Short filmTranscript
00:00:30Are you a pilot?
00:00:35Oh, yes, I am.
00:00:37That's what I want to be.
00:00:39So far, I'm good with my takeoffs, but my landings need work.
00:00:43They do?
00:00:44Oh, it's just an app, but it feels real.
00:00:47Well, one day it will be.
00:00:50Until then, here is your first set of wings.
00:00:55Wow, thanks.
00:00:57You're welcome.
00:00:58Merry Christmas.
00:00:59Merry Christmas.
00:01:00Merry Christmas.
00:01:06Hi, Zoe.
00:01:08Oh, hey, Phil.
00:01:09How's the charter business going?
00:01:10It's great.
00:01:11I just bought a bigger plane.
00:01:12Oh, you're my role model.
00:01:14Well, I'm auctioning off my old Piper next month.
00:01:17You should bid.
00:01:18Maybe I will.
00:01:19I hope you do.
00:01:20Have a Merry Christmas.
00:01:21Merry Christmas, Phil.
00:01:48Hey, honey.
00:01:49Hi, Mom.
00:01:50It's here, too.
00:01:51I'm putting you on speaker.
00:01:52Hi, honey.
00:01:53Well, I just got the letter.
00:01:56The probate's cleared.
00:01:57I've officially inherited Gus Henderson's ranch.
00:02:00How are you feeling about it?
00:02:02Well, honestly, I'm pretty sad.
00:02:05I mean, I can't imagine the place without him.
00:02:08And I can't believe he left it to me.
00:02:10Of course he left it to you, honey.
00:02:11He was like your grandfather.
00:02:13And he taught you how to fly.
00:02:14I think Gus giving you his ranch is his way of helping you get your own plane.
00:02:18I'd rather have Gus.
00:02:20But I'm on a plane tomorrow to Alaska.
00:02:24I'm going to sign the papers and take a look at it one last time before I put it on the market.
00:02:31But you are going to be back in Tampa.
00:02:33Time for Christmas.
00:02:34That's two weeks away.
00:02:36I'll be out of Alaska in one week, tops.
00:02:38Can't wait to see you.
00:02:40Love you.
00:02:41Love you.
00:02:42Love you, too.
00:02:48Thanks.
00:03:05Aurora.
00:03:06It's just like how I remember it.
00:03:08Christmas time's the best.
00:03:15Who rides a motorcycle in December in Alaska?
00:03:24Otto, just try a peppermint brownie.
00:03:27The customers will love them, and they're Christmassy.
00:03:30Anya, we serve apple pie, lemon pie, and chocolate pudding.
00:03:35Nobody orders the chocolate pudding.
00:03:36Yes, they do.
00:03:37Nobody orders it twice.
00:03:40Just try one of the brownies.
00:03:41They're delicious.
00:03:43You know, I had a bad hand last night.
00:03:49I'll think about it.
00:03:59Merry Christmas.
00:04:01Zoe!
00:04:02You're here early.
00:04:03Hi.
00:04:04Hi, Brock.
00:04:05Hi.
00:04:06And hello, Otto.
00:04:08Do I know you?
00:04:09Otto, you remember Zoe.
00:04:12My best friend from high school.
00:04:14We used to hang out here all the time.
00:04:17When I was a teenager, I used Gus's plane to buy you a replacement coil for your deep fryer.
00:04:23The teenage pilot.
00:04:25You saved my summer.
00:04:26I remember you.
00:04:27You were Gus Henderson's best student.
00:04:30How are your parents?
00:04:31They're great.
00:04:32Yeah, my dad's still working at the post office in Florida.
00:04:34They love the weather.
00:04:36I'm so excited that you're here.
00:04:38You won't reconsider staying with me and Brock?
00:04:40Oh, you know what?
00:04:41I'm going to stay at the ranch.
00:04:42I think it might be my last chance.
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:45Well, then let us bring over dinner tonight.
00:04:47We'll get caught up.
00:04:48Dinner sounds great.
00:04:49I'll send over some chocolate pudding.
00:04:51Ooh, that's okay.
00:05:00Zoe Hathaway, is that you?
00:05:02This is Walker.
