00:00:00We're so proud of you.
00:00:05You have everything that you need.
00:00:07Oh, come on, Dad, don't.
00:00:09There he goes.
00:00:11As you get older, you get more sentimental.
00:00:13It just happens.
00:00:15Here's to you.
00:00:17And thanks for this past week.
00:00:19It may be our best Christmas on record.
00:00:22Mom, don't you start now, too.
00:00:26To all you.
00:00:27The family that cries in the corner together?
00:00:30Is the family everyone stares at.
00:00:36Really, you guys, thank you for seeing me off.
00:00:39Here's to the world's best people.
00:00:43Also my big sister.
00:00:46Who will probably be famous by the time I get back.
00:00:48Oh, come on, they're producing one album.
00:00:50Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:00:52You'll be headlining tours before you know it.
00:00:55One day, maybe, if I'm lucky.
00:00:57Lucky?
00:00:58You've been working hard for this, sweetie.
00:01:00I know, but honestly, I just...
00:01:02I just want to make people feel what I feel when I play.
00:01:05The way it lifts me off the ground.
00:01:08That's what I want to put out in the world.
00:01:12Actually, would you excuse me?
00:01:14Where are you going?
00:01:15You'll find out soon enough.
00:01:23Deck the halls with boughs of holly
00:01:28La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:01:39Oh, hi.
00:01:40Sorry, didn't mean to scare you there.
00:01:42No, no, it's okay.
00:01:44You started playing and I didn't want to disturb you.
00:01:47You sounded really good.
00:01:48Thanks, I was just warming up.
00:01:50The organizers of the event asked if I would play something, so...
00:01:53Wow, that's really nice of you.
00:01:55It's the least I can do.
00:01:57Are you deploying as well?
00:02:00Yeah, third tour.
00:02:02I spent Christmas in Fort Missoula,
00:02:04and RSO asked me to drive the bus to the airport, so...
00:02:09So, what do you think of Canyon Pass?
00:02:13Honestly, it's one of the nicest towns I've been to in all of Montana.
00:02:20My little brother will be joining you on your bus soon.
00:02:25Figured I'd play a song for everyone shipping out,
00:02:28just working out a few nerves first.
00:02:30Stage fright?
00:02:32More like overly excited.
00:02:34I guess it's hard to describe, but you know, as the saying goes,
00:02:38you'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
00:02:43You're a Dolly Parton fan.
00:02:44Are you kidding me? I love her music.
00:02:50You worried about him?
00:02:53Sorry, none of my business.
00:02:56No, I mean, yes, I am, but my dad served,
00:03:01so I always try to temper my worry with a little optimism.
00:03:06Makes sense.
00:03:10I'm Charlotte.
00:03:12I'm Matt.
00:03:19Is it time? Okay.
00:03:21Oh, your guitar pick.
00:03:23Oh, it's okay. Keep it. For good luck.
00:03:27Nice to meet you, Charlotte.
00:03:29Same here.
00:03:33Hi, everyone.
00:03:36Thank you, to all of you, for your service.
00:03:41Deck the halls with the boughs of holly

00:05:02Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:05:08Thank you, Nashville!
00:05:10I would love to stay and play Encores all night,
00:05:12but it's one week to Christmas,
00:05:14and we're all going home to visit our families.
00:05:16So for this last song, I'd love it if you could
00:05:18put your hands together one more time
00:05:20for my dear friend, Taylor Robb!
00:05:23Thank you, thank you.
00:05:26Now how about a big hand for Charlotte Quinn.
00:05:30Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be here
00:05:32with you tonight.
00:05:34And a big hand for Charlotte Quinn.
00:05:36Ladies and gentlemen, isn't she amazing?
00:05:41Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:05:43Hope you like this last one.
00:05:45Here we go.
00:05:46Two, three, four!
00:05:52Oh, here you go. Merry Christmas.
00:05:54Great show, darling.
00:05:56Oh, thanks.
00:05:57What a way to wrap a tour.
00:05:59Thanks, Gretchen.
00:06:00Oh, I have something for you, too.
00:06:02Thanks.
00:06:04Wow! I love this.
00:06:07Well, you're always losing your pens,
00:06:09but you never seem to lose your jewelry, so...
00:06:11I don't know, I figured if I gave you a pen
00:06:13that looked like jewelry, all your problems would be over.
00:06:15You're amazing. Thank you.
00:06:17Charlotte, that Christmas song tonight,
00:06:19it left me speechless.
00:06:21And the buzz about you and Taylor...
00:06:23I don't want to know.
00:06:25Like it or not, sweetie, people are talking about
00:06:27whether you're back together.
00:06:28I mean, even the people at the label were asking.
00:06:30You talked to the label?
00:06:31Yeah, and they are pushing hard
00:06:33to get you back in the studio right after New Year.
00:06:35As soon, huh?
00:06:37If you need me to push the time frame,
00:06:39because you need them.
00:06:40Not to worry.
00:06:41I have most of the songs together.
00:06:43Ah, the trusty notebook.
00:06:45Oh, did you remember...
00:06:46Already taken care of.
00:06:48I'm your manager.
00:06:49I can manage.
00:06:50Your mom and dad's Christmas gift.
00:06:52Thanks for handling this.
00:06:53Anytime.
00:06:54All right, come on.
00:06:55We've got the bus waiting.
00:06:56Okay.
00:07:01So you're just going to leave without saying goodbye?
00:07:03I moved my flight up.
00:07:05My brother gets home tomorrow,
00:07:07so I'm taking the red-eye home to Montana
00:07:09to surprise my parents.
00:07:11Lucky them.
00:07:12Lucky me.
00:07:13I'm excited to see them.
00:07:14Must be nice.
00:07:16You could see your parents, too.
00:07:19Unfortunately, that doesn't look too promising right now.
00:07:22I guess you're right.
00:07:24Hey, you really nailed that new song tonight.
00:07:28I think we nailed that new song tonight.
00:07:31It's been a great tour, huh?
00:07:34I don't know, Charlotte.
00:07:37I can't help thinking that if we...
00:07:39If we what?
00:07:42Taylor, there are a million reasons
00:07:44why you and I didn't work out.
00:07:45No, I was just going to say that
00:07:47you should consider doing a song on my album,
00:07:50and I could do one on yours.
00:07:52That'll just make people think we're getting back together.
00:07:55So what?
00:07:56Let them think what they want.
00:07:57Well, I don't like lying.
00:07:58We shouldn't let people believe there's a chance.
00:08:00I know.
00:08:01I'm just saying, think about it, okay?
00:08:06Okay.
00:08:07Okay, I'll think about it.
00:08:11But you have to at least consider calling your family.
00:08:16Fine.
00:08:18Highly doubtful.
00:08:19But I'll consider it.
00:08:22Okay.
00:08:23Merry Christmas, Taylor.
00:08:25Merry Christmas to you, too.
00:09:21Merry Christmas, house.
00:09:31Charlotte!
00:09:33I didn't know you were here.
00:09:34I told you a burglar doesn't make coffee
00:09:36when they break into your house.
00:09:40I couldn't wait to see you guys.
00:09:42The big sky Christmas down at the American Legion.
00:09:44Cookies for breakfast.
00:09:46All of it.
00:09:48Your mother and I were running out of ways
00:09:50to distract ourselves waiting for you and Eric.
00:09:52Well, you could have put up a tree.
00:09:55Ready to finally take some time off, Dad?
00:09:57I guess a little.
00:10:00As soon as Eric is up to speed with running the business,
00:10:03I'll start driving your mother crazy
00:10:05while I figure out what retirement looks like.
00:10:07I can't wait for Eric to be home.
00:10:10What time does he get in?
00:10:11They land in an hour.
00:10:13The rear detachment officer texted,
00:10:15said they were right on time.
00:10:18Oh, I should warn you,
00:10:20I might have to sneak away a few times
00:10:21to finish writing some songs while I'm here.
00:10:23Well, fill the house with music, Charlotte.
00:10:25We'd love it.
00:10:27Oh, so glad you're home.
00:10:29I love you. So happy to be here.
00:10:31Now let's go get our Christmas tree.
00:10:34Do you know who delivers Christmas presents to baby sharks?
00:10:36Oh, here we go.
00:10:37Santa Jaws.
00:10:38Good one, Dad.
00:10:40A tag for you.
00:10:41Oh, obviously got the heavy one here.
00:10:44You can pick it up later.
00:10:47Oh, hello.
00:10:49Matt, this is our daughter.
00:10:51Charlotte.
00:10:52Matt, hi.
00:10:54You've met?
00:10:55Yeah, we were hanging around the stage
00:10:57a few years ago at Eric's send-off.
00:10:59It's good to see you again.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:03Glenn, thanks again for all your help in the house.
00:11:06Your crew did an awesome job.
00:11:08Yeah, your dad's been working on a project
00:11:10that Matt has been managing for Operation Homefront.
00:11:13Yeah, it's an organization that helps with housing needs
00:11:16for veterans and their families.
00:11:17What a great idea.
00:11:18Yeah, they needed someone to set up
00:11:20a temporary volunteer center here,
00:11:22and then your dad here
00:11:23volunteered his entire construction company
00:11:25to help us remodel the house.
