Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You
00:00:31Buenos dias!
00:00:33Don't tell me you fell asleep in here again!
00:00:36How long has it been since you've actually put on your pajamas and slept in your bed?
00:00:40You truly are a godsend.
00:00:42I'm serious, Charlotte. You can't live like this. It's not healthy.
00:00:47Well, I don't have time to sleep.
00:00:49Okay, sales are slowing down.
00:00:51I have to create a new collection quick before everyone just forgets about Alistair altogether.
00:00:56Every luxury brand is slowing down right now.
00:00:59It's inflation. Prices are too high for people.
00:01:02But that doesn't change the fact that I haven't created anything new or worthwhile since April.
00:01:06Well, it's probably very hard to get inspired when you don't go out and socialize with humans every now and then.
00:01:12Hey, I socialize. I talk to you every day.
00:01:16I'm your seamstress. You literally pay me to talk to you every day.
00:01:21Are you sure there's nothing in here?
00:01:23Nothing. Everything I draw looks more like loungewear than luxury.
00:01:28There's nothing wrong with loungewear.
00:01:30There is when you own a luxury boutique and you pride yourself on exclusive and cutting-edge clothing.
00:01:36Point taken.
00:01:38Shall we go open?
00:01:41Choose first, please, before we go downstairs.
00:01:59Did you get more silk, by the way?
00:02:02We need to make more of those gold tunic pieces.
00:02:05Unfortunately, the price went up.
00:02:07120 a yard?
00:02:08120? Are you kidding?
00:02:10That's going to put us way over budget.
00:02:12The cost of being a luxury designer.
00:02:14Not to mention the rent's going up in January.
00:02:16Do you have to leave me for two whole weeks?
00:02:19Yes.
00:02:20Some people spend their holidays with their families.
00:02:22It's a very strange concept, I know.
00:02:24Speaking of which...
00:02:28Hi, Mom.
00:02:29Oh, Charlie, you picked up.
00:02:31What's up? Is everything okay?
00:02:33Oh, everything's fine. It's great, actually.
00:02:36Christina and Peter's place is still under renovation,
00:02:38so they're going to be staying here until the new year now.
00:02:41It's going to be a full house for the holidays.
00:02:44Yeah, sounds cozy.
00:02:46So, if you have time, you can come over.
00:02:50Yeah, sounds cozy.
00:02:52So, if you have time in your busy schedule to come by for a night or two,
00:02:57we thought it would be really special for us all to be together.
00:03:01Maybe watch some movies, play some games, like old times.
00:03:05Mom, you know I'd love to, but I'm just too busy right now.
00:03:08I need to be here to man the store.
00:03:10You can't close for a few days?
00:03:12Mom, we've talked about this.
00:03:14If I close the store, then I could miss a customer,
00:03:16and every customer matters right now.
00:03:18I know, I know.
00:03:20I just thought I'd try.
00:03:22It would have been so nice for us all to be together for the last year of Elf Capades.
00:03:26I know. Maybe next year.
00:03:28Wait, did you say the last year of the Elf Capades?
00:03:31Mm-hmm. I thought I told you.
00:03:33What? No, why is it the last year?
00:03:35Dee Dee?
00:03:36Charlie.
00:03:37Tell her I say hi.
00:03:38Oh, Rick says hi.
00:03:40Honey, I've got to go. Rick and I are going cross-country skiing.
00:03:44Please, just think about making the trip, okay?
00:03:47I'll make your favorite ginger loaf.
00:03:50Maybe next year.
00:03:51I'll talk to you later. Love you.
00:03:53Love you too, Char.
00:03:54Bye.
00:03:57What?
00:03:58You're seriously not going home for Christmas because you're afraid you're going to miss a customer?
00:04:02You do realize 80% of our sales come from the website, right?
00:04:05Well, someone has to be here for the other 20.
00:04:09Is there some other reason you're avoiding going home, or you're just a complete scrooge?
00:04:13I'm not a scrooge. I'm just focused.
00:04:16I have worked really hard for 10 years trying to put Alistair on the map.
00:04:19I'm not slowing down now.
00:04:21If you say so.
00:04:22If you'll excuse me, I have a customer to attend to.
00:04:26Hi, welcome to Alistair. Is there anything I can help you with?
00:05:04Great. Just great.
00:05:09No water.
00:05:11Yes, we're hoping to have a spring collection ready for New York Fashion Week in February.
00:05:16Absolutely. Yeah, we'll work right on that.
00:05:20Can I call you right back?
00:05:23Charlotte, finally.
00:05:26What is happening here?
00:05:32Why are my garments completely drenched?
00:05:34It's the pipe burst. It's an old building. It was bound to happen.
00:05:37Bound to happen?
00:05:39This is my livelihood. I need to sell these in order to pay you rent.
00:05:43Well, don't you have any extras in the back?
00:05:45Extras? No, we are a boutique. Each garment is hand-stitched and one-of-a-kind.
00:05:51That's not very efficient.
00:05:53This is a disaster. How long is this going to take to clean up?
00:05:56Well, the plumber said there is significant damage,
00:05:58so you're going to have to close up and leave for the next week so I can take care of it.
00:06:02A week? Are you kidding me?
00:06:04Do I look like I'm kidding you?
00:06:06Where am I supposed to go?
00:06:08Well, don't you have friends and family you can stay with? What about staying with Margot?
00:06:11I'm renting out my place while me and my family are in Colorado.
00:06:15I'm sorry, Charlotte, but unless you want to live in a place with no running water for the next week,
00:06:18you better figure it out.
00:06:23It's ruined.
00:06:28Sorry.
00:06:30I'm so sorry, Charlotte.
00:06:32I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:06:34I don't have the money to replace all this fabric.
00:06:37This is a catastrophe.
00:06:39We'll figure it out.
00:06:41I don't know if Alistair is going to bounce back from this.
00:06:44Come on, we just have to pray for a Christmas miracle.
00:06:48Aren't you Jewish?
00:06:50Okay, fine. A Hanukkah miracle.
00:06:52I'll pray for you.
00:06:53We just have to pray for a Christmas miracle.
00:06:56Aren't you Jewish?
00:06:58Okay, fine. A Hanukkah miracle.
00:07:00Either way, I believe in miracles.
00:07:03Especially this time of year.
00:07:05Well, that makes one of us.
00:07:07Oh, maybe this is the insurance.
00:07:10Hello?
00:07:12Yes, this is her.
00:07:14Uh-huh.
00:07:16Wait, what?
00:07:18Warwick's Christmas Challenge?
00:07:20But I never applied...
00:07:24Tomorrow?
00:07:26Uh, yes.
00:07:28Two o'clock?
00:07:30Okay, great.
00:07:34Did you submit Alistair for the Warwick's Christmas Design Challenge?
00:07:38Did you just get accepted?
00:07:40They said one of their designers had to drop out for personal reasons,
00:07:43so they're looking at me to fill the spot.
00:07:45I have a meeting with Roger Warwick tomorrow to discuss details.
00:07:48What?
00:07:50That's amazing!
00:07:51You could be the next Donna Karan!
00:07:54I can't believe you applied without telling me.
00:07:57I knew the word Christmas would turn you off.
00:08:00You're so talented, Charlotte.
00:08:02The world deserves to see what you can do.
00:08:05Christmas garb or otherwise.
00:08:08We loved your brand right from the get-go.
00:08:11Fabulous designs, great social media.
00:08:14The reason we didn't choose you right away is that we felt
00:08:17your design style just didn't match this year's challenge.
00:08:21Oh?
00:08:23Why? What is the challenge this year?
00:08:25It's to design two holiday outfits.
00:08:28One for a female buyer, one for a male buyer.
00:08:31It's for a home and family brand.
00:08:33Home and family?
00:08:35Yeah, it's actually our most popular clothing division.
00:08:37It's affordable, it's inclusive, family-oriented.
00:08:40But I design luxury pieces.
00:08:43Exactly.
00:08:45We thought you might actually bring something special to this year's challenge.
00:08:48How much time would I have?
00:08:49So we do a fashion show Christmas Eve.
00:08:52Wow, that's eight days away.
00:08:55It is.
00:08:57And as you know, the winner gets their design sold
00:09:01in all of our stores right across the nation.
00:09:03As well, you continue to design for us for the entire year.
00:09:07Wow, really?
00:09:09That's incredible.
00:09:11So the only question is, are you up for the challenge?
00:09:14Because there's a lot of other designers here in New York City
00:09:17that would love to be sitting in your seat.
00:09:20No, I'm definitely interested.
00:09:22Fantastic.
00:09:24Here are the models that you will be designing for,
00:09:26and their specs are on the back of the picture.
00:09:30Great.
00:09:32Thank you so much.
00:09:34I will not disappoint.
00:09:36Nice to meet you, and we'll see you Christmas Eve.
00:09:38Excellent.
00:09:42Home and family.
00:09:44Wow, that's huge.