00:05:04You're not in ninth grade anymore.
00:05:06Call me Tracy.
00:05:08I hear Gus left you his ranch.
00:05:10He did.
00:05:11Are you going to do the Christmas festival this year?
00:05:13It hasn't been the same since Gus stopped.
00:05:15Oh, I'm only in town for a little while.
00:05:17I don't think so.
00:05:18Oh, well maybe next year.
00:05:20It's so good to see you.
00:05:22You're all grown up.
00:05:24Bye.
00:05:30That takes care of the transfer fee.
00:05:32Now the property is officially yours.
00:05:35You know, I've seen people put their cats on these, but never a plane.
00:05:39Yeah, it's there to motivate me.
00:05:41I'd like to start my own charter airline.
00:05:43Wow, and you've always wanted to fly?
00:05:45Pretty much.
00:05:46I remember when I was little I would go with my dad to pick up the bags when Gus would do a mail run.
00:05:52I'd watch that plane land and just think, wow, I want to do that.
00:05:56And now you are.
00:05:57It's all that you hoped for?
00:05:59Honestly, it's better.
00:06:00It's like getting paid to have fun.
00:06:02Sometimes I think I'm more at home in the air than on the ground.
00:06:06How long did you say you're in town for?
00:06:08Just a couple of days.
00:06:09And then Christmas in Florida and back home to Seattle.
00:06:12Hey, you don't have a recommendation for a real estate agent in the area, do you?
00:06:16Absolutely.
00:06:21It's a small town.
00:06:22We all wear a lot of hats.
00:06:24Well, you are hired.
00:06:25Well, I'll go through my buyer's list, but if no one bites, we may not be able to sell the ranch until spring.
00:06:31Oh, is that going to be a problem?
00:06:33These Alaska winters can be rough.
00:06:35No, it shouldn't be.
00:06:36Yes, a ranch like yours does need constant care, plumbing, wiring, roofing.
00:06:40But you're very lucky that your caretaker, Alec, is really good.
00:06:43Alec, yes.
00:06:44Gus mentioned him to me over the phone.
00:06:46He used to be a wilderness guy?
00:06:48He still is.
00:06:49He's been helping Gus out in the winters ever since Ida passed.
00:06:51Gus already paid for the entire season, so...
00:06:53Thank you, Gus.
00:06:55Alright, well, let's go take a look at your ranch.
00:06:57Alright, let's go.
00:07:01Alright.
00:07:20Well, it's a little isolated out here, but Alec is usually around.
00:07:24There's his pickup.
00:07:26I love this place so much.
00:07:28You moved away just before I came to Aurora.
00:07:30Did you spend a lot of time here at the ranch?
00:07:32Well, Gus and Ida were like grandparents to me.
00:07:34And I actually lived here my senior year when my dad was transferred to Florida.
00:07:37So, this is like a homecoming for you.
00:07:40Are you sure you want to sell?
00:07:42Well, in a perfect world, I'd keep it.
00:07:44But my life is in Seattle.
00:07:47Don't make me doubt myself. You'll lose your commission.
00:07:51Forget I said anything.
00:07:53You know, if it wasn't the middle of December, this place would be very marketable.
00:07:58Oh, and there's a Jeep in the garage.
00:08:02Hey, Gus and Ida's trees!
00:08:05Oh, they've grown!
00:08:07It's such a sweet gesture, planting a live Christmas tree for every year they were married.
00:08:12It's like a love letter written in trees.
00:08:16I love this room!
00:08:19It's amazing.
00:08:25Is this you?
00:08:26Yeah, that's the day I got my pilot's license.
00:08:29Gus was such a good teacher.
00:08:31He and Ida were so kind to me.
00:08:33Everyone in town loved them.
00:08:37Oh, this brand new kitchen will completely sell this house.
00:08:41Gus retired, and he sold his Cessna to Jeff Peters.
00:08:45And then he put all that money into building Ida's dream kitchen.
00:08:51Oh, there she is!
00:08:54Who?
00:08:57Hi, Holly!
00:08:59Oh, I remember when Gus and Ida found her.
00:09:01She'd just lost her mother, and they bottle-fed her.
00:09:04She must be 15 years old.