00:11:27Sounds like something Dad would do.
00:11:29It's what anyone would do.
00:11:31Now, who would like some hot chocolate?
00:11:33Oh, I will never say no to hot chocolate.
00:11:35One?
00:11:36I'm okay.
00:11:37Okay.
00:11:38Okay.
00:11:42So, good to be home?
00:11:44Oh, very much so.
00:11:46It's amazing how just a few hours back here
00:11:48can relax every muscle in my body.
00:11:51How about you?
00:11:52How's life as a civilian?
00:11:54It's not bad.
00:11:56It's been a year now.
00:11:58So you just moved to Canyon Pass?
00:12:01No, I'm just here through the new year.
00:12:03We got to hand off the keys just before Christmas, and then...
00:12:06Matt.
00:12:07Yeah?
00:12:08Do you have a minute?
00:12:09Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:10You okay?
00:12:11Yeah, sort of.
00:12:12I made a mistake on one of those...
00:12:15Well, Charlotte, hi.
00:12:17Oh, Jesse.
00:12:18Jesse Wong.
00:12:19You all grown up.
00:12:20I heard you were back in town.
00:12:21Yeah, just volunteering at Operation Homefront.
00:12:23Have you seen my mom?
00:12:25Sorry, yesterday, yeah.
00:12:26Jesse graduated with my brother in high school,
00:12:29and if I remember correctly,
00:12:30played a tuba twice his size in my mom's class.
00:12:36And I made a mistake on that form.
00:12:38I could really use some help figuring it out.
00:12:40Sure.
00:12:41I'll see you around?
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:43All right.
00:12:44Bye.
00:12:46Ah.
00:12:58Oh, there you go again.
00:12:59Is your handkerchief ready?
00:13:01I don't want to get a reputation.
00:13:03Strong men aren't afraid to cry.
00:13:05Oh, honey.
00:13:07Oh!
00:13:08Oh!
00:13:14You.
00:13:15You.
00:13:16You.
00:13:17You.
00:13:18So you went off and got famous after all.
00:13:20All right, all right.
00:13:21Take it easy.
00:13:22Take it easy?
00:13:23Do you have any idea what kind of abuse I took from the guys
00:13:25when they found out you were my sister?
00:13:27Why were you telling them I'm your sister then?
00:13:29Because I'm so darn proud of you.
00:13:30That's why.
00:13:33Oh, come on.
00:13:34We're having a home Christmas party at the Legion.
00:13:35Let's go.
00:13:36All right.
00:13:39Aunt and Dad, finally retiring.
00:13:41Cheers.
00:13:48Dana.
00:13:49Hi.
00:13:50Charlotte, this is Dana Alvarez.
00:13:52Hi.
00:13:53Hi.
00:13:54We served together a few years back.
00:13:56She was with me on the mission when...
00:13:58When this guy gave us a good scare.
00:14:00Yeah, that was one crazy day.
00:14:03I'm just glad you were there to have my back.
00:14:06I just had a meeting with Matt.
00:14:08Operation Homefront is helping my family with the new house.
00:14:11Your wonderful dad has been giving me updates on its progress.
00:14:17Oh, this is my daughter, Hadley.
00:14:19One of my best students, in fact.
00:14:21Incredibly talented.
00:14:23Just got into Juilliard.
00:14:24Wow, that's really impressive.
00:14:26Not as much as...
00:14:28I mean, I'm such a huge fan.
00:14:31Well, the good thing is, everything I learned, I owe to this woman.
00:14:35Well, it was so nice to see you all again.
00:14:37Merry Christmas.
00:14:39Wow, Juilliard, good for her.
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:42But getting one of those scholarships is going to be tough going.
00:14:45And Dana lost her husband last year.
00:14:49It's been tough for Hadley.
00:14:52If I can help...
00:14:54We'll talk.
00:14:56Oh, that's Shelly Santos.
00:14:58We should go say hi.
00:14:59Actually, mind if I pop outside and jot down a few lyrics?
00:15:02Not at all.
00:15:03Okay, see you later.
00:15:07Hey.
00:15:08You okay?
00:15:10I'm fine.
00:15:11Except I can always tell when you've got something on your mind.
00:15:14Go work on your song, okay?
00:15:16I'll see you later.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:25Wow.
00:15:30Oh, hey.
00:15:32Hey.
00:15:33Hey.
00:15:34It's really something, isn't it?
00:15:35Yeah.
00:15:36Big Sky Christmas, huh?
00:15:38Happens every year.
00:15:39The town vets get together and build this little Christmas village.
00:15:42It started when I was a kid.
00:15:43They do photos with Santa, this hilarious event where they all play reindeer games.
00:15:48Wow.
00:15:49So, you just came out to watch them build, or...?
00:15:51Actually, I thought it might inspire a few new lyrics.
00:15:54Oh, I see.
00:15:55Working through the Christmas break, huh?
00:15:57Mm-hmm.
00:15:58Sounds like I'm not alone.
00:15:59Oh, me?
00:16:00Oh, no.
00:16:01I don't consider Operation Homefront work.
00:16:03I like helping out.
00:16:04Just waiting to hear back on a couple jobs I'm up for, so the timing was good to help them out.
00:16:09There you are.
00:16:10Hey.
00:16:11How are you?
00:16:12Good.
00:16:13Hey, and congratulations, man.
00:16:15Jesse told me you're the final round of interviews for that job you applied for overseas.
00:16:19It's no big deal.
00:16:21We can talk about it later.
00:16:23Now, there's this region that absolutely needs someone who can speak Persian Farsi,
00:16:26which your brother here took it upon himself to learn.
00:16:30That's Eric, always the overachiever.
00:16:33Charlotte, I was going to talk to you before I did anything.
00:16:36You mean like reenlisting?
00:16:38Hey, we should get back home.
00:16:40That tree is not going to decorate itself.
00:16:42Oh, you're not going to carry that home.
00:16:44Let the kids do it.
00:16:47Everyone okay?
00:16:49Mom's right.
00:16:50We can get the tree.
00:16:51You guys go ahead.
00:16:53Matt, want to help us decorate it?
00:16:56I couldn't impose.
00:16:57Impose?
00:16:58Matt, we have more baked goods in our house than the four of us can ever get through.
00:17:03Okay, I'll go tell them I'm leaving.
00:17:07Great.
00:17:12I can't tell you how much it means to me that you're taking over the business, son.
00:17:15Your mother and I are just so happy you're both home.
00:17:22I'll see you, Dad.
00:17:33I'm still waiting for them to schedule the interview.
00:17:35But it'd be soon, right?
00:17:36I'd be shipping back out right after the new year, yeah.
00:17:39And that's what you want?
00:17:41Well, if I'm needed there, then yes, it is what I want.
00:17:44What about Dad?
00:17:45I know he wants me to take over for him after he retires.
00:17:48Mom and Dad are going to understand either way.
00:17:52Do you want me to talk to them?
00:17:54No.
00:17:55Mom's waited a long time for this Christmas.
00:17:57I'll handle it.
00:17:58You sure?
00:17:59Well, that took a minute.
00:18:00Sorry.
00:18:01Eric, you're needed for a photo in there.
00:18:03I'm on it.
00:18:04Oh, the tree.
00:18:05Did you want me to...
00:18:06Oh, no.
00:18:07Go.
00:18:08Be with your friends.
00:18:09I'll get the tree home.
00:18:10And I can help?
00:18:11Of course you can.
00:18:12He's basically your number one fan, Charlotte.
00:18:14Oh, is he now?
00:18:16Every time you sent me what you were working on, I let him listen to it.
00:18:19Over and over and over.
00:18:22Just get out of here.
00:18:24Over and over, huh?
00:18:27Uh, well...
00:18:29It wasn't that much.
00:18:30I mean...
00:18:32Really, though, the song about the mountain is one of my very favorites.
00:18:35The size of kindness.
00:18:37It actually made me turn down a job.
00:18:39I'm sorry.
00:18:40What?
00:18:41Well, not directly, but before I enlisted, I had a business degree.
00:18:46I'm listening.
00:18:47Go on.
00:18:48Okay.
00:18:49Um, well, I was in marketing for almost eight years.
00:18:52But I never really felt that challenged.
00:18:55Something was missing.
00:18:56And then, uh, one day I was on a plane, and I sat beside a recruiter.
00:19:00And we started talking, and that was it.
00:19:03So you just up and joined the army?
00:19:05Yeah.
00:19:06Yeah, basic training in officer candidate school.
00:19:08I served for five years.
00:19:10And then, when I came back, I applied for a bunch of corporate jobs.
00:19:13And that's when I started hearing your song everywhere.
00:19:17Moving mountains is easy when...
00:19:19When we choose to push together.
00:19:21Push together.
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23Also, I turned down a job.
00:19:25I just didn't really feel right anymore.
00:19:28Well, now you know how much your lyrics can inspire people.
00:19:30Um, I mean, that's...
00:19:33That's very sweet of you to say.
00:19:36Do you mind if we stop by Operation Homefront before we go?