00:09:45I know, but he says he needs the designs to be
00:09:48festive, inclusive, affordable, and family-oriented.
00:09:52So, Alistair's polar opposite.
00:09:55Yep.
00:09:57But winning this competition would push my career to a whole new level.
00:10:00I'll design baby bonnets.
00:10:03I am desperate for a win.
00:10:05I'm so sorry, I can't even help you sew.
00:10:08That's okay, I only have to design two outfits.
00:10:10I think I can manage.
00:10:12So, when are you going home?
00:10:13What do you mean?
00:10:15What do you mean, what do I mean?
00:10:17You're not planning on staying here without water, are you?
00:10:20Well, no, but...
00:10:22But what, Charlotte?
00:10:24You're designing Christmas attire for home and family.
00:10:27Don't you think it might be beneficial to go spend Christmas
00:10:30at home with your family?
00:10:32It's just...
00:10:34It's just what?
00:10:38You're right.
00:10:40I can't afford an Airbnb at this time of year anyway.
00:10:43So...
00:10:45Work's been, it is, I guess.
00:10:48Hallelujah!
00:10:50This will be so good for you.
00:10:52I just know it.
00:10:56You know, this might be my favorite night of elfcapades.
00:10:59I mean, cookies, hot chocolate, Christmas carols, come on.
00:11:02Right, my kids are really going to miss it next year.
00:11:05Oh, tell me about it.
00:11:07I guess we'll just have to go all out for the next seven days
00:11:09and make Gregory Carmichael proud.
00:11:11You're here.
00:11:14Ah!
00:11:28I am so sorry.
00:11:30I... I was completely daydreaming and not paying attention.
00:11:35That's not ideal when you're behind the wheel of a vehicle.
00:11:38I know. I'm a little out of sorts today.
00:11:40I've been driving the past four hours from Manhattan.
00:11:43Ah, sitting around. That explains it.
00:11:46What's that supposed to mean?
00:11:48Were you texting?
00:11:50What? No.
00:11:52Stereotype match?
00:11:54Well, lucky for you, mine's okay.
00:11:57So you're just going to have to worry about your own year.
00:11:59Oh, come on.
00:12:01Oh!
00:12:04Well, that's a great start.
00:12:09Tell you what.
00:12:10Why don't you follow me to my shop and I'll take care of it?
00:12:13Your shop?
00:12:15I'm a mechanic.
00:12:17Oh.
00:12:19And here I was thinking your coveralls was a personal fashion choice.
00:12:22Follow me and I'll take you home after.
00:12:25I got this. Here, just watch out.
00:12:40Oh.
00:12:48I remember this place.
00:12:50This used to be Joe Segal's, right?
00:12:52Uh, you know, I don't know. It was vacant when I got here.
00:12:55I'm actually new to Brooks Bend.
00:12:57Oh, wow. So you actually chose to live here.
00:13:01Why?
00:13:03Because it's so welcoming and homey.
00:13:06Everyone here is really family and community focused.
00:13:08People have been so kind to me.
00:13:10I can't imagine why anyone would want to leave.
00:13:13Three words for you.
00:13:15New York City.
00:13:17Two words for you.
00:13:19Hard pass.
00:13:21Besides, I bet the city doesn't have 12 days of elf cabades.
00:13:24You ever heard of it?
00:13:26I grew up going.
00:13:28Really?
00:13:30I'm actually volunteering with the elf cabades this year.
00:13:33Are you on probation?
00:13:34No, I just like how it brings people together.
00:13:38What?
00:13:40Nothing. Just sounds like you're on an after school special.
00:13:44Wow.
00:13:46You really define the whole cold hearted city slicker stereotype here.
00:13:50Yeah, it's just not my thing anymore.
00:13:53It's a little too much Christmas.
00:13:56That's sort of the point.
00:13:58Well, as much fun as this is,
00:14:00we should get going before my mom sends out the authorities.
00:14:02Right, yeah. Let's get you home.
00:14:05Just have to get my bag.
00:14:07Oh, okay. Yeah.
00:14:23Thank you for the ride.
00:14:26No problem.
00:14:28And how long do you think the repairs will take?
00:14:30Oh, I don't just take repairs.
00:14:32I'll give you a couple days.
00:14:36Spencer.
00:14:38Spencer.
00:14:40Right.
00:14:42Well, Merry Christmas.
00:14:50Hello?
00:14:52Mom?
00:14:54Christina?
00:14:56Oh, Charlie.
00:14:58You're here. You're really here.
00:15:00I can't believe it.
00:15:02Well, I'm not in operation, so I think it's really me.
00:15:05Oh, you look tired. Are you getting enough sleep?
00:15:08Yes, I'm fine, Mom.
00:15:10Hey, Charlie.
00:15:12Hey, buddy. Look at you. You're so tall.
00:15:14How did that happen?
00:15:16Oh, it's called the passage of time.
00:15:18And I eat a little broccoli.
00:15:20That's it.
00:15:22Hi, Chris. Come here.
00:15:24Sorry, it's great to see you,
00:15:26but I had ten bucks down that you wouldn't show.
00:15:28I appreciate that, Pete. Thank you.
00:15:30Okay, who's ready to go?
00:15:32I'm going.
00:15:34What? Elf capades, silly.
00:15:36It's the cookie and cocoa crawl tonight.
00:15:38Dee Dee's is our first stop.
00:15:40Oh, well, you guys have fun.
00:15:42I have to unpack and start sketching,
00:15:44but we'll catch up tomorrow.
00:15:46What? Come on, this was always your favorite of the elf capades.
00:15:48I know, but I have a lot of work to do.
00:15:50This opportunity I have with Warworks
00:15:52is once in a lifetime, so I'm sorry.
00:15:54So you came all this way
00:15:56to just keep ignoring us for work?
00:15:58Christina.
00:15:59Are you sure you're just not scared
00:16:01of bumping into Evan?
00:16:03I told you not to bring that up.
00:16:05I can throw him out if he's there.
00:16:07Ben and I just got our blue belts in karate.
00:16:09Kyle!
00:16:11Well, that's very nice of you guys,
00:16:14but it's been four years.
00:16:16I think I can handle seeing him.
00:16:18Well, it would really mean a lot
00:16:20if you came, Charlie, even just for an hour.
00:16:22Please, Auntie Charlie?
00:16:24Ugh.
00:16:26All right, just give me a minute to unpack.
00:16:29Yay!
00:16:40Thanks for coming,
00:16:42and Merry Christmas.
00:16:44Ugh.
00:16:48Dee Dee?
00:16:50Well, look at all these wonderful faces.
00:16:53And you.
00:16:55I feel like we've met before.
00:16:57It's Auntie Charlie!
00:16:59Oh, my goodness, Charlie.
00:17:01Hi, Auntie Dee.
00:17:03I spy some gingerbread cookies
00:17:05at two o'clock.
00:17:07Get them while they're hot.
00:17:09Welcome home, kiddo.
00:17:12Oh, it's been way too long.
00:17:14It's a great turnout.
00:17:17You know, I wasn't sure what to expect,
00:17:19but so many people are still participating.
00:17:21It just keeps growing.
00:17:23Year after year,
00:17:25your dad would be delighted.
00:17:27But then why is it ending?
00:17:29Because of funding.
00:17:31I tried to stop them,
00:17:33but they had their minds made up.
00:17:35Something to do with allocating the money
00:17:37to a new community project.
00:17:39Well, that doesn't make any sense.
00:17:41I mean, the people love it.
00:17:43It's tradition.
00:17:45My dad wanted it to keep going.
00:17:47I know.
00:17:49We'll have to find a new way to honor him.
00:17:51Charlotte Carmichael.
00:17:53Oh, my God.
00:17:55I haven't seen you in ages, girl.
00:17:57Oh, Gwen, hi.
00:17:59It feels just like yesterday
00:18:01we were roaming around the hallways, huh?
00:18:03OMG, he's here.
00:18:06How does my hair look?
00:18:08Who's here?
00:18:10Oh, my God, is my makeup okay?
00:18:12How's my breath?
00:18:14It's very minty.
00:18:16Who are you...
00:18:18You.
00:18:20You.
00:18:22Hi, Spencer.
00:18:24Can I get you a cookie or a beverage?
00:18:26I'm okay right now, but thank you.
00:18:27Okay.
00:18:29If you need anything, just ask.
00:18:31I'm happy to be of service.
00:18:34I will.
00:18:36Yeah, for sure. Thank you.
00:18:41Well, that was interesting.
00:18:44Every single woman in town is after him.
00:18:47Wow.
00:18:49Lucky you.
00:18:51Have you decided who you're going to give
00:18:53the final rose of the night to?
00:18:55What can I help you with tonight, Dee?
00:18:57Well, you can either help serve with Gwen
00:19:00or decorate a new batch in back.
00:19:02Up to you, doll.
00:19:04I'll be in the back.
00:19:06Pleasure as always.
00:19:09How do you two know each other?