00:09:06Now, you missed her. Never met you before.
00:09:09Oh, that's Palmer. Gus got him last year.
00:09:11Alec has been taking such good care of both reindeer.
00:09:15Oh, Crichton Entrance.
00:09:25Are you going to introduce me, or should I introduce myself?
00:09:28Zoe Hathaway. Meet Alec Lynn.
00:09:31Oh, nice to meet you. I've heard such good things about you.
00:09:34I'm Zoe.
00:09:35I'm Alec.
00:09:36I'm Zoe.
00:09:37I'm Alec.
00:09:38I'm Zoe.
00:09:39I'm Alec.
00:09:40I'm Zoe.
00:09:41I'm Zoe.
00:09:42I'm Zoe.
00:09:43I've heard such good things about you.
00:09:44I've heard about you, too.
00:09:47Well, I don't mean to be blunt, but you stay in or sell?
00:09:52Actually, I'm selling.
00:09:57Well, it was nice to meet you.
00:09:59If you'll excuse me, I have a fence to repair. Palmer keeps getting out.
00:10:04Bye.
00:10:09Alec is a good guy.
00:10:11He's a little rough around the edges, maybe.
00:10:13Yeah, I can see that.
00:10:15Hey, come here. Come here.
00:10:19Hi.
00:10:22Hi, Palmer.
00:10:24I'm Zoe. Nice to meet you.
00:10:30Wow, it smells amazing.
00:10:33You need to stop working for Otto and open your own restaurant.
00:10:36That's the master plan.
00:10:38Not for another few years or so.
00:10:40Maybe open a restaurant or a B&B.
00:10:42What are you looking for?
00:10:44This.
00:10:46Ida had a secret recipe for Christmas wreath cookies.
00:10:49Oh, I love those. They were so crunchy.
00:10:51Everybody did. She made hundreds of them for the Christmas festival, and I am dying to know how she made them.
00:10:57It's not here.
00:10:59On the plus side, if you need 20 ways to cook salmon, you're set.
00:11:03Thank you. Good to know.
00:11:06I'm so glad you're here.
00:11:08Video chatting isn't the same.
00:11:10I know. It's not.
00:11:12I love Aurora, but you see such fabulous places.
00:11:15I bet you get to hang out with the cool people every night.
00:11:18Guys, I'm up at four in the morning, and I'm in bed at eight o'clock at night.
00:11:22The cool people are being cool without me.
00:11:25By the way, I met Alec Wynn today.
00:11:28He was not very talkative.
00:11:30He talked?
00:11:31At the diner, the most I get is a please and a thank you.
00:11:33He's a nice guy. I know Gus liked him.
00:11:36Yeah, so Gus mentioned him to me on the phone. He said he trusted him.
00:11:39But I was actually picturing somebody more Gus's age.
00:11:43So Alec is going to stay on till the place sells?
00:11:45Well, I haven't talked to him about it yet, but he's paid through the winter.
00:11:48So I just hope the place sells really fast, and then we'll be totally covered.
00:11:54Well, I think dinner's ready.
00:11:57Who's hungry?
00:11:58Me!
00:11:59I am.
00:12:00Let's go.
00:12:06I'm hungry.
00:12:07I'm hungry.
00:12:35Coming!
00:12:38Come on.
00:12:40Good morning.
00:12:41Feeding the reindeer.
00:12:43I want to show you how to do it.
00:12:44Oh, no. Can't we do that later?
00:12:46No.
00:12:47Dress in something warm.
00:12:50I know how to dress.
00:12:55I'm here.
00:12:57Oh, look at all these decorations from the Christmas festival.
00:13:02It's the sleigh. This is the sleigh.
00:13:05All the kids from the town get their picture taken with Santa on this sleigh.
00:13:09Oh, look at all these lights.
00:13:11Holly and Palmer are waiting.
00:13:13Oh, so sorry. Didn't mean to delay your breakfast.
00:13:17So the reindeer get fed twice a day. I aim for 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
00:13:21Got it.
00:13:23Good. They each get one scoop of these pellets and some hay.
00:13:28You'll need more feed.
00:13:30In a couple of days you can get it at the hardware store in town.