00:19:39Oh, yeah, no problem.
00:19:40Yeah? Okay.
00:19:41Let's go.
00:19:42Good.
00:19:44Stay.
00:19:47Right there. Stay.
00:19:51Need any help, Jess?
00:19:53I think I got it.
00:19:55I'm trying your suggestion of uploading some photos on the website.
00:19:58Well, hello there.
00:19:59His name is Koa. It means survivor.
00:20:01He was a hurricane rescue.
00:20:03You've had some adventures, pal.
00:20:07Right?
00:20:08Oh, handsome boy.
00:20:09We partner with Pets for Vets.
00:20:11They help place sheltered dogs with veterans.
00:20:13I found homes for all the dogs we agreed to take.
00:20:15But then this guy shows up, and, well,
00:20:18he's with me until I can find him a forever home.
00:20:21Seems like he really likes you, Jesse.
00:20:23You sure you don't want to keep him?
00:20:24Oh, I don't have the...
00:20:26Well, I have the space, but I...
00:20:28I got a lot going on, and...
00:20:34Good boy.
00:20:36So we get your tree home?
00:20:37Mm-hmm.
00:20:38Good to see you, Jesse.
00:20:40See you, buddy.
00:20:41Bye.
00:20:42Bye.
00:20:44All right, Koa.
00:20:45How about we get you something to eat?
00:20:56I brought some more lights.
00:20:58Looks great.
00:20:59Here we go.
00:21:02Oh, that is a good tree.
00:21:04Thanks for the help, Matt.
00:21:05It's my pleasure.
00:21:07Oh, I'm so glad they waited.
00:21:09Growing up, we decorated the tree on Thanksgiving.
00:21:12We used to do that, too.
00:21:13Oh, where do your folks live?
00:21:16They actually passed away when I was in college.
00:21:19I am so sorry.
00:21:22Thanks.
00:21:24So, do you miss decorating when you're on tour during the holidays?
00:21:27Oh, I actually got a small tree for the bus.
00:21:30I couldn't help it.
00:21:31We put it on the Dolly Parton Kenny Rogers Christmas album
00:21:33and just danced around with the band while we decorated.
00:21:38Can't imagine tour bus living.
00:21:40Hey, it's fun.
00:21:43Exhausting.
00:21:44We laugh a lot.
00:21:46Sometimes lonely.
00:21:50Lonely?
00:21:52Even with the band and, you know, Taylor Robb?
00:21:55Taylor Robb and I have the same manager and the same job.
00:21:58That's it.
00:21:59Don't believe everything you read.
00:22:03Hey.
00:22:04Sorry I'm late.
00:22:05Hey.
00:22:06Did you save me the flamingo ornament?
00:22:08I actually haven't found it yet.
00:22:11Hey, listen.
00:22:12I know I caught you off guard earlier,
00:22:14and I still haven't made a final decision,
00:22:16but it got me thinking.
00:22:18If Dad's business needs someone to run it,
00:22:20maybe I should stay.
00:22:22He's here.
00:22:23We can start.
00:22:24I'll hang these up.
00:22:28Oh.
00:22:29What's this?
00:22:30Oh, actually,
00:22:35that's your Christmas present.
00:22:38We don't open presents until Christmas Eve.
00:22:40Maybe that's a tradition we should consider breaking.
00:22:43Just this once.
00:22:44Oh.
00:22:51Charlotte.
00:22:53Hon, this is...
00:22:55We can't let you do this, honey.
00:22:56It's already done.
00:22:59Uh, someone want to...
00:23:01Charlotte just paid off our house.
00:23:03Oh, sweetheart.
00:23:17You guys gave us everything.
00:23:19I found myself in a position to help you,
00:23:21so Merry Christmas.
00:23:24Charlotte, you're amazing.
00:23:27Maybe it'll help.
00:23:30All right, let's decorate a tree, shall we?
00:23:33Let's do that.
00:23:36Dashing through the snow
00:23:38In one horse open sleigh
00:23:42O'er the fields we go
00:23:45Laughing all the way
00:23:48Bells on bob tail ring
00:23:51Making spirits bright
00:23:54What fun it is to ride
00:23:57And sing a sleighing song tonight
00:24:02Jingle bells, jingle bells
00:24:05Jingle all the way
00:24:08Oh, what fun it is to ride
00:24:11In a one horse open sleigh
00:24:14Yay!
00:24:16Well done.
00:24:19So pretty.
00:24:20It's beautiful.
00:24:21Wait, wait, wait.
00:24:22Look.
00:24:23Look, look, look.
00:24:24Look what I found.
00:24:25What is?
00:24:26I knew we'd find it.
00:24:27I found it.
00:24:29You.
00:24:30You.
00:24:31You.
00:24:32I found it.
00:24:33I want to thank you guys for having me,
00:24:34but I should probably take off now, so.
00:24:36Sure you won't stay for dinner?
00:24:37Well, Jessica could really use a hand,
00:24:38and I have a full day of collecting toys tomorrow
00:24:40for Operation Homefront,
00:24:42so I'll leave you to some family time.
00:24:44Thanks for your help, Matt.
00:24:45Thanks, Matt.
00:24:46Good night.
00:24:54Um, hey.
00:24:57If you, um,
00:24:58if you need help collecting toys tomorrow,
00:25:00I'm around.
00:25:02Aren't you supposed to be writing songs?
00:25:04Well, hanging out with you
00:25:05might give me something to write about.
00:25:08I mean, uh, being home in the town,
00:25:12writing about the town.
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:17Um.
00:25:19Sure.
00:25:20Why not?
00:25:21Pick you up at 9 a.m.?
00:25:22Sounds good.
00:25:24All right.
00:25:25See you then.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:34Why don't we drop these off at the American Legion?
00:25:36Sounds good.
00:25:37Oh, and do you mind if we go check on the house
00:25:39we're working on for Dana and her daughter?
00:25:41Count me in.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:48Wow.
00:25:52Looks great.
00:25:53Yeah, doesn't it?
00:25:55I'm going to go make sure
00:25:56they got the upstairs areas painted.
00:25:58I shouldn't be long, okay?
00:25:59Hey.
00:26:00Hey, fellas.
00:26:01How's it going?
00:26:02Guys.
00:26:03Just trying to keep Dad here
00:26:04from putting his back out again.
00:26:06Like I told your mother, my back is fine.
00:26:08But for some reason, no one seems to believe me.
00:26:10I believe you, Dad.
00:26:12Oh, thank you, honey.
00:26:13But if we're going to get this house done by the 23rd,
00:26:15we're going to need all hands on deck.
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18Well, I'm going to go grab another set of clips.
00:26:20All right.
00:26:23Oh.
00:26:24Here.
00:26:25Can we sit down for a minute, please?
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28Take a load off.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:33Oh, honey.
00:26:35I know I need to slow down.
00:26:37But I volunteer the company to work on this job
00:26:40because I know it's going to be the last one I do
00:26:42before I retire.
00:26:44I'm just so glad your brother's finally home
00:26:46to take the reins.
00:26:49Tell me something.
00:26:50Would you still be retiring if Eric wasn't taking over?
00:26:53Or would you have shut down the company?
00:26:56Well, to be honest, I never really thought about it.
00:26:59I just always expected he would.
00:27:03Oh.
00:27:05Oh, it's my manager.
00:27:07Take the call.
00:27:08That's more important.
00:27:09I'm proud of you, honey.
00:27:11Thanks.
00:27:15Hello?
00:27:16OK, so normally I'd say no to something like this,
00:27:18give you a little more time to work on your album,
00:27:20but something sort of big is happening.
00:27:22Big?
00:27:23How big?
00:27:24The label thinks they can get you a spot
00:27:25on the country home Christmas special.
00:27:27Wait, what?
00:27:28The tape's live in Nashville December 23rd.
00:27:30Taxi!
00:27:31Two days before Christmas.
00:27:32Means you would have to leave there
00:27:33in a few days for rehearsal.
00:27:34And one more thing.
00:27:36They want you to sing an original duet with Taylor Robb.
00:27:39Which means writing another song.
00:27:41In addition to finishing the album, I know, yes,
00:27:43it is a lot of work.
00:27:45I mean, it's a huge opportunity.
00:27:48I don't know how we can say no.
00:27:50OK, I tell you what.
00:27:51They don't need a decision until tomorrow.
00:27:53Think about it.
00:27:54OK, I will.
00:27:55Thanks, Gretchen.
00:27:56OK, bye.
00:28:00And we got a bunch of people coming over tomorrow
00:28:02to put the final touches on the decorations.
00:28:04Great, I'll be here to help.
00:28:05Yeah, thanks.
00:28:07Hey.
00:28:08Hey.
00:28:09You want to head over to the high school with me
00:28:10and collect some more presents?
00:28:12Sure.
00:28:13Let's do it.
00:28:14Don't forget to stop in at your mother's class
00:28:15and say hello.
00:28:16We won't.
00:28:17All right.
00:28:18Bye, Dad.
00:28:19Thanks, hon.
00:28:20Bye, guys.
00:28:25So once you're done working for Operation Homefront,
00:28:27then what?