00:19:11I hit him with my car today.
00:19:13That's one way to meet new people.
00:19:15I'm going to slip into the back.
00:19:17Make yourself at home.
00:19:19Thanks, Dee.
00:19:25Oh.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:36You look like you just saw a ghost.
00:19:38A ghost of Christmas past, to be specific.
00:19:41An ex?
00:19:43Ding, ding.
00:19:45Yeah, that's one of the drawbacks
00:19:47about being in a small town.
00:19:49One of many.
00:19:51Here.
00:19:52Take your mind off it.
00:19:56I'm surprised to see you here.
00:19:58I thought Christmas wasn't your thing.
00:20:00Well, it's important to my family.
00:20:02My dad was actually the one
00:20:04who started the Elf Capades 30 years ago.
00:20:07You're kidding.
00:20:09Your dad was Gregory Conway?
00:20:13Well, that would make you Dee Dee's niece.
00:20:15You're the one she's always talking about,
00:20:18the big fashion designer in New York.
00:20:20I have to go.
00:20:22I don't know about a big fashion designer,
00:20:24but it's getting there.
00:20:26I'm actually a contestant
00:20:28in the Warwick's Design Christmas Challenge this year.
00:20:30And if I win, they're going to sell my designs
00:20:32in all their department stores.
00:20:34Wow, that's a big deal.
00:20:36Even I know Warwick's.
00:20:38The only problem is,
00:20:40is I have one week to design two holiday garments.
00:20:42It's just not enough time.
00:20:44You can do it.
00:20:46You have no idea how hard it is
00:20:48to design an original garment.
00:20:50Especially one that needs to be festive
00:20:52for a man slash woman.
00:20:54It's completely out of my comfort zone.
00:20:56I don't even know where to start.
00:20:58I do.
00:21:00Here.
00:21:02The Elf Capades.
00:21:04There's all the festive inspiration
00:21:06you could hope for,
00:21:08and from what I can tell,
00:21:10everyone who attends is super family focused.
00:21:12Yeah, especially all the single women
00:21:14when they look at you.
00:21:16Talk about being outside your comfort zone.
00:21:18I'm not really looking to be dating right now.
00:21:20You and me both.
00:21:23What?
00:21:25Why don't you come with me
00:21:27to the rest of the Elf Capades?
00:21:29You could get all the inspiration you need
00:21:31for your Warwick design,
00:21:33and you could be my buffer.
00:21:36Buffer?
00:21:38Really?
00:21:40What are you, 15? It can't be that bad.
00:21:42Spencer! There you are.
00:21:44What are you doing?
00:21:46Just doing a new batch for Dee Dee.
00:21:48Okay, well, hurry up.
00:21:50Someone found a mistletoe
00:21:52with your name on it.
00:21:54Um, yeah, he might be a while.
00:21:57He is a really slow decorator.
00:22:00No rush.
00:22:02We'll be waiting.
00:22:07Wow.
00:22:09Okay, you weren't lying.
00:22:11Please come with me.
00:22:14Okay, hear me out.
00:22:16I will go to the Elf Capades with you
00:22:18if you will be my personal model.
00:22:22Personal model?
00:22:24What does that mean?
00:22:26Well, you're about the same size as the model
00:22:28that I have to design an outfit for
00:22:30for the Christmas Eve fashion show in New York.
00:22:32And it would really help me to have a real person
00:22:34to try on the designs,
00:22:36see how they fit and look.
00:22:38So basically you want me to be a mannequin.
00:22:40Exactly.
00:22:42That feels degrading somehow.
00:22:45Oh, and using me as your personal buffer isn't?
00:22:48Good point.
00:22:50So we have a deal?
00:22:52Fine.
00:22:58My cookies look so cute.
00:23:00That's cute in mine.
00:23:02Look at this guy, cute as a button.
00:23:14Oh yeah, I cannot believe
00:23:16you're doing the rest of Elf Capades
00:23:17to help some random mechanic you just met.
00:23:20And when I ask, it's like pulling teeth.
00:23:22Well, it's not just to help him.
00:23:24I mean, he has a point.
00:23:26It might inspire my Warwick's design
00:23:28because as of now, I have nothing.
00:23:30What's that?
00:23:32It's a snow angel silk dress.
00:23:35What advice?
00:23:38Nix the silk.
00:23:40Christmas attire should be warm and cozy,
00:23:42not slippery.
00:23:44Well, what do you suggest?
00:23:45I don't know. Cotton?
00:23:47Cotton?
00:23:49That's so simple.
00:23:51Christmastime should feel simple.
00:23:53Two hot coffees
00:23:55and some fresh gingerbread cookies.
00:23:57Thanks, Auntie.
00:23:59I must say, Charlie,
00:24:01I haven't seen your mom this excited in years.
00:24:03Having you home for Christmas
00:24:05is the best gift
00:24:07she ever could have asked for.
00:24:09Yeah, well, I have a pretty busy week
00:24:11so I hope expectations aren't too high.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:15We'll try to keep them at bay.
00:24:18Wow.
00:24:20What?
00:24:22You're a real ball of holiday cheer.
00:24:26I used to love this time of year.
00:24:29Yeah, well,
00:24:31things change.
00:24:46Lasagna's ready.
00:24:48Can you take a break?
00:24:50Come eat with us?
00:24:52I don't think so.
00:24:54I have a lot of work to do still,
00:24:56but maybe tomorrow night.
00:24:58Okay.
00:25:00Well, don't work too hard.
00:25:02I'll be back.
00:25:04I'll be back.
00:25:06I'll be back.
00:25:08I'll be back.
00:25:10I'll be back.
00:25:12I'll be back.
00:25:13I'll be back.
00:25:15Well,
00:25:17don't work too hard.
00:25:28Welcome to the El Capaz Night Market.
00:25:30Don't forget your hot chocolate.
00:25:32Okay, so
00:25:34icy garlands with tinsel,
00:25:36Twinkly lights,
00:25:38candy canes,
00:25:40anything jumping out at you?
00:25:41a sea of people with very questionable fashion sense.
00:25:45Wow. Judgmental much?
00:25:47I'm sorry, but in New York City,
00:25:49if you wear pajama pants out in public,
00:25:51it is a very serious offense.
00:25:55I think it's endearing.
00:25:57Coming from the guy who wears a onesie every day,
00:25:59I wouldn't expect anything else.
00:26:00It's not a onesie. They are coveralls.
00:26:03Whatever. Same thing.
00:26:05Hey, come on.
00:26:07There is Christmas inspiration everywhere.
00:26:10Try to use that to your advantage
00:26:13rather than focus on the negatives.
00:26:15Fine.
00:26:19Isn't this great?
00:26:21Everyone's out, away from their screens,
00:26:23enjoying the magic of the season.
00:26:26You really love Christmas, don't you?
00:26:29You and my dad would have been best buds.
00:26:32I don't know. I just think there's something special
00:26:34in the air this time of year.
00:26:36Oh, no.
00:26:38You're not one of those lunatics
00:26:40that decorates in early November, are you?
00:26:44November 1st, my wife and I,
00:26:47we would go nuts and decorate the whole house.
00:26:50My neighbors thought we were crazy.
00:26:53You were married?
00:26:57Her name was Laura.
00:27:00She got sick a few years back.
00:27:02Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:27:05I'm so sorry.
00:27:07That is awful.
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:12That's why I decided to move to this place.
00:27:15Leave the past in the past.
00:27:21Don't you find it hard
00:27:24to celebrate Christmas without her?
00:27:27Yeah.
00:27:29But I don't think she would want me to avoid it
00:27:32just because she's not here.
00:27:35I don't know.
00:27:38Oh, man, she would have loved the off-capades.
00:27:44Oh, you son of a...
00:27:47What are you doing?
00:27:49My gosh, that's my ex over there.
00:27:51Being in this town is like living in a snow globe.
00:27:54Where is he?
00:27:56Green coat, red hat.
00:27:58Evan Miller?
00:28:00Evan Miller?
00:28:02Isn't he the mayor?
00:28:04Brooks Bend's youngest mayor ever elected.
00:28:07What is he doing here? Who is he with?
00:28:09Are they holding hands?
00:28:11Did you guys, like, just break up or something?
00:28:14Four years ago.
00:28:16Are you okay?
00:28:18Yeah, no, I'm fine. Everything's fine.
00:28:21It's not like we were engaged or anything.
00:28:24Engaged? Really?
00:28:27He broke up with me two months after my dad.
00:28:31He said he was...
00:28:33He said he needed space,
00:28:35and he was sick of taking the train to New York
00:28:38every other weekend.
00:28:40He abandoned me when I needed him most.
00:28:43Sounds like he dodged a bullet.
00:28:46Hey, let's get out of here.
00:28:48To where?
00:28:50Christmas Village, where we have to dress up like elves
00:28:53and prance around?
00:28:55Go, go, go.
00:29:09Oh!