00:13:32Check.
00:13:34Now the well frees up in the pump house. The light goes out. You've got to keep an eye on that.
00:13:39Oil furnace needs a delivery next month.
00:13:42And there's a generator back there. If the power goes out.
00:13:45Okay.
00:13:52Good luck.
00:13:54Good luck? Where are you going?
00:13:58He's charming, isn't he?
00:14:01He's charming, isn't he?
00:14:10Whoa.
00:14:18Are you leaving?
00:14:19It's your place now.
00:14:21Now that you're here, it's time for me to move on.
00:14:24But I'm not staying. I need you here.
00:14:27You're here. And Karen said Gus paid you through the winter.
00:14:30And I gave you the money back.
00:14:34All right. I don't understand. What's really going on here?
00:14:40Gus loved this ranch. He built the house himself. Him and I had planted all those trees.
00:14:46He didn't leave it to you just so you could sell it to some strangers.
00:14:49He left it to me so I could buy my plane.
00:14:52Oh yeah? He tell you that?
00:14:54Well, not in so many words. But he knew I lived in Seattle. He knew I was saving up to buy a plane.
00:14:59He had to know I'd sell the ranch.
00:15:02Sounds like to me you're just planning on dumping it.
00:15:05I'm not going to sell it to just anyone.
00:15:08I'm going to sell it to someone who loves it just as much as we do. And he's going to care for it.
00:15:12And the reindeer.
00:15:13Oh. What if the new owners don't want reindeer?
00:15:16You haven't thought this through, have you?
00:15:18Pauline Palmer deserve a good home.
00:15:20I'm going to find them a good home. But I can't stay here.
00:15:23Alec, my job is in Seattle. I need you here.
00:15:41What if you were involved in the sale?
00:15:45How?
00:15:48We'll have a partnership.
00:15:50It can't be a partnership.
00:15:51Of course it can.
00:15:53We'll work together to find the perfect buyer for this place.
00:15:56You'll be an important part of the decision.
00:15:58Oh. But you hold all the cards.
00:16:00Alright. So I'll give you an ace.
00:16:03If you stay until this place sells, I'll give you 10%.
00:16:07It's not about the money.
00:16:08And I promise to listen to whatever you have to say about the buyer.
00:16:12If you think I'm selling to the wrong person, tell me.
00:16:16I'll listen. I'm a very good listener.
00:16:20You sure are a good talker.
00:16:23If you ever get tired of flying, you can go into sales.
00:16:26Boy, you're a tough customer.
00:16:28What do I have to do to seal this deal? Throw in a toaster?
00:16:32I don't need a toaster.
00:16:35You don't know me.
00:16:37Why does my opinion matter?
00:16:39Gus trusted you.
00:16:41That means a lot to me.
00:16:45This ranch is special.
00:16:48It needs you.
00:16:50So do I.
00:16:53Deal?
00:16:59Deal.
00:17:06So I've only got four more days in town, and I really want to spruce up the place.
00:17:09All those real estate shows say that the little details make a big difference.
00:17:13Like what?
00:17:14Like, maybe put some Christmas lights up around the windows?
00:17:17Only have to take them down in January.
00:17:19But they'd be so pretty.
00:17:20What do you want? Stockings and candy canes, too?
00:17:22Maybe a train set running through the yard?
00:17:24Not much of a Christmas fan, huh?
00:17:26Not really.
00:17:27I love Christmas.
00:17:29Why am I not surprised?
00:17:32So what else are we going to do?
00:17:33Well, clean everything. Declutter.
00:17:35Oh, and I think that thermostat might be broken on the furnace.
00:17:38I installed a furnace. I can take a look at that.
00:17:40Great. Thank you. And if we need a new one, I'll just grab one at the hardware store.
00:17:43I have a project list, too.
00:17:44Banister on the porch is loose.
00:17:46Got to trim back those trees.
00:17:49We need to take a look at that barn.
00:17:51We make a good team.
00:17:54Yeah.
00:18:03These boards are all worn out.
00:18:05We'll have to clear the whole barn.
00:18:07Oh.
00:18:08Well, we can't have everything.
00:18:10I guess the floor can wait.