00:28:28Well, actually, I've been hearing back
00:28:30from a couple of places I've applied for.
00:28:32One in Boston, one in Florida.
00:28:33Both starting in the new year.
00:28:34Any early contenders?
00:28:36Both seem great.
00:28:37One is working with vets, the other with seniors.
00:28:39Both are desk jobs.
00:28:41Oh, so that's what's holding you back.
00:28:43Well, my parents grew up in the Peace Corps,
00:28:45so I grew up always knowing I wanted to help people.
00:28:47And the Army allowed me to do that,
00:28:49the same way Operation Homefront is doing that for me
00:28:51here at home.
00:28:54Well, shall we continue?
00:28:56Yeah.
00:29:02Who has another question?
00:29:04Hadley.
00:29:06So when you have all these songs to compose,
00:29:09all these feelings to put into music,
00:29:11how do you get it all out fast enough?
00:29:13Ooh, another hard question.
00:29:16Um, well, deep breaths, first of all.
00:29:19And I always carry this notebook everywhere I go.
00:29:24I've always written down things that mean something to me.
00:29:28Home, family, relationships, this town.
00:29:33How about you? What do you write about?
00:29:35Similar things.
00:29:37School, friendships, family, the good parts,
00:29:42and, you know, the tough parts.
00:29:46That's actually what gives me the better lyrics,
00:29:49the tough parts.
00:29:51Whenever I can't think about what to do next
00:29:54or the world seems scary or too big,
00:29:58I take all that inspiration and I write it down,
00:30:01as much as I can.
00:30:05Well, when Charlotte gets inspired,
00:30:07she can't help but show it.
00:30:09Oh, let's give our guest, yes, a round of applause.
00:30:14Thanks, guys.
00:30:15Remember, tomorrow night's tree lighting.
00:30:17Your bandmate Hadley is playing some of her songs,
00:30:20so come and support.
00:30:22Good luck. Thank you.
00:30:31That was really nice what you said to Hadley.
00:30:34It's been a hard year.
00:30:35Yeah, she and her mom have been through a lot.
00:30:38It'll be nice to see them in their new house.
00:30:40She's so driven.
00:30:42I just wish I could do more.
00:30:54Honey, the band room's free if you want to work a bit.
00:30:57And I can get the toys back on my own.
00:30:59No, don't be a stranger.
00:31:00Thank you, Mrs. Quinn.
00:31:02Thank you. Patty.
00:31:08Wow, your mom has reindeer playing horns.
00:31:12I'm guessing it's a little more festive
00:31:14than your typical army base.
00:31:15Oh, you'd be surprised.
00:31:17Some bases like decorate, exchanging gifts,
00:31:20skyping with families, singing carols.
00:31:23And you?
00:31:25Oh, I don't like to celebrate that much when I'm deployed.
00:31:28I like to pretend that something is
00:31:30what I hope it is when it isn't.
00:31:35Right.
00:31:37That makes sense.
00:31:40I'll see you later.
00:31:42Sure.
00:31:54Morning, Mom.
00:31:56Morning, sweetheart.
00:31:58What time is it?
00:31:59Almost 11.
00:32:00Coffee's in the kitchen.
00:32:01You worked really late.
00:32:03Well, the good thing is I got most of my songs done.
00:32:06Oh, good.
00:32:07I feel really good about getting back in the studio.
00:32:09I can finally take a breath.
00:32:10Oh, uh, hello.
00:32:13I just stopped by to drop off some tools
00:32:15your dad left at the house.
00:32:16And, well, next thing I know, I'm wearing an apron.
00:32:19Well, I guess you're stuck with us.
00:32:21You ready to do some baking?
00:32:23I mix, Eric presses, Glenn bakes,
00:32:26and you join Charlotte on decoration duty.

00:33:11And we are gonna need more tins.
00:33:13Oh! Oh, I know. There's some in the closet.
00:33:15See ya.
00:33:16Oh, I hope there's enough this year.
00:33:20So, what's, uh, what's the story?
00:33:22You still on the fence about going back?
00:33:24Yeah, and I'm trying to keep my family
00:33:26out of that discussion for a while.
00:33:28Plus, I'm still waiting for the final interview,
00:33:30so I'm not even sure if I'll get it.
00:33:32Man, whatever decision you make,
00:33:34it's gonna be the right one, okay?
00:33:36And, uh, by the way, you probably noticed
00:33:39I've been spending some time with your sister,
00:33:42and, you know, I-I just...
00:33:44Hey, hey, you're both adults,
00:33:46which means it's none of my business.
00:33:48I know, but you know how guys can get a little weird.
00:33:50Matt, you're one of my closest friends.
00:33:52I honestly don't care what happens
00:33:54between you and my sister if it makes you both happy.
00:33:57Hey, some heavy snow fell off the trees.
00:33:59I'm gonna go shovel the walk real quick.
00:34:01I got it, Dad.
00:34:02Shoveling snow is actually
00:34:03one of the things I missed overseas.
00:34:05It's okay.
00:34:06I actually need the fresh air.
00:34:08You can supervise.
00:34:09I... fine.
00:34:11Help me back up.
00:34:12I really should start getting ready.
00:34:14I need to be there pretty soon
00:34:15to make sure that Hadley is all set for playing tonight.
00:34:18Uh, are you two okay with packing things up?
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22Perfect.
00:34:23Great.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:25Wow, that's a lot of reindeer cookies, huh?
00:34:26Mm-hmm.
00:34:27Yeah, the reindeer are always my job.
00:34:28There's, um, Dasher, Dancer,
00:34:30Comet, Cupid, Prancer,
00:34:32Vixen, Donner, Blitzen.
00:34:34Hmm.
00:34:35I think, uh, you got the order wrong.
00:34:37Well, no, it's not Christmas yet, you see,
00:34:39so they're not, like, lined up to drive Santa's sleigh.
00:34:41They're just still roaming around
00:34:43in their little reindeer cookie corral.
00:34:45Right.
00:34:46Right, right.
00:34:47Like, there's, um, uh, Snowflake and, uh, Dave.
00:34:50Dave.
00:34:51Dave.
00:34:52Can't forget Dave.
00:34:53Um, and, uh, Jingle Bell and...
00:34:55Oh, I mean, how could we forget?
00:34:57It's, um...
00:34:58It's Candy Cane Rudolph's mom.
00:35:00Candy Cane, right.
00:35:01Right.
00:35:02That's good, Rudolph's mom.
00:35:03See, never too many reindeer cookies.
00:35:08I'm just gonna help Mom get some things at the band room.
00:35:10I'll, uh, see you at the tree lighting?
00:35:12Yeah, looking forward to it.
00:35:16Ah.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:21Oh, hey.
00:35:22Um, uh, why did Dad just ask me
00:35:26if I was sure about taking over for him?
00:35:28Did you say something?
00:35:30Uh, no, not really.
00:35:32Not really?
00:35:33He was talking about his retirement,
00:35:35and I asked about his future plans, and...
00:35:37Charlotte, I asked you not to talk to them about it.
00:35:39Look, technically, I didn't say a word.
00:35:41Come on, we both know he's gonna retire,
00:35:43and now with the house paid off, he has more options.
00:35:46Right, but I don't.
00:35:48I can't just show up and pay off a house.
00:35:51That's not fair.
00:35:53I didn't mean it to sound that way. I'm sorry.
00:35:55No, I should have thought about how this was gonna affect you.
00:35:58Look, you did an amazing thing for them,
00:36:01and I want to do the same,
00:36:03but also, I have to make this decision for me.
00:36:06I haven't even had the final interview yet,
00:36:08and, well, please just let me handle this my way.
00:36:12I promise.
00:36:15You bet.
00:36:28It sounds great.
00:36:30How do you feel?
00:36:31Ready, excited, and nervous.
00:36:34Isn't that the best feeling, though?
00:36:36No matter how long I've been doing this,
00:36:38I still get butterflies in my stomach before a show,
00:36:40but it's a good thing.
00:36:42It means you care about it.
00:36:43Just remember to keep your hands warm,
00:36:45remember to stay focused, and mostly...
00:36:47Remember to have fun.
00:36:51See you later.
00:36:52Good luck. Bye.
00:36:54Oh, she reminds me of you.
00:36:57Oh, precocious and overly confident?
00:37:01Smart, driven, knows who she is,
00:37:05and can't wait to get out of town.
00:37:08Well, that's...
00:37:09Mom, I never wanted to get out of town.
00:37:12I meant eager to start doing what's important.
00:37:15I love that both you and your brother
00:37:17have left to pursue your dreams.
00:37:19I really do.
00:37:21It's just tough sometimes
00:37:23to have you both back only during Christmas,
00:37:27which makes the holiday
00:37:29both special and a little bittersweet.
00:37:35It's my fault.
00:37:36I know I should try to come home more...
00:37:38No, no.
00:37:39Honey, that is not what I meant.
00:37:41I am so proud of both of you for what you are doing.
00:37:45I'm proud of you that you're doing what you love,
00:37:48and I'm proud of Eric for serving our country
00:37:51and now taking over for your dad.
00:37:57Come on, let's go write a tree.