00:29:11Why am I so bad at this?
00:29:13It's okay. You just...
00:29:15You just gotta focus, all right?
00:29:17Really focus,
00:29:19and don't let the outside world distract you.
00:29:22It's hard to not let all this flannel obscure my vision.
00:29:25Hey, watch it. Flannel is the greatest fabric on earth.
00:29:28Oh!
00:29:32Wow. Yeah, you're terrible.
00:29:34Hey!
00:29:37Thank you for bringing me here.
00:29:39The Christmas market has a lot of memories attached.
00:29:42Sometimes it's hard for me
00:29:44to be home this time of year.
00:29:46You said it yourself, you know?
00:29:48Sometimes it's best to leave the past in the past.
00:29:53How are you so good at this?
00:29:56I just pictured Evan's face.
00:29:59Oh, come on.
00:30:01Trust me, it works.
00:30:07Oh! See?
00:30:09I told you it works.
00:30:11Wow. I actually pictured your face.
00:30:13I hope that's okay.
00:30:15Whatever gets you through.
00:30:17I'm really sorry about your wife, Spencer.
00:30:20I'm sorry about your dad.
00:30:22Hi, Spencer.
00:30:28Wow. You really are the Clooney of Brooksbenton.
00:30:34Don't get weird about what I'm about to do.
00:30:36What are you doing?
00:30:38Getting them to mind their own business.
00:30:40Just look me in the eyes.
00:30:51Um, there you go.
00:30:53Yes, uh...
00:30:55I should get home.
00:30:57I have some sketches to do.
00:30:59Of course, right.
00:31:01Um, yeah.
00:31:02I got this.
00:31:03Oh, thank you so much.
00:31:04Here, let me help you with this.
00:31:08Good night.
00:31:09Night.
00:31:11Wake up, Aunt Charlie.
00:31:13Mom, what's that?
00:31:15Breakfast is ready.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:18You know, I think I'm going to skip breakfast today, Ben, okay?
00:31:20I'll just make a smoothie later.
00:31:22Well, Mom said that.
00:31:24You said that.
00:31:25I was allowed to jump on you.
00:31:28She said that?
00:31:30Huh.
00:31:31Oh, not the phone, man.
00:31:33Come on.
00:31:34Come on.
00:31:35Come on.
00:31:36Come on.
00:31:37Come on.
00:31:38Oh, not the phone, man.
00:31:40Come on.
00:31:41Will you come down for breakfast?
00:31:43Are you blackmailing me?
00:31:45I don't know what that means.
00:31:48I will be down in a sec.
00:31:50Just give me a few minutes to get ready, okay?
00:31:52Yay!
00:31:54Okay.
00:31:56Ready?
00:31:57It's mine.
00:31:58Oh, look who it is.
00:31:59How nice of you to join us.
00:32:01Yes, and thank you for sending up the human torpedo.
00:32:04That is me.
00:32:06Let me pour you a coffee.
00:32:08No, thanks.
00:32:09I got it.
00:32:12So, we were hoping you might be able to join us tonight for a Christmas-themed game tonight.
00:32:16Oh, I would, but I promised Spencer that I would go to the Elf Capades with him.
00:32:20That is tonight's Elf Capades.
00:32:22What do you mean?
00:32:23Everyone's encouraged to play a Christmas-themed game tonight with their family.
00:32:28So, you'll join us?
00:32:30Please, Aunt Charlie.
00:32:32Okay, sure.
00:32:34But I still have a ton of work to do, so however long we can have you, we'll have you.
00:32:40Was it something I said?
00:32:42She just really misses Dad.
00:32:43Okay, what do you think about this?
00:32:46So, picture this silver being extra shiny with tinsel fringe sleeves.
00:32:56It kind of looks like a disco ball.
00:32:59Okay, so retro.
00:33:01Retro is in.
00:33:04Dee, would you come here a sec?
00:33:08So, would you wear this with the tinsel?
00:33:13Honestly, probably not.
00:33:17Too flashy for little old me.
00:33:19Well, what do you like to wear during the holidays?
00:33:22Something simple, but comfortable.
00:33:25Modern, but also traditional and classic.
00:33:28You know what I mean?
00:33:30I'm trying.
00:33:35This is useless.
00:33:36Modern, but also traditional and classic?
00:33:39What does that even mean?
00:33:42I'm doomed.
00:33:44I think I know what she means.
00:33:46You do?
00:33:49Come with me.
00:33:50I gotta show you something.
00:33:52This is what she means.
00:33:54Come again?
00:33:56So, for the last two years, I've been restoring this old car.
00:34:01Finding parts, cleaning them, adding my own unique touches.
00:34:05But making sure that I protect all the things that make this car so special.
00:34:10And you know what I mean?
00:34:12You know what I mean?
00:34:14You know what I mean?
00:34:16You know what I mean?
00:34:18You know what I mean?
00:34:19You make this car so special.
00:34:21Alright, come sit.
00:34:37Wow.
00:34:39This is really beautiful.
00:34:40Right?
00:34:41Here, feel the leather.
00:34:45No, come on. Really feel it.
00:34:46Close your eyes.
00:34:47Seriously?
00:34:49Humor me.
00:34:53Feel that?
00:34:55All that history?
00:34:57Hmm.
00:34:59This car was made for the average American family.
00:35:03It's comfortable.
00:35:05Affordable.
00:35:07No frills, just classic.
00:35:09It's nostalgic, but still contemporary.
00:35:11I think your design can do the same.
00:35:19Too cheesy?
00:35:21No.
00:35:23Not at all.
00:35:25You just made me realize how much I miss that creative enthusiasm and passion that you have for cars.
00:35:33I used to get so excited to just sit and sketch and sew.
00:35:35You know, before profits or reviews mattered.
00:35:41I guess I just lost that joy somewhere along the way.
00:35:47Well, this is a great chance to get it back.
00:35:51What was your favorite Christmas tradition growing up?
00:35:55I don't know.
00:35:57Probably throwing snowballs at my sister.
00:35:59Come on.
00:36:01Not so much.
00:36:03What part of the holidays was always the most magical to you?
00:36:09Probably the pajamboree.
00:36:13Pajamboree?
00:36:15It's the last event of Elf Capades on Christmas Eve.
00:36:17People wear their pajamas,
00:36:19and there's music and dessert.
00:36:23And my dad would always make homemade pizza
00:36:25before we'd all pile into his tow truck and went.
00:36:27Your dad was a tow truck driver?
00:36:31You aren't the only guy roaming around town in coveralls.
00:36:35Anyway,
00:36:37that's what I look forward to the most.
00:36:41Pajamboree.
00:36:43I love it.
00:36:47Wait.
00:36:49What?
00:36:51I love it.
00:36:55Wait.
00:36:57Why don't you design a pair of pajamas for Warwicks?
00:36:59Pajamas?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:03Everyone loves a new pair of PJs at Christmastime.
00:37:09That's not a bad idea, actually.
00:37:11In fact, that's a great idea.
00:37:13Yeah?
00:37:15Definitely.
00:37:17It's genius.
00:37:19A matching pair of holiday pajamas
00:37:21for him and her.
00:37:23It's perfect.
00:37:25Thank you, Spencer.
00:37:27Happy to help.
00:37:31Hey, what are you doing later?
00:37:33Why don't you come over to our place for game night?
00:37:35I wouldn't want to impose.
00:37:37Don't worry.
00:37:39It's not an imposition. Seriously.
00:37:41And Didi will be there, too.
00:37:43You sure your family won't mind?
00:37:45I am positive.
00:37:47You're the merrier.
00:37:49Maybe we could even get in a game of Christmas Pictionary.
00:37:51Yeah, I mean, if you're okay with losing,
00:37:53we can definitely arrange that.
00:37:55I'm willing to take the risk.
00:38:01Oh, well.
00:38:03I better go help him.
00:38:09So, Mrs. Mousy said,
00:38:11thank you for the ride, Santa.
00:38:13I'll make sure to leave some gouda and milk
00:38:15under the tree for you.
00:38:17And that's how the magical Christmas mouse
00:38:19found his way home.
00:38:21The end.
00:38:23Again, again!
00:38:25Why don't you read it this time?
00:38:27No, you're better at the voices, Auntie Charlie.
00:38:29Hey, nobody does Mrs. Mousy like your mom.
00:38:31Hey, the truth hurts, sis.
00:38:33Deal with it.
00:38:37Oh, I'll get it.
00:38:41Welcome, you two.
00:38:43Here, take your coats.
00:38:45Thank you so much.
00:38:47Make yourself comfortable.
00:38:51Welcome.
00:38:55This house is incredible.
00:38:57Did you grow up here?
00:38:59Born and raised, but I was born in a hospital.
00:39:01Right.
00:39:03You know what I mean.
00:39:05Wow, these walls could talk.
00:39:07Kidding.
00:39:09I actually had my first kiss right over there.
00:39:11Hey, was it everything you hoped
00:39:13and dreamed it would be?