00:18:13I promise that we will find you a good home.
00:18:22Huh.
00:18:23That's a cool picture.
00:18:25Who took that?
00:18:28I did.
00:18:30Whoa.
00:18:31I saw some camera equipment.
00:18:33So that—are you a professional?
00:18:35No. Just a hobby.
00:18:37That's cool.
00:18:38Okay. I'm going to go to the hardware store and get a little bit more rein to your feet.
00:18:41Karen said something about me inheriting a jeep.
00:18:44Can you drive stick?
00:18:46Can I drive stick?
00:18:48If it's got wheels, wings, or a rudder, I can make it go.
00:18:53Oh. Merry Christmas. How can I help you?
00:18:55Hi. I need a new one of these.
00:18:57Do you have one?
00:18:58Yeah. One thermostat coming up.
00:19:00Anything else?
00:19:01Um.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:08Hey.
00:19:09Hey.
00:19:10Hey.
00:19:11Hey.
00:19:12Hey.
00:19:13Hey.
00:19:14Hey.
00:19:15Hey.
00:19:16Hey.
00:19:17Hey.
00:19:18Hey.
00:19:19Hey.
00:19:20Hey.
00:19:22Is that everything?
00:19:24It's a start.
00:19:26Cool.
00:19:28Are you the pilot?
00:19:29The one that used to live here?
00:19:30Yes.
00:19:32I always wanted to learn how to fly and then gustle this plane before I could take any lessons.
00:19:38Could you teach me?
00:19:39Oh. I'm only here for a couple of days. I don't have time.
00:19:42Too bad.
00:19:45Oh, Zoe. You're exactly who I need to talk to.
00:19:48But just one second.
00:19:49Hey, Danny. George is tying a Christmas tree up to my car. Could you ring it up for me, please?
00:19:52Yeah. Sure thing, Mrs. Yazzie.
00:19:53Thanks. Fixing things up out there?
00:19:55Yeah. Starting to.
00:19:57All right. Well, no pressure, but I just spoke with a potential buyer.
00:20:00I cannot believe how lucky we are, but they're actually very interested.
00:20:04Can I bring them out tomorrow morning?
00:20:05Absolutely.
00:20:06All right. Try and make the ranch look as homey as possible.
00:20:09This might be our last chance until spring.
00:20:11Like I said, no pressure.
00:20:12You got it.
00:20:13Thank you, Danny. Merry Christmas.
00:20:15I'll see you tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
00:20:16Fingers crossed.
00:20:19You know what? I'm gonna go check out your Christmas trees out there. I'll be back.
00:20:23Sure.
00:20:39Here comes Santa Claus.
00:20:42You bought a tree?
00:20:43We have a buyer coming tomorrow. Karen thinks we should make the place a little more homey.
00:20:47You own a mountain covered in trees, and you bought one from the store.
00:20:51Oh. Good point. A little late.
00:20:55Well, I like this tree.
00:20:57Oh! Oh!
00:21:00Let me help.
00:21:02Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la.
00:21:08Everybody, tis the season to be jolly.
00:21:14Not a singer?
00:21:15No.
00:21:16Why am I not surprised?
00:21:19Want me to install the thermostat?
00:21:21Yes, please.
00:21:25Nice talking to you.
00:21:28And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing.
00:21:32You know you're gonna scare the reindeer.
00:21:34And heaven and heaven and nature sing.
00:21:46Okay. Here we are.
00:21:51It's so pretty.
00:22:04Welcome to the ranch.
00:22:06It's gorgeous.
00:22:08I know.
00:22:10Welcome to the ranch.
00:22:12It's gorgeous.
00:22:14We've been looking all over, and so far this place checks all the boxes.
00:22:19This river rock is so dated. You think we could paint it white?
00:22:22Well, we did that back at the Montana ranch. It looked great.
00:22:25You own a ranch in Montana?
00:22:28We used to, but we just didn't use it enough.
00:22:30But we've always wanted to own a home in Alaska.
00:22:35I'm not sure if this barn is big enough.
00:22:39Oh, Alec. These are the Upsons.
00:22:43What kind of livestock you planting on?