00:38:00laughs
00:38:22applause
00:38:27Thanks, everyone.
00:38:30Before we light the tree,
00:38:32I just wanted to...
00:38:35Well, as many of you know,
00:38:38we lost my dad last year when we moved here,
00:38:43and my mom decided to sign up
00:38:45to seek help from Operation Homefront.
00:38:48Well, that was a hard decision,
00:38:51but I'm proud of her for it.
00:38:54This town seems to have all come together
00:38:57and helped make us a home.
00:38:59And on behalf of my mom and I,
00:39:02I just wanted to say thank you.
00:39:04It's been the best Christmas we could have ever imagined.
00:39:08applause
00:39:13Now, without further ado,
00:39:15I've been asked to lead the countdown.
00:39:18So...
00:39:205, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:39:26applause
00:39:33Before you go, I also wanted to say
00:39:36I'm so grateful to have gotten to meet Charlotte Quinn.
00:39:39And maybe she'd want to come up here and sing a song for us?
00:39:44Well, no, this is her concert.
00:39:48It's not about me.
00:39:49It's about the town and the pride they all feel for you.
00:39:53Come on. Okay.
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:57applause
00:40:01Okay, first of all, how amazing is Hadley Alvarez?
00:40:04Let's give her one more round of applause.
00:40:06applause
00:40:08Okay, okay.
00:40:09I would be honored to sing a song,
00:40:11but only if you'll play for me.
00:40:13Do you know Oh Christmas Tree?
00:40:15Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:40:17guitar plays
00:40:20Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
00:40:25How lovely are your branches
00:40:30Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
00:40:34How lovely are your branches
00:40:39In beauty green we'll always grow
00:40:44Through summer sun and winter snow
00:40:48Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
00:40:53How lovely are your branches
00:40:58applause
00:41:06Okay.
00:41:08applause
00:41:11Uh, Taylor Robb, everyone.
00:41:14applause
00:41:17Um, can I, can I talk to you for a second?
00:41:20Okay, what was that?
00:41:22I'm sorry about the surprise.
00:41:24What, what are you doing here?
00:41:25What? You're not happy to see me?
00:41:27No, well, I mean, you just, you showed up out of the blue.
00:41:30Is everything okay?
00:41:31Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
00:41:32It's just, um, can we go talk somewhere?
00:41:36Yes, yes, come on.
00:41:38Okay, so, first of all, wasn't that fun?
00:41:41We're just so good on stage together.
00:41:43You're stalling. What's going on?
00:41:48So here's the deal.
00:41:52I'm not as good without you.
00:41:55We both know that.
00:41:56Taylor, come on. That's not true.
00:41:58Every song I've written in the last few years,
00:42:00you've been right there to tell me how to make them better.
00:42:03You inspire me.
00:42:05Would you stop? You are great on your own.
00:42:07And if I'd been that helpful,
00:42:08I would have asked for songwriting credit.
00:42:13Strongest woman in country music.
00:42:15All women in music are strong.
00:42:17We have to be.
00:42:18Look, I know you want to stop doing appearances together
00:42:21because it drives speculation,
00:42:23but I also know the label wants you to do
00:42:26the country home Christmas special with me, and...
00:42:29And you came all this way just to ask...
00:42:31Do the show with me, Charlotte.
00:42:33It'll be fun, I promise.
00:42:35Let them speculate. Who cares?
00:42:37It's not just the speculation.
00:42:39I was leaving town a few days before Christmas.
00:42:42I just finished so many songs,
00:42:43and now we'd have to write another one,
00:42:45and then leaving my family.
00:42:47Now... I...
00:42:49Oh. Hey.
00:42:51Oh. Matt.
00:42:53Hi. I was just, uh, just doing a coffee run.
00:42:56This is my friend, Taylor.
00:42:58Nice to meet you.
00:42:59Hey. Any friend of Charlotte's is a friend of mine.
00:43:02Taylor and I were on tour together.
00:43:04He just came to see about that gig I was telling you about.
00:43:07Right. Right.
00:43:12Oh, wow. Looks like there's a bit of a line.
00:43:14I'm gonna go make sure we have all the supplies
00:43:16for the present-wrapping event, so...
00:43:18Okay, let me know if you need any help.
00:43:20I will. Thank you.
00:43:22Nice to meet you, Taylor.
00:43:29Looks like I just met the reason
00:43:31you want to hang around a little longer.
00:43:33Would you stop? He's a friend.
00:43:36Besides, we lead completely different lives.
00:43:43Can I get back to you on the show thing?
00:43:45I just... I need to think about it.
00:43:48Of course. I'm staying at the Inn in town,
00:43:50so you know where to find me.
00:43:52Okay. Thanks.
00:43:57Whew. Wow, that was unexpected, huh?
00:44:00Taylor showing up out of nowhere.
00:44:03What's going on? Did something happen?
00:44:05Um, my final interview was scheduled.
00:44:08I was telling Mom and Dad about it.
00:44:11Congratulations. I know you were waiting for that.
00:44:13You knew about this?
00:44:15Wait, is that why you talked to me about retirement?
00:44:17No, I'm sorry, Dad. We didn't...
00:44:20I wanted to have all the information before we talked.
00:44:23We appreciate that.
00:44:25We just... well, sweetheart,
00:44:28you often make these decisions rather quickly.
00:44:31We just want to make sure that you have considered all the...
00:44:34I know this is all new information for you guys, really,
00:44:36but I've thought a lot about it,
00:44:38and I think this is a decision I have to make for myself.
00:44:41We understand.
00:44:43It's just we're a little shocked is all.
00:44:46You'll just have to trust me on this, okay?
00:44:49And until then, let's enjoy the Big Sky Christmas at the Legion,
00:44:53the neighborhood lights, the cookies, all of it,
00:44:56as a family, okay? Yeah.
00:44:58All right.
00:45:04Good night.
00:45:06Good night, son.
00:45:24Morning. Hey.
00:45:26The place looks great, guys.
00:45:28Aw, thanks.
00:45:32We're almost finished with everything.
00:45:34Well, I thought I would make my contribution.
00:45:39Wow. Thank you.
00:45:43So I, um, didn't really get a chance
00:45:46to talk to you about Taylor yesterday.
00:45:48You don't have to explain anything.
00:45:50I feel like I do.
00:45:52Charlotte, we're just two people getting to know each other,
00:45:54and I say we should just trust one another
00:45:57and leave it at that.
00:45:59Okay, works for me.
00:46:01Good. Do you want to go to the American Legion Hall
00:46:03and wrap some toys? Sure.
00:46:05Yeah? Good.
00:46:07Oh, I forgot.
00:46:09Dad wanted to bring a tree here, too.
00:46:11Oh, great.
00:46:13All right, okay.
00:46:17Loose proofs. What do you think?
00:46:19Oh, wow. We can get it?
00:46:21Yeah, thanks. Here, I'll take that.
00:46:25Okay.
00:46:31So when's the interview?
00:46:33Uh, tomorrow, in Missoula.
00:46:35I'm just wondering if I should blow it off, though.
00:46:38What? No, no, no.
00:46:40Go see what it's all about, and then make your decision.
00:46:45You're still hanging with this goofball?
00:46:47He's not a goofball. Talk to the dog.
00:46:50Not gonna lie,
00:46:52I was skeptical that dogs would help do anything.
00:46:54I know treatment is important,
00:46:56but getting out of the house,
00:46:58the affection...
00:47:00I get it.
00:47:02What?
00:47:06Gretchen? Wow, you were right.
00:47:08Montana is gorgeous.
00:47:10I've been trying to call you about the concert.
00:47:12What are you doing here?
00:47:14Want to tell her?
00:47:16I know you wanted to spend more time with your family,
00:47:18so I thought it made more sense
00:47:20to do the country home Christmas special here.
00:47:23Wait, you mean bring the whole show here?
00:47:25No, no, no, no.
00:47:27They'd send a satellite crew, and when it's time for us to sing,
00:47:29they would cut to us live from Canyon Pass.
00:47:32The label loves the idea.
00:47:34You've already told them.
00:47:36It's your call. What do you say?
00:47:49Well, yes, it means you can spend more time with your family,
00:47:52but once it's announced and the news crews start showing up
00:47:55and you've got songs to finish...
00:47:57Actually, my writing has never been better.
00:47:59I guess I forgot that this is what I used to write about.
00:48:03When I'm here without the lights and sound,
00:48:05it's... it's pretty easy.
00:48:08Hey, are there any organizations we could partner with?
00:48:11For what?
00:48:13I was thinking a portion of my album
00:48:15could go toward a scholarship fund or something.
00:48:17Okay, I can't wait outside any longer.
00:48:19I've got to know. Are you in?
00:48:22Okay. Fine.
00:48:24Call the label, say we'll do the show here,
00:48:26but being here is important to me.
00:48:29I actually want to enjoy my Christmas,
00:48:31and there's a toy wrapping event
00:48:33that I promised to help out at today, so...
00:48:35How about we join you? We can talk through the song,
00:48:37maybe get a little press.
00:48:39And don't forget, I am the present wrapping queen.