00:39:15No, it was terrible, actually.
00:39:19Wow.
00:39:21Adorable.
00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:25Pajamboree?
00:39:27You bet.
00:39:29Look at you. Flannel jammies.
00:39:31The horror.
00:39:33I have to admit, those are actually pretty comfortable.
00:39:35See?
00:39:37All right, everyone.
00:39:39Let's get started.
00:39:41Christmas Pictionary, your wish is my command.
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:45Okay.
00:39:47All right.
00:39:49Here we go.
00:39:51There's a ringing
00:39:53There's a magic tinkling
00:39:55Yeah
00:39:57Cries are singing
00:39:59Full of joy and happiness
00:40:01The stars are bright
00:40:03As we share a winter's night
00:40:05Here's to Christmas
00:40:07Oh, there's a knife for Christmas over the house!
00:40:09Here's to smiling
00:40:11Making snowmen in the street
00:40:13People driving
00:40:15Oh, safe drive, Spencer.
00:40:17It was so lovely to have you.
00:40:19Thank you for having me.
00:40:21We'll get them next year.
00:40:23Unlikely.
00:40:25Thanks for inviting me.
00:40:27Your family's awesome.
00:40:29Yeah, well, thank you for the game suggestion.
00:40:31I had a lot more fun than I thought I would.
00:40:33Now all I want to do is draw.
00:40:35That was the hope.
00:40:37Is that why you chose Pictionary?
00:40:39I thought it might help get you out of your head
00:40:41and reconnect with drawing just for fun.
00:40:45It did help.
00:40:47Good.
00:40:49Well, I expect three designs by 9 a.m. tomorrow.
00:40:51Yes, sir. On it.
00:40:53Okay.
00:40:55Well, good night.
00:40:57You too.
00:41:05Good night.
00:41:09Char?
00:41:11Char?
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:15Are you awake?
00:41:17What time is it?
00:41:19It's almost ten.
00:41:21When did you go to bed?
00:41:23I don't know.
00:41:25I just kept sketching.
00:41:27I had so many ideas bouncing around in my head.
00:41:29Looks like you may have found your muse.
00:41:31What do you mean?
00:41:33Do you know where my sewing machine is?
00:41:35It should be in the closet.
00:41:37Okay.
00:41:39Coffee's going to run out if you're not quick.
00:41:41I'll be down soon.
00:42:19I've done it.
00:42:21I have sketched five new designs.
00:42:23Five? That's amazing.
00:42:25Yeah, now I just need to figure out which ones are best.
00:42:27How do we decide?
00:42:29I have to make them first, obviously.
00:42:31And then, as my personal mannequin,
00:42:33I will need your help.
00:42:35What do you have in mind?
00:42:41Okay.
00:42:43Oh, wow, what about this?
00:42:45Like a Grinch moment, you know?
00:42:47No, that's not going to work.
00:42:49Okay.
00:42:51Oh, look at this.
00:42:53Oh, that's cozy.
00:42:55Oh, it's so soft.
00:42:57What do you think?
00:42:59All right.
00:43:03Great.
00:43:07Okay.
00:43:09Well, that's great.
00:43:11And then...
00:43:13No.
00:43:15All right, next step.
00:43:17What are you doing in there?
00:43:19Come out.
00:43:21I'm on my way.
00:43:23Okay.
00:43:25So?
00:43:27How does it feel?
00:43:29Feels good.
00:43:31Comfy.
00:43:33How does it look?
00:43:35It's a little bit loose in here,
00:43:37and it can be taken in a little bit at the waist.
00:43:39The length isn't quite right,
00:43:41and the collar needs some work.
00:43:43Okay.
00:43:45The collar needs some work.
00:43:47I'm not so sure about the fabric either,
00:43:49but for a first attempt, it's not bad.
00:43:51Just okay?
00:43:53Yeah, something isn't quite right,
00:43:55but, no, we're getting there.
00:43:57All right, but you're not discouraged, right?
00:43:59No.
00:44:01Actually, I'm quite inspired.
00:44:03Great. Told you the elf capades would inspire you.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:07Not so sure it's just the elf capades.
00:44:15Huh.
00:44:17Um...
00:44:19Hello?
00:44:21Uh, yes.
00:44:23Okay, yeah,
00:44:25I'll be right there.
00:44:27Duty calls.
00:44:29Yeah.
00:44:31Well, I'll see you at bingo tonight?
00:44:33I wouldn't miss it.
00:44:35Okay.
00:44:37I should probably change, right?
00:44:39Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
00:44:41No problem.
00:44:45Okay.
00:44:47Do you want a smokey eye or natural?
00:44:49Natural.
00:44:51I don't want it to seem like I'm trying too hard.
00:44:53Okay.
00:44:55What?
00:44:57Nothing.
00:44:59I just...
00:45:01I don't remember the last time you asked me to do your makeup.
00:45:03So?
00:45:05So you like him.
00:45:07Like who?
00:45:09Spencer?
00:45:11That's not such a bad thing.
00:45:13Yeah, I live in New York.
00:45:15Okay, relationships are hard enough without the long distance involved.
00:45:17Whatever you say.
00:45:19I just...
00:45:21I don't want you to miss out on something good
00:45:23because you're so focused
00:45:25on your job.
00:45:27What?
00:45:29Alistair isn't a job.
00:45:31It's my life.
00:45:35I just miss my sister.
00:45:37It's been
00:45:39four years since you've come home for Christmas.
00:45:43I know.
00:45:49Hey,
00:45:51do you remember when we used to have sleepovers
00:45:53in my room?
00:45:55We'd do each other's makeup
00:45:57and we'd stay up all night
00:45:59and talk about our crushes.
00:46:01Of course.
00:46:03We should do that again
00:46:05before I go.
00:46:07I'd love that.
00:46:09Okay, good.
00:46:11Good.
00:46:13How do I look?
00:46:15Perfect.
00:46:21Next up,
00:46:23I have Prancer.
00:46:25Ah, yes!
00:46:27Got that one. Sweet!
00:46:29Wow, you really want that
00:46:31giant elf bear?
00:46:33What? Ben would love it.
00:46:35Oh, sure.
00:46:37Ben.
00:46:39Okay, next we have
00:46:41Frosty the Snowman.
00:46:43Oh, I have that one, too.
00:46:45Okay, I just need mistletoe
00:46:47and then I win. These people are all going down.
00:46:49I love Christmas bingo.
00:46:51I think you just like winning.
00:46:53Uh-oh.
00:46:55Are you jealous of my superior
00:46:57bingo success?
00:46:59Hardly.
00:47:01The giant stuffy is all yours,
00:47:03to be honest. Elves creep me out.
00:47:05What? Yeah.
00:47:07Christmas is creeped out by elves.
00:47:09What a twist.
00:47:11Oh, don't even get me started on Elf on a Shelf.
00:47:13Chilling.
00:47:15I'll be right back.
00:47:17I'm just going to use the restroom. You're going to miss me win.
00:47:19I'll be quick.
00:47:25Hey, Charlotte. Oh, hey Gwen.
00:47:27I see you're here with Spencer.
00:47:29Yeah. Are you guys here
00:47:31together?
00:47:33Oh, um, I don't...
00:47:35You were just
00:47:37too cute, man.
00:47:39I'm going to go get us
00:47:41some more. Oh, no.
00:47:43Earth to Charlotte. Uh, what?
00:47:47All right. Next we have
00:47:49mistletoe.
00:47:51Bingo!
00:47:53Bingo. You got bingo. We got to go up.
00:47:55Go, go. Hurry.
00:47:57Well,
00:47:59come on up, you two. Let me check your
00:48:01sheets. Hey, Charlotte.
00:48:03Hi.
00:48:05Interesting to see you here, Evan.
00:48:07And why is that?
00:48:09Considering you're the one who took away funding,
00:48:11I didn't expect you to participate.
00:48:13Wait, you were the one
00:48:15who stopped the funding for Elf Capades?
00:48:17Well, there's more important things that need
00:48:19budgetary attention in this town.
00:48:21But you knew how important this event is
00:48:23to my family, to my dad,
00:48:25and to me.
00:48:27I know. I'm sorry.
00:48:29It just isn't a priority for me right now.
00:48:31Well, folks, it looks like
00:48:33there's a tie, but there's only one
00:48:35prize.
00:48:37It's fine. He can have it.
00:48:39Are you sure?
00:48:41I mean, that would be great. Jillian really wanted it.
00:48:43Who's Jillian? Oh,
00:48:45my beautiful new fiancé.
00:48:49The only way to deal with this
00:48:51unprecedented moment
00:48:53is the ultimate mistletoe
00:48:55tiebreaker.
00:48:57What is that?
00:48:59The first person to find someone to kiss them under the mistletoe
00:49:01wins.
00:49:07Jillian! Jill!
00:49:09I'm here. Hurry. Yeah, quick.