00:22:44Oh, not livestock. I have a lot of...
00:22:48Well, Melissa likes to call them toys.
00:22:50In Alaska, I'll need snowmobiles, a couple boats, some off-road vehicles.
00:22:54Yeah, I know.
00:22:56You know, I don't think I've ever seen a snowmobile in Alaska.
00:22:59Nice.
00:23:00In Alaska, I'll need snowmobiles, a couple boats, some off-road vehicles.
00:23:04Back home in Connecticut, he had to build a second garage.
00:23:08What can I say? I like my toys.
00:23:12It's plenty big enough.
00:23:14You just need to clear it out a little bit.
00:23:16Oh, yes. Clearing out of the barn is definitely on the to-do list before the sale.
00:23:22That's Mia. Come on.
00:23:25Come on, pal.
00:23:30Bye.
00:23:32Are they leaving already?
00:23:34Hey, Alec. Great news.
00:23:37They think this would make the perfect vacation house.
00:23:40She kept nudging him to stop talking, and he said they're going to make an offer.
00:23:45A plane goes up for auction next month, and I never thought I'd be able to say this, but...
00:23:51I think I'm going to be able to make a bid.
00:23:56What's wrong with you?
00:23:57So when you said you wanted great people to buy the ranch, you just meant anyone who would make an offer.
00:24:02What? There's nothing wrong with the absence.
00:24:05You really think that?
00:24:07Sure.
00:24:09First they'll start with the barn, and then they'll tear the whole house down.
00:24:13Are we partners in this or not?
00:24:16We are.
00:24:19Then I vote no.
00:24:27Okay.
00:24:51Hey.
00:24:53Hey.
00:24:55So you're already up.
00:24:57Um...
00:25:02Well, I feel like you're about to break up our partnership.
00:25:06No.
00:25:08No, I...
00:25:10I want to be partners.
00:25:12I think I... I was so focused on the sale, I wasn't thinking things through.
00:25:17The Epson's aren't bad people, they're...
00:25:19No, of course they're not, but they're not our buyers.
00:25:22But I've also flown charters with people like that before, and they're...
00:25:25Careless?
00:25:27Exactly. They're going to get bored with this place in a year, maybe two.
00:25:31And then they're going to sell it without giving it a second thought.
00:25:34Gus wouldn't want the place to be empty most of the year.
00:25:37And he definitely wouldn't want that fireplace to be painted white.
00:25:40It's just... those were Karen's best prospects.
00:25:43Sorry.
00:25:46So.
00:25:48I wonder.
00:25:50We want to show the world how spectacular this ranch is, right?
00:25:55I was talking to Tracy Walker, and she asked me about Gus's Christmas festival.
00:25:59Did you ever see it?
00:26:01No. Gus did talk about it, though.
00:26:03It's my favorite Aurora memory.
00:26:06What if we revived it?
00:26:08What? Now?
00:26:10We're looking for the perfect buyer, right?
00:26:12It's a great way to spread the word and show the place off.
00:26:15People used to come from all over.
00:26:17Plus, I think it would be really fun.
00:26:19The town would love it.
00:26:21And when would this be happening?
00:26:22Um, okay. Christmas is in nine days, so it would be next Saturday, the 23rd.
00:26:27Next Saturday.
00:26:29Ooh, I'd have to change my flight to Florida, but I could do that.
00:26:31You think it's a bad idea?
00:26:33No, it's just... it's a lot to do in a very short period of time.
00:26:37Well, we could do that. Come on.
00:26:40Ooh!
00:26:42Okay, these go...
00:26:45Okay, they go right outside the barn next to the sleigh.
00:26:48We're going to need a Santa.
00:26:51No. No.
00:26:54All right, you know what?
00:26:56You have neither the physique nor the personality.
00:26:58Oh, my Christmas village!
00:27:01And we're going to have our work cut out for us, organizing these lights.
00:27:05Oh, I need a great picture of Gus.
00:27:07Right here.
00:27:11Oh, uh, what are you doing with that?
00:27:16You'll see.
00:27:21Merry Christmas!
00:27:23Merry Christmas!
00:27:26You look very merry.
00:27:28This isn't my kind of thing.