00:48:43Hmm.
00:48:47I tell you, you've never seen someone
00:48:49tear into a Christmas present so fast.
00:48:51She was like a tornado.
00:48:53And over in the corner, there's Eric.
00:48:56Slowly folding my wrapping paper.
00:49:02Oh, uh, should we go get more presents?
00:49:04Sounds good.
00:49:08Your family's really great.
00:49:10I can tell they all really love each other.
00:49:12Yeah. We had a pretty rough day yesterday, though.
00:49:16Yeah, Eric told me.
00:49:18I think the hardest part is not knowing
00:49:20where he's deployed half the time.
00:49:22Yeah, it's one of the hardest parts for families.
00:49:24Last year around Christmas, he told my parents
00:49:27he'd be gone for 48 hours on a mission.
00:49:30Seven days went by without a word.
00:49:33It was the longest week of our lives.
00:49:36I'm sorry. You guys had to go through that.
00:49:39We're lucky that he returned.
00:49:42A lot of families...
00:49:45aren't.
00:49:48All right, let's wrap some presents.
00:49:50Yes, we should.
00:49:54So has Charlotte told you the news?
00:49:56Oh. What?
00:49:58We got the Christmas special. Oh.
00:50:00Taylor was just telling us about the special coming up.
00:50:03You have to write an original Christmas song together?
00:50:06Yeah, we do, but there's plenty to write about.
00:50:08Home for the holidays, Christmas with your folks.
00:50:11More of the first one than the second one.
00:50:13Do you not spend Christmas with your parents?
00:50:15Not really.
00:50:17I come from a family of five boys.
00:50:19Doctor, doctor, dentist, doctor,
00:50:23and then me, a country singer.
00:50:25Not a lot of conversation left with the parents after that.
00:50:28But they can be tough, even on the phone.
00:50:30I mean, Matt, how often do you call your parents?
00:50:35I'd do anything to talk to them again.
00:50:39Oh.
00:50:41Sorry, I...
00:50:43No, it's okay. Really.
00:50:45Sometimes the holidays is tough for that,
00:50:48but I keep busy,
00:50:50and, well, this year the Quinns have invited me
00:50:52to just about anything, so...
00:50:54You're welcome any time, Matt.
00:50:56Thanks, sir.
00:50:57Channel 7? Perfect.
00:50:59Wait for me right over there, and I will bring her right over.
00:51:03Channel 7 is here, and they would love to do an interview.
00:51:05It's starting already, isn't it?
00:51:07We have to make a big deal, or nobody will watch.
00:51:10Actually, they just want Charlotte for this one.
00:51:13Hometown angle, you know?
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:23So, when was the last time you talked to your family?
00:51:27It's been a while.
00:51:29My family doesn't fully understand that
00:51:31entertaining people has value.
00:51:34I thought if I got more famous,
00:51:36this would help them see that it's a real job.
00:51:41Well, I've been a daughter, and I've been a mom,
00:51:45and I can tell you that none of us stay the same.
00:51:48Parents have a hard time seeing that.
00:51:51So you're saying I should cut them some slack?
00:51:54I'm saying, don't forget,
00:51:57they change and grow just as much as you.
00:52:00I'm sure they would love a phone call.
00:52:03I appreciate that.
00:52:06All right, I'll be back tomorrow in time for Big Sky Christmas.
00:52:10Okay, well, remember to call us once the interview is over
00:52:12and let us know how it went.
00:52:13I will, and be sure to let us know when you're on your way home.
00:52:15I promise.
00:52:16All right.
00:52:17So, bye.
00:52:18Bye.
00:52:20Bye.
00:52:26Good luck. Drive safe.
00:52:31Oh, thanks for joining us, Matt.
00:52:33I told him he had no choice.
00:52:35I'm happy to be invited.
00:52:37Hey, guys.
00:52:38Oh.
00:52:40Well, it looks like we have company.
00:52:42You two go ahead, and we'll catch up with you later.
00:52:44All right. See you.
00:52:45See you.
00:52:47Well, looks like it's just you and me.
00:52:50Feel like going for a stroll through the neighborhood?
00:52:53Absolutely.
00:52:54Lead the way.
00:52:55Sure.
00:52:59You made any decisions about your job yet?
00:53:02Well, I applied for four, I've been offered two.
00:53:06Oh, get a load of you.
00:53:08Well, it's nice to have options.
00:53:10I'll make a decision sometime soon.
00:53:12Hey.
00:53:13Merry Christmas.
00:53:15So, do you think you'll settle back here?
00:53:18Can you pass?
00:53:19Maybe.
00:53:21Things are going so fast for me right now.
00:53:24I'm just kind of going along for the ride.
00:53:27Don't get me wrong.
00:53:28I'm really grateful.
00:53:30But, yeah, it'd be nice to just sit by a fire and wear comfy socks.
00:53:37Not have to worry about the photographers.
00:53:40I guess right now I'm just trying to keep a balance.
00:53:45Never so busy making a living that you forget to live.
00:53:48Hey, there you go.
00:53:49Quoting Dolly Parton again.
00:53:50Well, hey, I don't trust anybody who doesn't love Dolly.
00:53:54Merry Christmas, Charlotte.
00:53:56Hey.
00:53:58Does everyone here know everybody else?
00:54:00Mm-hmm. Just about.
00:54:02Wow.
00:54:03Charlotte.
00:54:04Hi. I'm from Celebrity Today.
00:54:06Hi.
00:54:07Wondered if I could shoot a quick interview.
00:54:08Oh, I'm sorry, but it'll only take a few minutes, I promise.
00:54:11Just wanted to get a comment on the upcoming Christmas special.
00:54:13You heard what she said, so why don't you just...
00:54:15You know, it's fine. I'll answer a couple questions.
00:54:18Just no photos or videos right now, okay?
00:54:20Works for me.
00:54:24Thanks.
00:54:25So, I just wanted to get your inspiration on the upcoming concert.
00:54:27Sure. I'm super excited.
00:54:29We have 16 dates lined up across the country.
00:54:31And don't worry.
00:54:32I put the word out to the press to give you a little more space over the next couple of days.
00:54:36It's Christmas for heaven's sake.
00:54:37Thanks, Gretchen.
00:54:38Okay. See you tomorrow.
00:54:45Hey.
00:54:46Hey.
00:54:47You really handled yourself well with reporters.
00:54:50I'm sorry.
00:54:51I tried to pull a knight in shining armor on you.
00:54:53No, you were just trying to help.
00:54:56I've just learned that the best thing to do is to set a boundary,
00:54:59give them a quote, and move on.
00:55:03Just things are so different now.
00:55:05You know, when we met, you were so nervous to play in front of the town.
00:55:09Seems like a lifetime ago.
00:55:11I'm still kicking myself for not asking for your number.
00:55:14I don't feel too bad about it.
00:55:15I probably wouldn't have given it to you.
00:55:17Ouch.
00:55:18Yeah, and you were shipping out an hour later.
00:55:19I mean, who gives their number to that guy?
00:55:21Solid point.
00:55:24You can have my number now.
00:55:27Um, no.
00:55:28No, it's okay.
00:55:29I'm going to be off touring soon.
00:55:31It just doesn't make any sense.
00:55:34Kidding.
00:55:35Kidding. Okay.
00:55:37I would love to have your number.
00:55:45Um, I should probably get some sleep.
00:55:49I have a big day tomorrow.
00:55:50Right.
00:55:51Writing with Taylor and Reindeer Games.
00:55:56Oh, thank you.
00:56:04Night, Tra.
00:56:06Night.
00:56:30Oh, don't stop because of me.
00:56:33That was beautiful.
00:56:35The school lets me rehearse here on weekends and school breaks.
00:56:37I didn't know you'd be here.
00:56:39I was supposed to meet Taylor, but he sent a text that something came up.
00:56:43You are really dedicated.
00:56:46It's inspiring.
00:56:48It's hard to believe I'd be inspiring to you.
00:56:52Well, it's true.
00:56:53It's Christmas break, and you're finding time to write songs in...
00:56:56What was that? G?
00:56:57G major?
00:56:58All the best Christmas songs are in major keys.
00:57:01Do you know how to play every instrument in here?
00:57:04A lot of them, yeah.
00:57:05No wonder my mother loves you.
00:57:07Let's do this.
00:57:14I figured you weren't answering your text because you were writing.
00:57:17Oh, sorry.
00:57:19I was going to head down to Big Sky Christmas for the Reindeer Games.
00:57:22Well, I should probably get going.
00:57:24Sure.
00:57:25Hey, that was fun.
00:57:26Hadley, you were really good.
00:57:28That means a lot.
00:57:31See ya.
00:57:32Bye.
00:57:44Oh, hey, look who it is.
00:57:46How'd the interview go?
00:57:47Great, actually.
00:57:48Yeah, I think I said all the right things.
00:57:50We'll see what happens.
00:57:51Great.
00:57:52Fingers crossed, buddy.
00:57:53Thanks.
00:57:54All right, gang.
00:57:55Last thing we need to do is clear a few tables and chairs from outside,
00:57:58and we are all set.
00:57:59Great, let's do it.