00:49:11Jilly-boop. Please. Quick. Please.
00:49:13Seriously? What are you doing?
00:49:15We need that creepy giant elf bear.
00:49:17All right.
00:49:27Charlotte Carmichael
00:49:29wins!
00:49:45Oh, you really
00:49:47saved my butt back there.
00:49:49Did you see the look on Evan's face?
00:49:51Priceless.
00:49:53Not all heroes wear capes, I guess.
00:49:55Just coveralls.
00:49:57Oh,
00:49:59I can't believe Evan
00:50:01is responsible for ending the elf capades.
00:50:03That was my dad's
00:50:05legacy.
00:50:07Didi's been doing everything she can to keep it going.
00:50:09She's heartbroken. That's not right.
00:50:11We need to save it.
00:50:13How?
00:50:15I don't know.
00:50:17I need to think of something.
00:50:19The elf capades is important to this town.
00:50:21It brings people together.
00:50:23I completely agree.
00:50:25I forgot
00:50:27how special the holiday season is
00:50:29in this town.
00:50:31I really feel like I'm home again.
00:50:33And I haven't felt that way in a long time.
00:50:35So, thank you.
00:50:37But I feel the same way.
00:50:41Well,
00:50:43good night, Spencer.
00:50:45Good night, Charlotte.
00:50:55They got the walk-in closet done?
00:50:57Oh, good morning, everyone.
00:50:59Good morning, honey.
00:51:01Oh, you look chipper.
00:51:03I feel chipper.
00:51:05Oh, yeah?
00:51:07Yeah. My designs are coming along.
00:51:09I'm actually excited for the elf capades tonight.
00:51:11Life is good.
00:51:13Charlotte Carmichael getting into the Christmas spirit.
00:51:15Never thought I'd see the day.
00:51:17Would this happen to have to do anything
00:51:19with a certain someone?
00:51:21I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:23Can I pour you a cup of coffee, Charlotte?
00:51:25Yes, Rick.
00:51:27That would be great.
00:51:31Aunt Charlie,
00:51:33are you in love?
00:51:35What?
00:51:37Love?
00:51:39Who said anything about love?
00:51:41Well, I heard Mom and Dad talking about
00:51:43how you seem like a smitten kitten.
00:51:45When are you going to learn
00:51:47to stop eavesdropping?
00:51:49Never!
00:51:51Well, we think he's perfect for you.
00:51:53Guys, relax, okay?
00:51:55It was just one kiss.
00:51:57You guys kissed?
00:51:59If I were you,
00:52:01I'd have breakfast at Dee Dee's
00:52:03before the interrogation.
00:52:05Good idea.
00:52:07I will see you guys later.
00:52:09No! No!
00:52:11Run, Charlie, run!
00:52:13Save yourself.
00:52:15Run!
00:52:21Hey!
00:52:25I am so sorry.
00:52:27Are you okay?
00:52:29Sorry, you startled me.
00:52:31I thought we were meeting up till later.
00:52:33What's going on?
00:52:35I just had some time off,
00:52:37so I thought I'd come check on my car.
00:52:39Oh, well, I got the parts,
00:52:41so should be done today.
00:52:43Radiator leak?
00:52:45Yeah.
00:52:47You gonna solder it?
00:52:49I'm sorry, who are you?
00:52:51My dad taught me
00:52:53all about cars.
00:52:55He didn't want me to get stranded
00:52:57in the middle of nowhere
00:52:59and not know the basics.
00:53:01Benefits of having a tow truck driver
00:53:03as a father.
00:53:05Exactly.
00:53:07So I was wondering if you could
00:53:09come by before the Elf Capades
00:53:11and try on a new design.
00:53:13It's almost Christmas Eve
00:53:15and I don't have everything I need.
00:53:17Are you gonna miss the Pajamboree?
00:53:19Well, the fashion show is at 2.
00:53:21I should be out of there by 3
00:53:23and should be able to make it in time.
00:53:25It's gonna be cutting it close,
00:53:27but I don't want to miss it.
00:53:29Great. I was, uh,
00:53:31hoping we could go together.
00:53:33Uh, yeah.
00:53:35I'd like that.
00:53:37Good.
00:53:39All right, well,
00:53:41I should let you get back to work.
00:53:43Yes. Thank you.
00:53:45Um, what time do you want to meet
00:53:47for the Elf Capades?
00:53:49Well, um...
00:53:51Let's do a change of plans.
00:53:53I'm gonna pick you up.
00:53:55I got a surprise for you.
00:53:57Spencer Dobbs missing the Elf Capades?
00:53:59Should I be scared?
00:54:01Maybe.
00:54:03Maybe not.
00:54:05Oh, playing the mystery card.
00:54:07I'm intrigued.
00:54:09Now get out of here. I gotta fix this car.
00:54:11Okay, okay. Bye.
00:54:13♪
00:54:25Why the long face?
00:54:27I don't know.
00:54:29Something's off.
00:54:31Not, like, the general idea,
00:54:33but it doesn't have the right feeling.
00:54:35What feeling are you going for?
00:54:37I don't know.
00:54:39Like how it felt when I was a kid.
00:54:41Hmm.
00:54:43I have something.
00:54:49Maybe...
00:54:51this will remind you.
00:54:53Hmm?
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:55:03We really did have
00:55:05the best Christmases, didn't we?
00:55:07Yeah, we did.
00:55:09And we still do.
00:55:11It's just a little different now.
00:55:15You'll get there, honey.
00:55:17Thanks, Mom.
00:55:19Maybe you just need to
00:55:21step away from this for a moment
00:55:23in order to see it more clearly.
00:55:25You know what?
00:55:27I could use a break.
00:55:29Now that's a good idea.
00:55:33Okay. Yeah.
00:55:39Okay.
00:55:45All right.
00:55:47Keep those eyes closed.
00:55:49Okay.
00:55:55All right, come on down.
00:55:57Keep those eyes closed.
00:55:59I'm right here.
00:56:03All right, watch out.
00:56:05I got the door.
00:56:07Come on forward.
00:56:09This is a lot like the beginnings
00:56:11of those true crime documentaries, you know.
00:56:13Come on, you trust me, don't you?
00:56:15Yeah, I do. I think.
00:56:17Okay.
00:56:19Open your eyes.
00:56:23Is...
00:56:25Is this...
00:56:27I found it on this dealer's site
00:56:29for people who like to restore old cars.
00:56:33I decided to buy it,
00:56:35but I don't know.
00:56:37I didn't feel right
00:56:39letting it sit there
00:56:41and get bought for parts.
00:56:45You're really amazing, you know that?
00:56:49What do you say?
00:56:51Worth hitting it?
00:56:55Come on.
00:57:05Come on.
00:57:17This looks exactly the same.
00:57:21I love these old
00:57:2390s radios.
00:57:25They don't make them like this anymore.
00:57:27And I wonder if we've still got some juice.
00:57:35Is it?
00:57:51Huh.
00:57:53No way.
00:57:55Are those his coveralls?
00:57:57Yeah.
00:58:06This is the greatest gift
00:58:08you could have ever given me.
00:58:17Can I ask you something?
00:58:19Yeah, of course.
00:58:23How come you haven't dated
00:58:25since...
00:58:29I know I need to get back
00:58:31into the dating game at some point.
00:58:36It's just...
00:58:40Somehow moving on just
00:58:42still felt wrong.
00:58:45You know?
00:58:48Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:58:54It's hard letting go.
00:58:58That's why I moved here.
00:59:01Is it helping?
00:59:06It's starting to.
00:59:32Chris.
00:59:34Wake up.
00:59:36What took you so long?
00:59:38It's 8 o'clock.
00:59:40Oh.
00:59:42Did you have a good time?
00:59:44I had the best time.
00:59:46I think you were right.
00:59:48I think I'm the spitting king.
00:59:52Tell me everything.
01:00:05Spencer.
01:00:07You're up early.
01:00:09Can I get you a coffee?
01:00:11That would be great, thanks.
01:00:13Everything alright?
01:00:15Yeah.
01:00:17No.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:21I, uh...
01:00:23I could use some advice, actually.
01:00:25What's going on?
01:00:27Well, uh...
01:00:29There's this person.
01:00:32I can't stop thinking about her.
01:00:34But I don't know what to do about it.
01:00:36Ah.
01:00:38So you've caught the feels.
01:00:40Yep.
01:00:42Does she know?
01:00:44And I don't know if I should tell her.
01:00:46How come?
01:00:48I don't know, Dee.
01:00:50Laura's been gone for almost three years,
01:00:52but it still feels wrong
01:00:55thinking about someone else.
01:00:57I'm worried that if I start falling for someone new,
01:01:00I'll forget about her entirely.
01:01:02Darling.
01:01:04Losing someone we love is a type of grief
01:01:06that never fully heals.
01:01:08Laura will always be a part of you.
01:01:11The love you two shared will never go away.
01:01:14But to cut yourself off from loving again,
01:01:16that's a true tragedy.
