Something happy?
31:26Well, like most Christmas stories, it turned out happy.
31:29When I look at this, I see something.
31:32When I look at this, I see so many things.
31:35I see a bright star.
31:37Shepherds. Angels.
31:39A mother singing a lullaby.
31:41A baby who grew up and chose to go through a sad time
31:45to suffer and die because, well, because he cares for us.
31:49And I see our happiness because he made that choice.
31:52Did he stay sad?
31:54No. Which is what I want you to remember when you eat that.
31:57You see, if you keep licking it, the red stripes will go away.
32:00Just like his sadness.
32:02Look!
32:04There you go.
32:06You know, my grandmother's mother lived all the way on the other side of the ocean.
32:10When she was a little girl and she went to church at Christmas,
32:13the choirmaster always gave her a candy cane to remind her of the shepherds.
32:17And to keep her quiet.
32:19They say she was quite a little chatterbox.
32:21I never talk in church.
32:23Good for you.
32:25Almost never.
32:27Of course, her candy cane was plain sugar.
32:29It wasn't until, oh, right around when I was a boy that someone added the peppermint.
32:33And then only a few years ago, someone decided to add the red stripes.
32:37To remind us of his sadness.
32:40We all go through hard times, Lucy.
32:43But sometimes happiness and sadness are this close together.
32:47That's something else you can think about as the red disappears.
32:50I will.
32:52And maybe this, too.
32:55Another reminder of Jesus.
33:26It's a symbol of sacrifice.
33:30Symbol of purity.
33:33Symbol of God's love for you and me.
33:39It brings hope to this little town.
33:43Through the stories that unfold.
33:46In the symbol of his simple candy cane.
33:53In the symbol of his simple candy cane.
34:05She's gone. She's gone, I tell you.
34:09Now, calm down.
34:11You never could remain calm in a crisis.
34:14And I blame him.
34:15Yes, you, John Sonneman.
34:17Filling everyone's head with foolish notions.
34:20Father, you didn't go.
34:22What's happened, Miss Aubrey?
34:24Jane has run off because she decided she's in love with him.
34:29Because you kept pushing them together.
34:35Come on, we've got to find her.
34:41Jane! Jane!
34:44Jane! Jane!
34:47Jane! Jane!
34:50Jane! Jane!
34:54Oh, no!
35:05Over here!
35:09She was here.
35:11At least she got this far.
35:13But where...
35:15Thomas, look out!
35:17John!
35:20Jane! Jane, are you there?
35:29Jane!
35:32Jane!
35:35Jane!
35:37Yes, help.
35:41Is she down there?
35:43No, I don't think so.
35:53She is down there.
35:55I hear something.
35:57Tell them, Rusty, quick!
36:01Thomas, wait.
36:04Huh? Jane!
36:08Help. Help.
36:13Oh, no.
36:16No.
36:21Oh, no. Chester, you're not going to believe this.
36:24What? What am I not going to believe?
36:27There's a wolf down there.
36:29Oh, no. Is he gray with one yellow eye and a black patch on his back?
36:34How would I know? I have great hearing.
36:36You want someone with great sight, find a hawk.
36:39Oh, it's got to be him. The one who was after me before.
36:42Oh, they have to get her out of there. Tell them.
36:49I'm going down there.
36:51No, you can't.
36:52I'm going down.
37:13Hang on, Jane.
37:18Oh, boy. This won't be pretty.
37:21Pauline, leave that alone.
37:23Oh, I was tying knots before you were born.
37:25Not that I'm that much older than you.
37:28No.
37:33No.
37:35Chester, get down there.
37:37What?
37:38You have to get that rope and bring it up.
37:40You have to get that rope and bring it up.
37:42Are you out of your mind?
37:44Usually, yes. This time, no.
37:46Have I mentioned that I'm afraid of heights and wolves?
37:50By the way, that whole nervous is excited thing of yours, Rusty,
37:53that's really not working for me right now.
37:57Oh, what have I done?
38:00Chester, this is the real deal.
38:03You got to push through this, buddy. They need you.
38:06I'm not scared. I'm excited.
38:09On the count of three.
38:11No, four. Let's do four.
38:13One, just do what comes naturally.
38:15Two...
38:17Whoa!
38:21Get back. Get back.
38:23Hang on, Jane.
38:33Get back.
38:36Jane, hang on.
38:38I'll tie the rope around the goat and he'll get it back to Sonovan.
38:44We're counting on you, little guy.
38:47Up you go. You can do it.
38:54Okay. I can do this. You can do this, Chester.
39:01That's it. Baby steps.
39:06Yes!
39:19Yee-haw!
39:24You okay, buddy?
39:26I did it, huh, Rusty?
39:28Hey, Chester, you're a hero.
39:30You're not mad at me, are you, pal? Chester?
39:34Jane.
39:40I never made it. I missed the train.
39:45You know, Rusty, I've been thinking.
39:47Come the spring, we're going to have to work on your fear of snakes.
39:52I've always found Christmas an odd combination
39:56of sacrifice and forgiveness,
39:58death and life, sadness and joy.
40:01But they're almost two sides of the same coin.
40:04Take the stripes of this candy cane, for example.
40:07It's made of sugar.
40:09It's made of sugar.
40:11It's made of sugar.
40:13It's made of sugar.
40:15It's made of sugar.
40:17It's made of sugar.
40:19Take the stripes of this candy cane, for example.
40:22Sadness over joy.
40:24As the red disappears, the white shines out brightly.
40:27The Christmas star is brighter than the darkness in any of our nights.
40:33As quietly as he came,
40:36John Solomon rides out of the town of West Sage,
40:45leaving behind a new candy store,
40:49a marriage for Thomas and Jane,
40:52a new family,
40:54a new life.
40:56Leaving behind a new candy store,
41:00a marriage for Thomas and Jane,
41:03a new family for Matt and Lucy,
41:07and a new life for all that have crossed his path.
41:57Christmas is coming!
42:00Christmas is coming!
42:03Christmas is coming!
42:06Christmas is coming!