00:58:02Hey, Jesse.
00:58:03What's up?
00:58:04Oh, hi.
00:58:06How's it going?
00:58:07Good.
00:58:08Are you all right?
00:58:09Me?
00:58:10Great.
00:58:11Sure.
00:58:14We'll see you outside.
00:58:16See ya, buddy.
00:58:20I went through the same thing, Jesse.
00:58:23Coming home can be rough.
00:58:25No matter how long you're back, I can still follow you.
00:58:29I appreciate that.
00:58:34I've been talking to a therapist.
00:58:36Good.
00:58:37Still, none of this is easy.
00:58:39Well, that's why you have us.
00:58:41We're here for each other.
00:58:43Always, that's the deal.
00:58:46You know, some days are gonna be harder than others.
00:58:49Some days you're not gonna know what to do.
00:58:51Those are the days that you lean on the people you love.
00:58:55I know.
00:58:56It's just...
00:58:58I...
00:59:01It's like he knows exactly when I need him.
00:59:06I don't know how they do it.
00:59:07Yeah, that's true.
00:59:09I've always felt they know what you're feeling before you even do.
00:59:12They're amazing animals.
00:59:14Think you'd be interested in adopting him?
00:59:17Well, I would.
00:59:19But I think everyone knows that it's you two who really belong together.
00:59:25Now, come on.
00:59:26Let's go start those reindeer games, huh?
00:59:33Hey, guys.
00:59:37Hi, everyone.
00:59:38As most of you know, tomorrow night we will be having the key ceremony for the Alvarez family.
00:59:46And the good men and women from the American Legion Hall decided this year's reindeer games will pass the hat to get them some more decorations.
00:59:53So, thank you.
00:59:56So, they just called and offered me the job.
00:59:59What? Eric, that's great.
01:00:01Did you give them an answer?
01:00:02Not yet, but I think I'm gonna take it.
01:00:05I want to talk to Mom and Dad again and consider it some more, but...
01:00:09Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
01:00:12All right, so the first race is a relay.
01:00:15The teams of four.
01:00:16Two people on one side, two people on the other.
01:00:18One person puts on the reindeer costume on top of your clothes, please.
01:00:23I got Matt and Dana to do the relay with me.
01:00:25You want to be on my team?
01:00:27I'm always on your team.
01:00:28They run to the other side, touch the other teammate, they'll put their reindeer costume on, run to the other side.
01:00:34The first team to cross all four people on the finish line win.
01:00:37You got it?
01:00:38Got it.
01:00:39All right, let's do this.
01:00:40All right, go on.
01:00:43Okay, let's count them down with a big ho, ho, ho.
01:00:46Ho.
01:00:47Ho.
01:00:48Ho.
01:00:49Ho.
01:00:52Wait, Eric, if you take the job, when do you leave?
01:00:54I need you to focus, Charlotte.
01:00:56Focus?
01:00:57Oh, yeah, okay.
01:00:59Run, run, run.
01:01:04Hi.
01:01:05Hi.
01:01:06Great job at giving instructions, by the way.
01:01:08You are much better at speaking in front of people than you let on.
01:01:11Oh, well.
01:01:12Competition, people.
01:01:13Keep your head in the game.
01:01:15Okay, I got it, got it.
01:01:16All right, you got this, Dana.
01:01:17Okay, here it is.
01:01:18Ready?
01:01:19Go, go, Dana, go.
01:01:24Ah!
01:01:25Wow, you're glowing.
01:01:27Well, look at this.
01:01:28When everyone came out to help another family.
01:01:31Oh, this town.
01:01:33Come on, Eric, let's go.
01:01:34Go, go, go.
01:01:47Okay, now.
01:02:00Um, you run a good race.
01:02:02So do you.
01:02:04Um, I know we're both going back to our different places, but...
01:02:10Couldn't we...
01:02:12I mean, what if we just tried...
01:02:14I've been thinking about this, too.
01:02:17Charlotte.
01:02:18Oh, there you are.
01:02:20Everything okay?
01:02:21Yeah, yeah.
01:02:22Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you guys.
01:02:23No, it's okay.
01:02:25Mind if we meet up later to talk?
01:02:28Uh, yeah, sure.
01:02:29How about the jug and fiddle around seven?
01:02:32All right, I'll see you then.
01:02:35Yeah.
01:02:40You do realize we're supposed to rehearse.
01:02:42Taylor, we're live tomorrow.
01:02:43I took your advice.
01:02:45I called my folks.
01:02:46I'm sorry I flaked.
01:02:48Uh, no, um, that's okay.
01:02:51I'm proud of you.
01:02:53Couldn't have been easy.
01:02:55It wasn't at first, but the more we talked, the more we started to listen to each other.
01:03:00I just, I kept thinking about your family and how much you all love each other,
01:03:05and I guess I forgot how important that is.
01:03:10Especially now, this time of year.
01:03:13I'm happy for you.
01:03:15I really am.
01:03:17And it looks like I'm going to be spending Christmas with them, and I'm leaving tonight.
01:03:22They're in France, so I had to find a flight that would get me there.
01:03:25Wait, tonight?
01:03:26Taylor, the show is tomorrow.
01:03:28They really only want you, Charlotte.
01:03:32The producer told me that if I could get you to perform, then I could do a song with you.
01:03:37I'm sorry.
01:03:38I should have told you that part sooner.
01:03:42It's okay.
01:03:44I am proud of you.
01:03:59Hey, Mom.
01:04:00Oh, you're early.
01:04:02I heard you were with your guitar last night.
01:04:03Oh, sorry.
01:04:04Did I keep you up?
01:04:05No.
01:04:06I slept better.
01:04:07It was nice.
01:04:08Just like when you were in high school.
01:04:09Tried to write an original Christmas song in one night, if you can believe that.
01:04:12Did you pull it off?
01:04:13No.
01:04:15Too stressed.
01:04:17Taylor left town.
01:04:18I still don't know what I'm going to sing on live TV.
01:04:21The label is waiting for my songs.
01:04:23I just don't know what I'm going to sing.
01:04:25I still don't know what I'm going to sing on live TV.
01:04:26The label is waiting for my songs.
01:04:28I just...
01:04:29I mean, I love what I do, Mom, but sometimes I don't know how to keep doing it.
01:04:34Honey, when you were a little girl, do you remember singing your brother to sleep?
01:04:41You were three, or maybe four.
01:04:44And your brother would start crying, and you would wander in, look into his crib, and sing the only songs you knew.
01:04:52Christmas carols.
01:04:53Spring, summer, fall, it didn't matter.
01:04:55Jingle bells, Silent Night, all of your favorites.
01:04:58I've always loved a Christmas classic.
01:05:02Oh, I don't know.
01:05:03I guess I just thought that being back home would help inspire me.
01:05:08My advice?
01:05:09Use the feeling that's in your heart while you're around.
01:05:16There it is.
01:05:17There's the look.
01:05:18I don't know what idea popped into that mind of yours,
01:05:22but I'll bet it's a big one.
01:05:28Thanks, Mom.
01:05:32Good morning.
01:05:33Hey.
01:05:34I think I got all the...
01:05:35Oh, thank you.
01:05:36You're a lifesaver.
01:05:37I think I got all the approval forms you asked me for.
01:05:40And I spoke to Taylor.
01:05:41How'd it go?
01:05:42Oh, I told him I thought this was a professional mistake to skip out on this opportunity.
01:05:47But also a mistake I was in favor of on a deeply personal level.
01:05:53You ready?
01:05:58Good morning.
01:05:59Who's excited to move into their new house tonight?
01:06:01So excited.
01:06:02Think you can make it to the party after the broadcast?
01:06:05Well, that's actually what I asked you all to meet me here about.
01:06:08See, I've been thinking about how great all this has been to watch.
01:06:11The house, the toys, the...
01:06:15everyone coming together, and...
01:06:18I thought, what if, instead of doing the live feed from across the street,
01:06:22we performed at the key ceremony?
01:06:24You mean?
01:06:25When the country Christmas special cuts to May,
01:06:27I sing the song live to millions of people in front of your new home.
01:06:32Can you do that?
01:06:34The special wants me to feature my family and people from my hometown.
01:06:38If we can do that and get to show off how this town comes together...
01:06:41Plus, Operation Homefront should get as much press and eyeballs as it can,
01:06:45so I'm in if Dana's in.
01:06:48Oh, and one more thing.
01:06:51I want another guitarist to join me and my band on stage.
01:06:54So, Hadley, I wondered if you'd want to come up on stage
01:06:59and play the song we worked on together yesterday.
01:07:01Okay, this is news I did not know about.
01:07:04Well, you can make it happen, right?
01:07:05Clear it with the people and...
01:07:07Is this something that you want to do?
01:07:09Yes, yeah, I'd love to.
01:07:11As long as Dana agrees.
01:07:14Yes, absolutely, yes.
01:07:16Well, looks like we have work to do.
01:07:28Hey, thanks again for all the...
01:07:31Oh, Charlotte.
01:07:33I know that neither of us are in a place where it's reasonable to get involved,
01:07:38but I wanted you to know where I stood.