01:01:19And you're right.
01:01:21I'm sorry.
01:01:23I'm sorry.
01:01:25And you're right.
01:01:27If I could give you any advice,
01:01:29it'd be to tell this new someone how you really feel.
01:01:32I regret not telling my brother how much I loved him.
01:01:36Life is short.
01:01:38Don't waste it by withholding your feelings.
01:01:40There's never a right time.
01:01:42There's only now.
01:01:56Oh, Spencer. Hi.
01:01:58Hi, Olivia.
01:02:00Is Charlotte home?
01:02:02You bet. Come in.
01:02:04Okay, great. Thank you.
01:02:06She's just upstairs.
01:02:08Okay.
01:02:10The designs are all set.
01:02:12I just need to hem the sleeves.
01:02:14I can't believe you pulled it all off on your own
01:02:16in just six days.
01:02:18I'm so proud of you.
01:02:22I can't believe you pulled it all off on your own
01:02:24in just six days.
01:02:26Definitely wasn't all on my own.
01:02:28My friend Spencer Dobbs, who you'll meet,
01:02:30he was such a big help.
01:02:32I couldn't have done it without him.
01:02:34Oh, la, la.
01:02:36Who's this Spencer Dobbs you speak of?
01:02:38He's so great. You love him.
01:02:40He totally helped me get out of my head
01:02:42and reminded me why I love designing so much.
01:02:44And how much I love Christmas.
01:02:46Huh.
01:02:48When will I get to meet this boyfriend of yours?
01:02:50No, he is not my boyfriend.
01:02:52I mean, he's great, but Alistair's in New York.
01:02:54You're in New York.
01:02:56He's a local Brooks Bend mechanic
01:02:58who wears coveralls all day.
01:03:00I mean, it'll never work.
01:03:06I don't know. Maybe it could.
01:03:08He's pretty amazing.
01:03:10He reminds me a lot of my dad.
01:03:20Still haven't heard from him, huh?
01:03:22I hope he's all right.
01:03:24We were supposed to celebrate the pajamas being done.
01:03:26Oh, can I see?
01:03:32Oh, wow, they are so cute.
01:03:34Well done.
01:03:36Thanks.
01:03:38Maybe he just forgot and he's at his shop.
01:03:40You know how men can be.
01:03:42Spencer.
01:03:44Hey.
01:03:46Hey, what happened?
01:03:48I was waiting for you at Dee Dee's.
01:03:50Brought you a coffee.
01:03:52Busy's lit my mind.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:56She's all yours.
01:03:58Oh, thanks.
01:04:00Bye.
01:04:02Bye.
01:04:04Bye.
01:04:06Bye.
01:04:08Bye.
01:04:10Cheers.
01:04:12Are you okay?
01:04:14Oh, I'm fine.
01:04:16Are you sure?
01:04:18You seem a little off.
01:04:20Do I?
01:04:24Must be because I'm just a local mechanic.
01:04:26What?
01:04:30Heard you on the phone this morning.
01:04:32It's real nice, Charlotte.
01:04:34Wait, wait.
01:04:36Spencer, hang on.
01:04:38I can explain.
01:04:40No, it's okay. Don't bother. I get it.
01:04:42I'm just some small-town nobody
01:04:44and I'm not good enough for some big-shot fashion designer.
01:04:46It's okay.
01:04:48No, no, please, Spencer.
01:04:50I was just talking to my closest friend
01:04:52about how I wasn't sure if long distance would work.
01:04:54You clearly didn't hear the full conversation.
01:04:58I didn't need to.
01:05:00So that's it?
01:05:02One small misunderstanding
01:05:04and you just freeze me out?
01:05:06Charlotte, I can't be with somebody
01:05:08who cares more about their career
01:05:10than their family.
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:14I think you're just afraid to move on from Laura.
01:05:16Listen, I got a lot of work to do.
01:05:18Take your car and go.
01:05:20Spencer, could you just listen to me?
01:05:22Oh!
01:05:24Gosh, Charlotte, I'm so sorry.
01:05:26Let me...
01:05:28No, please.
01:05:30Here.
01:05:34Thanks, Spencer.
01:05:36I guess this last week together
01:05:38really was just a waste of time.
01:06:00That one.
01:06:06Yes!
01:06:08Okay, bring it out, bring it out.
01:06:10Okay, that's looking good.
01:06:12Hey, what are you guys doing?
01:06:14Oh, hi, honey. Come, sit.
01:06:16Yeah, just like old time.
01:06:18Is everything okay, Charlie?
01:06:20My name is Charlotte.
01:06:22Only my family calls me Charlie.
01:06:24Oh, honey, don't talk to him like that.
01:06:26And you're sitting in my dad's chair.
01:06:28Char.
01:06:30Don't.
01:06:32Don't what? Talk about dad?
01:06:34Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
01:06:36Excuse me?
01:06:38Ever since dad died,
01:06:40nobody even talks about him.
01:06:42Or mentions him.
01:06:44It's like he never existed.
01:06:46And now you have Rick replacing him
01:06:48like an actor in some bad sitcom.
01:06:50How would you know whether or not
01:06:52we talk about him? You're never here.
01:06:54We talk about him all the time, Charlotte.
01:06:56Just not when you come to visit
01:06:58because we don't want you to feel bad.
01:07:00Feel bad? About what?
01:07:04What? Tell me.
01:07:06Just be real with yourself for once.
01:07:08The reason why you're upset isn't because of Rick.
01:07:10It's because you feel guilty
01:07:12that you didn't come home
01:07:14when dad needed you most.
01:07:16Saving the elf capades isn't going to bring you back,
01:07:18Charlotte.
01:07:20You don't make time for people.
01:07:22And if you're not careful,
01:07:24you'll end up alone.
01:07:30Um...
01:07:32My car is fixed and
01:07:34my pajamas are completely ruined,
01:07:36so there's no need for me
01:07:38to stay here any longer than I have to.
01:07:40I'm going to head to New York
01:07:42for sync tomorrow.
01:07:44No, Charlotte, hold on.
01:07:54Hey.
01:08:12Hey.
01:08:14Hi.
01:08:16How are you?
01:08:20I was up all night.
01:08:22Don't go.
01:08:26I think it's better this way.
01:08:28I clearly make a mess of everything.
01:08:30I'm so sorry about
01:08:32what I said.
01:08:34It's just been hard these past few years.
01:08:36I know.
01:08:40I miss my little sister.
01:08:44No, I'm sorry, too.
01:08:46I've just been completely
01:08:48wrapped up in my own little world
01:08:50without a name for myself.
01:08:52You know, when Dad got sick,
01:08:54I just buried myself
01:08:56deeper in work.
01:08:58I couldn't face the truth.
01:09:02Everyone deals with grief differently.
01:09:06I just wanted to make you guys proud.
01:09:10To prove that I was capable of
01:09:12greatness.
01:09:14You didn't do that.
01:09:16At what cost?
01:09:18Spending a few times a year having no
01:09:20meaningful relationships?
01:09:22I wasn't even there at the end
01:09:24when he needed me most.
01:09:26Don't beat yourself up, okay?
01:09:30Dad knows how much you love him.
01:09:32No, Spencer was right.
01:09:34What do you mean?
01:09:38We got in this huge fight.
01:09:40I've ruined everything between us.
01:09:42Not to mention,
01:09:44tomorrow's Christmas Eve, and
01:09:46I don't have anything for the fashion show.
01:09:48So fix it.
01:09:50How?
01:09:52I don't know, but I'll help.
01:09:54I'm a pretty excellent sewer,
01:09:56in case you forgot.
01:10:00Come on. Dad wouldn't want you to give up.
01:10:02I just don't know.
01:10:08Wait.
01:10:12I have an idea.
01:10:16This?
01:10:18What do you think?
01:10:20I don't know. Okay.
01:10:28Try it.
01:10:32That's perfect.
01:10:34I love it.
01:10:36Let's do it.
01:10:40Charlotte.
01:10:42I'm so glad that you're here.
01:10:44We thought you left.
01:10:46Oh, Char, you're still here.
01:10:48Look,
01:10:50I know I haven't been the greatest sister
01:10:52or daughter or
01:10:54stepdaughter,
01:10:56but I want to try harder.
01:10:58I really want to be
01:11:00a part of this family.
01:11:02I just miss Dad.
01:11:04And sometimes
01:11:06it's really hard for me to accept that he's
01:11:08gone.
01:11:10It's hard for us, too.
01:11:12But he will always be a part
01:11:14of this family.
01:11:16No matter what.
01:11:18I know.
01:11:20And I'm sorry
01:11:22I've been so hard on you.
01:11:24I never wanted you to think
01:11:26that I was trying to replace your dad.
01:11:28I had great respect
01:11:30for him.
01:11:32He was a dear friend.
01:11:34I know.
01:11:36And you've been nothing but kind.
01:11:38And you've made my mom so happy.