01:07:42By kissing me in my office?
01:07:48Wait, what's happening?
01:07:51Are you packing?
01:07:53No, I'm not packing.
01:07:55Wait, what's happening? Are you packing?
01:07:59I, um...
01:08:01I made a decision about the next job.
01:08:04Oh.
01:08:08Well, that's a good thing, right?
01:08:11Oh, and Charlotte, I'm going to...
01:08:13Oh, sorry.
01:08:15I can come back.
01:08:16No, no, it's fine.
01:08:19Right, um...
01:08:20We'll talk later tonight.
01:08:24Okay.
01:08:28I'm not quite sure what I just saw happen in there,
01:08:30but I really do like that guy.
01:08:32More importantly, I don't know how the show's going to respond to the changes,
01:08:35or the label for that matter.
01:08:36The label will be fine.
01:08:37I have all the songs I need to start after the new year.
01:08:39I just need one more Christmas song.
01:08:41Oh, and there's one more favor I'll ask of you for today.
01:08:44What favor is that?
01:08:46You remember how I said I wanted to find a way to give back?
01:08:49Yes.
01:08:50Let that snow fall
01:08:55Cover up this town
01:08:59How does it feel to you?
01:09:01Honestly, it's kind of my favorite Christmas song now.
01:09:04Well, you play it beautifully.
01:09:05Yeah, but it's your voice.
01:09:07Yeah, and it's your music.
01:09:08You should be very proud.
01:09:11All right, should we go get ready?
01:09:13I'll see you there.
01:09:21Gretchen, hello. Any news from the label?
01:09:24Sorry, but we got bigger fish to fry right now.
01:09:26I just texted you an article.
01:09:31Oh, Gretchen, you've got to be kidding me.
01:09:33He was just saying goodbye.
01:09:35It doesn't matter. That photo is all over the internet.
01:09:38Okay, I've got to go.
01:09:40What are you going to do?
01:09:42What else?
01:09:43Damage control.
01:09:51Matt, I need to talk to you.
01:09:54Hi, Charlotte. Let me go first.
01:09:57This past week with you has been amazing.
01:10:01Even though the excitement in your world is, well, a little more than I'm used to.
01:10:05Matt, I need you to know there's a photo that a reporter took of Taylor and me last night.
01:10:10I know about it.
01:10:12And you're not upset?
01:10:14Not at all.
01:10:16You told me the truth about you two, and I believe you.
01:10:24That being said, I'm not sure how we can make this work.
01:10:30I think before we get hurt, we just need to face reality.
01:10:34I'm going to be seeing more of you in the news than in person.
01:10:37Matt, we don't know yet what this would mean.
01:10:40Believe me, as much as I want to make this work,
01:10:44I don't think we should just jump into something we're not sure about,
01:10:47just because of a feeling.
01:10:50This is what you really want?
01:10:52I think right now we should just focus more on our careers.
01:10:58This life of yours.
01:11:00I'm not sure if I can handle it.
01:11:04Merry Christmas, Matt.
01:11:08Hey.
01:11:14Hey.
01:11:30So I thought I'd bring her by and introduce her.
01:11:33Her name's Cass.
01:11:34Oh, look at that sweet face.
01:11:37Well, hello to you.
01:11:39But I still don't understand. Who does she belong to?
01:11:42Well, hopefully you and Dad.
01:11:44Eric and I got to talking and...
01:11:45And for all the ways we're good at being a family, I figured we'd expand it some.
01:11:50But the final decision is up to you, hon.
01:11:57Welcome home, Cass.
01:12:04You brought home a dog.
01:12:06Someone has to live in our old room.
01:12:08Yeah, but now they have a dog they're going to love more than us.
01:12:13So I'm going to take the job.
01:12:19I know you want to retire, and at some point we have to start giving back.
01:12:24Is that what you think?
01:12:25You guys both sacrificed so much for us.
01:12:28You think we mind it?
01:12:30You listen to me, both of you.
01:12:33Your dad and I will always be fine.
01:12:35But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to give back in some way.
01:12:38The only thing you need to do to give back to us is go out and live your lives.
01:12:44I just don't want you guys to have to worry.
01:12:46That's not up to you.
01:12:47And yes, it can be scary sending someone you love out into the world.
01:12:52Especially you, who sees danger and runs right at it.
01:12:58I learned that from you, Dad.
01:13:00Yeah.
01:13:09The family that cries in the corner together is the family that everyone stares at.
01:13:16All right, guys, should we go?
01:13:17Yeah.
01:13:18Let's do it.
01:13:20Looks like Matt needs a pep talk.
01:13:23I don't think I'm the right person for the job.
01:13:26No?
01:13:27You two aren't going to...
01:13:29No.
01:13:31That's a shame.
01:13:32You guys look like you made each other happy.
01:13:34I think at the end of the day, we were both just realists.
01:13:38Okay, producer's here, camera's here.
01:13:41We'll do an announcement for Operation Homefront and then throw to you.
01:13:44Anything else?
01:13:46Hey, you got this.
01:13:51Thanks.
01:13:53Okay, I'm good.
01:13:54Okay.
01:13:55Oh, the other thing we talked about.
01:13:57Already set up.
01:13:58You can make the announcement whenever you're ready.
01:14:00Great.
01:14:05There you are.
01:14:07We thought you ditched town.
01:14:09I wish.
01:14:11So does Koa, apparently.
01:14:13You're keeping that dog, right?
01:14:15Looks that way.
01:14:16I guess I was the last one to know we belonged together.
01:14:18I'm glad.
01:14:19You guys make a good team.
01:14:23I better take him for a walk before he cancels his adoption papers.
01:14:30How's the speech coming?
01:14:32You know, I speak in front of people all the time, but this is live TV.
01:14:36This is a lot different.
01:14:37Relax, you're going to be great.
01:14:39Thanks.
01:14:41Oh, hey, they told me you took the job.
01:14:43Congrats, man.
01:14:47And what about you?
01:14:48I hear you may be running away.
01:14:51Wait, are we talking about Charlotte now?
01:14:53Like it or not, that's what the whole town is talking about.
01:14:56Yeah, you see, that's the problem.
01:14:58Charlotte is a country music star.
01:15:00People are always going to talk about her.
01:15:02So what?
01:15:03She told you how she felt about you.
01:15:05She wanted to make it work, right?
01:15:06Okay, hold on.
01:15:07Hey, hey.
01:15:08If an opportunity presents itself and it's the one you want, you go towards, not away.
01:15:13Didn't you once tell me that?
01:15:14Yeah, that was different.
01:15:16Fine, how about this?
01:15:18What does your gut tell you it wants?
01:15:23Hey, Matt, five minute warning.
01:15:25So just lead in with some information about the key ceremony and then you can introduce Charlotte.
01:15:29Got it.
01:15:30Okay, great.
01:15:31Thanks.
01:15:34Thanks.
01:15:56Hey.
01:15:57Hey.
01:16:00Nervous?
01:16:01Yeah.
01:16:05But not about the show.
01:16:11I, um, I don't need this anymore.
01:16:26I have all the luck I need.
01:16:29I found you, didn't I?
01:16:39I should have taken the chance back then.
01:16:41I won't make that mistake the second time.
01:16:44Matt, are you sure?
01:16:49Okay, we're ready for...
01:16:52Really, guys?
01:16:55Yeah.

01:19:10And it's another year before we get it back
01:19:13So let Christmas
01:19:18Hang around, yeah
01:19:26Warming up by the fire
01:19:30Sipping on a little cider

01:20:23Whoo! Yeah!
01:20:29Charlotte.
01:20:30Oh, wow, that was so fun.
01:20:33Oh, we are not nearly done.
01:20:35What do you mean?
01:20:36Well, I'd love for our song
01:20:38to be featured on my next album.
01:20:40You just got your first writing credit.
01:20:42Wait, for real?
01:20:43For real.
01:20:44And congratulations, Hadley Alvarez.
01:20:48You are the first recipient
01:20:49of a new scholarship fund
01:20:50I am launching as of today.
01:20:52That should help you out with Juilliard.
01:20:59You're welcome.
01:21:03Merry Christmas.
01:21:05Merry Christmas.
01:21:07Wow, I can't believe this.
01:21:10You're good at this.
01:21:11Well, I have a good team.
01:21:19You changed that kid's life.
01:21:22I've always wanted
01:21:23to start a scholarship fund.
01:21:25It's a really good idea.
01:21:27Yeah, it is, isn't it?
01:21:29Yeah.
01:21:31Now I just need someone
01:21:32to rent it for me.
01:21:34You, uh, you know anybody?
01:21:38I think I might know a guy.
01:21:40What are the job requirements?
01:21:42Well, he has to be kind
01:21:46and thoughtful.
01:21:48That he is.
01:21:50He has to care for others
01:21:52more than himself.
01:21:54He does.
01:21:56He has to be a very good listener.
01:21:59And that he is.
01:22:02And he's gotta be cute.
01:22:05Like, really, really cute.
01:22:08Really cute.
01:22:10Well, congratulations.
01:22:13I think your search is over.
01:22:16It's about time.