01:11:40And I've been nothing but rude
01:11:42to you.
01:11:44And you don't deserve that.
01:11:46I hope you can forgive
01:11:48me.
01:11:50Of course, Charlotte.
01:11:52Call me Charlie.
01:11:54Oh.
01:11:56This really feels like a great hug.
01:11:58Hey.
01:12:00Yes.
01:12:02Oh.
01:12:04So, what's with all the new fabric?
01:12:06Oh, well, I'm going to make Christmas
01:12:08coveralls for the Warwick's fashion show.
01:12:10Each pair is going to come with its
01:12:12own embroidery set for each person
01:12:14to sew the name into, just like real coveralls.
01:12:16Nice.
01:12:18Isn't the fashion show tomorrow?
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:22Which is why we need all hands on deck.
01:12:24Ah, okay.
01:12:26What do we do?
01:12:28Okay, let's go.
01:12:38Mm-hmm.
01:12:48These are turning out great.
01:12:50I want a pair.
01:12:52Agreed. I'd actually
01:12:54wear these. Well, don't worry.
01:12:56By this time next year, you can all buy them at Warwick's.
01:12:58Oh, maybe.
01:13:00But either way, I'd be happy to make you each a pair.
01:13:02Mm-hmm.
01:13:04Well, the women's pair is pretty much done.
01:13:06Great.
01:13:08Is there anything else I can do?
01:13:10Uh, do you guys think we have time
01:13:12to make an extra pair of men's?
01:13:14Backup. Great idea.
01:13:16Actually,
01:13:18I had something else in mind.
01:13:20Here you go. Thank you.
01:13:22Wish me luck.
01:13:24Oh, we love you, Charlie.
01:13:26Aw, I love you guys, too.
01:13:28If you don't make it back in time
01:13:30for a pajamboree, don't worry.
01:13:32Just as long as we get you on Christmas morning.
01:13:34When you get back, mark my words.
01:13:36Okay. Thanks for everything.
01:13:38You got it.
01:13:40Here. And knock them dead, honey.
01:13:42Try.
01:13:44Bye. Bye.
01:13:54Hey.
01:13:56Hey.
01:13:58Uh,
01:14:00shouldn't you be on your way to New York?
01:14:02I wanted to give you this before I left.
01:14:08It's the new design.
01:14:12Thanks.
01:14:16And I just wanted to say
01:14:18that I'm sorry.
01:14:22This last week with you has been
01:14:24the happiest I've felt in a while.
01:14:28And I mean that.
01:14:32Anyway,
01:14:34if I don't see you later,
01:14:38Merry Christmas, Spencer.
01:14:42Merry Christmas, Charlotte.
01:15:02Merry Christmas.
01:15:04Merry Christmas.
01:15:30Charlotte.
01:15:32Can you take that?
01:15:34Thanks.
01:15:36Can't wait to see what you brought us.
01:15:38Oh, thank you, Roger.
01:15:40Um, I thought we were getting started at 2.
01:15:42You didn't get the e-mail?
01:15:44No.
01:15:46We pushed it to 3.
01:15:48But at this rate, it's probably gonna be more like 3.30.
01:15:50What? But it's Christmas Eve.
01:15:52I'm sorry, Charlotte.
01:15:54You know how these things go.
01:15:56You'll be out of here by 5.30,
01:15:58the latest.
01:16:00It's 8 o'clock, and it'll take four hours to get there.
01:16:02And Christmas traffic, it'll probably take longer.
01:16:04I'm sure your family will understand.
01:16:06Wow, will you look at these.
01:16:08These are great.
01:16:10I really can't wait
01:16:12for everyone to see them.
01:16:14Well,
01:16:16unfortunately, they won't.
01:16:18What do you mean?
01:16:22Would you guys mind going and taking these off
01:16:24and bringing them to me as quick as you can?
01:16:26Please, right now, bring them to me.
01:16:30I'm sorry, Roger. I have somewhere else I have to be.
01:16:34Charlotte, you do know this show
01:16:36could be a game-changer for you.
01:16:38I know, but
01:16:40family has to come first this time.
01:16:42I hope you'll forgive me, Roger.
01:16:44I would love to have designed for you, but
01:16:46maybe next year?
01:16:48Merry Christmas.
01:16:50Merry Christmas.
01:16:58Merry Christmas.
01:17:18Welcome to the final night of Alkabane.
01:17:20The Pajamboree.
01:17:28Oh,
01:17:30this is beautiful.
01:17:32You're here.
01:17:34Merry Christmas.
01:17:36Merry Christmas, baby.
01:17:38Oh, so soft.
01:17:40Any word yet?
01:17:42Oh, just a text a couple hours ago that she was on her way.
01:17:44Good.
01:17:46Yeah.
01:17:59Come on.
01:18:01Pick up.
01:18:03Hi, this is Spencer.
01:18:05Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
01:18:07Spencer, it's me.
01:18:18Spencer, it's me.
01:18:20I can't stop thinking about the way we left things.
01:18:22I am so sorry
01:18:24if I ever made you feel small
01:18:26or less than.
01:18:28You were the most incredible person,
01:18:30and the only thing that matters to me right now
01:18:32is making things right with us.
01:18:34And as crazy as it sounds,
01:18:36I might be...
01:18:38Come on.
01:18:40Hope that you decide tonight.
01:18:56I am so sorry,
01:18:58but I'm really happy to see you.
01:19:00Are you?
01:19:02These are two accidents.
01:19:04It starts to look intentional.
01:19:06How did the show go?
01:19:08It didn't.
01:19:10I left.
01:19:12You left?
01:19:14I promised myself I'd come back.
01:19:16I promised myself I'd come back.
01:19:18I promised myself I'd come back.
01:19:20I promised myself I'd come back.
01:19:22I promised myself I'd come back.
01:19:24You left?
01:19:26I promised my family I'd be here.
01:19:28And if there was any small possibility
01:19:30that I could see you,
01:19:32I had to take it.
01:19:34But Roger should see the new designs.
01:19:36It's perfect.
01:19:38I don't care about any of that right now.
01:19:40I care about you.
01:19:42Really?
01:19:44I know it sounds crazy,
01:19:46I know it sounds crazy,
01:19:48but spending this past week with you
01:19:50has made me realize that the only
01:19:52important thing in life is who you spend it with.
01:19:54And I want to
01:19:56spend every moment I can with you.
01:20:00Charlotte,
01:20:02I...
01:20:04I love you, Spencer.
01:20:06And it's okay if you don't feel the same way
01:20:08or you're not ready.
01:20:10But I didn't
01:20:12want to regret not telling you that.
01:20:16Well, you're in luck.
01:20:19Because I love you too.
01:20:23Really?
01:20:25Completely.
01:20:39What now?
01:20:41Now?
01:20:43We'll go dance it up in style.
01:20:49Yes!
01:20:51You ready?
01:20:52Yeah, let's do it.
01:20:53Let's do it.
01:20:58Wow.
01:21:00Charlotte!
01:21:04We made it!
01:21:06Of course, I wouldn't miss it.
01:21:08How did the show go?
01:21:10I ditched it.
01:21:12You what?
01:21:14Being here with you guys matters to me most.
01:21:17Oh, hold on.
01:21:19Oh, it's Roger.
01:21:21Probably calling to give me the old
01:21:23Christmas Eve scolding.
01:21:25Hello.
01:21:27There's my all-star.
01:21:29Pardon? What do you mean?
01:21:31You know, that was really bold what you did.
01:21:33Giving up on your dream to be with your family.
01:21:35I respect that.
01:21:37I really do.
01:21:38And that's exactly the type of person I want
01:21:40designing for my own family brand.
01:21:42Not to mention the fact
01:21:44that I can't stop thinking about those coveralls.
01:21:46They are fantastic.
01:21:48Are you serious?
01:21:50I am.
01:21:51We want exclusive rights to sell them in all of our stores.
01:21:54And I want to offer you a one-year contract
01:21:56to design for us exclusively.
01:21:58What do you think of that?
01:22:00I mean, yes. That's incredible.
01:22:03I would love to.
01:22:05There's just one thing.
01:22:06What's that?
01:22:07I'd like to move Alistair's headquarters
01:22:09to Brooks Bend, Connecticut.
01:22:11As long as you can be in New York
01:22:13three times a month for meetings,
01:22:14you can design wherever you like.
01:22:16Then you have yourself a deal.
01:22:18Perfect.
01:22:19I'll give you a call in the new year.
01:22:20We'll go over the paperwork.
01:22:22Merry Christmas, Charlotte.
01:22:23Merry Christmas, Mr. Warwick.
01:22:26I won!
01:22:31You did it.
01:22:32No, we did it.
01:22:33I never could have done this without you.
01:22:36Merry Christmas, Charlotte Carmichael.
01:22:38Beth, you want to dance?
01:22:40Oh, yeah!
01:22:44There's a ringing
01:22:47There's a magic in the air