00:27:30How long do we have to be doing this for?
00:27:32Until all the flyers are gone.
00:27:34Good to see you!
00:27:36Oh, Samantha!
00:27:38Zoe! Ah, I heard you were back!
00:27:40Listen, stop by the dress shop. I want to hear everything about everything.
00:27:44I will.
00:27:46And this is fantastic!
00:27:47The festival was always my favorite part of Christmas.
00:27:50Yeah, me too.
00:27:52I used to do half my shopping at the craft booths.
00:27:54Oh, those booths were great.
00:27:56I don't think we'll have time to organize that this year.
00:27:58I know all the craftspeople in town.
00:28:00Let me handle the booths.
00:28:02That would be great!
00:28:04Oh, I'm happy to help!
00:28:06So good to see you!
00:28:08Thanks!
00:28:10That's huge.
00:28:12Merry Christmas!
00:28:14Tracy!
00:28:15Hi!
00:28:17So you're going to be in town long enough after all.
00:28:20You kind of inspired me.
00:28:22I'm so glad.
00:28:24I mean, the festival was always the heart of this town.
00:28:26Things just weren't the same after it stopped.
00:28:28You're doing a wonderful thing.
00:28:30And so are you!
00:28:32Bye!
00:28:34Bye!
00:28:36My ninth grade teacher.
00:28:38She's a hugger.
00:28:40I noticed.
00:28:42This makes me so happy!
00:28:43Can Brock and I be in charge of food?
00:28:45Ooh, I'd have to check with my planning partner here.
00:28:48Yes.
00:28:50Yes.
00:28:52Jeff Peters!
00:28:54Oh, Zoe!
00:28:56Hi!
00:28:58It's great to see you!
00:29:00You too!
00:29:02How's Gus's plane?
00:29:04She's a beauty.
00:29:06I'm covering Gus's old delivery route every day.
00:29:08She's steady as can be.
00:29:10That's great.
00:29:11You know what I'm worried about right now?
00:29:13Yeah, about that.
00:29:15That reindeer of Gus's shut down the airstrip again.
00:29:17And it's your reindeer now, right?
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:21Wait, you said Palmer had been getting out, but the airstrip's miles away.
00:29:23We've got to go get him.
00:29:25Sorry, Jeff.
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:39Palmer, what are you doing here?
00:29:42You know what?
00:29:44I'm kind of a city girl.
00:29:46Reindeer wrangling isn't really in my department.
00:29:48What's the protocol here?
00:29:50Do you get nervous if I come a little bit towards it?
00:29:54Nope? Okay.
00:29:56I'm going to go back and see if Alec has gotten here yet.
00:29:58You okay?
00:30:00I wasn't talking to a reindeer.
00:30:02Palmer?
00:30:04Palmer?
00:30:06Come here, buddy.
00:30:08Come here, it's okay.
00:30:09Hey, okay, buddy.
00:30:12Well, you made that look easy.
00:30:16Yeah, lots of practice.
00:30:19So, he's been to this airstrip before?
00:30:21Yeah, last month.
00:30:23Why does he keep coming back here?
00:30:25I have no idea.
00:30:27Good, you got him.
00:30:30Zoe Hathaway.
00:30:32Chuck.
00:30:34Merry Christmas.
00:30:36And welcome back to Aurora.
00:30:37Thanks.
00:30:39How's the airstrip these days?
00:30:41Airstrip's better than ever.
00:30:43Just my knees.
00:30:45They're getting a little creaky.
00:30:47But after 40 years on the job, I don't blame them.
00:30:49Come on inside.
00:30:51I need to talk to you.
00:30:53Sure, yeah, you got it.
00:30:57You're the legal owner of the reindeer now, right?
00:30:59Right.
00:31:01And this is the second time he's delayed a flight.
00:31:03Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
00:31:05I'll make sure it never happens again.
00:31:07If it's a second offense, there's a fine.
00:31:09The FAA does not mess around.
00:31:12Will it be cash or credit?
00:31:15Oh.
00:31:17Debit.
00:31:20Getting a lot of use these days.
00:31:22I never even get my plane.
00:31:24Sorry?
00:31:26Nothing.
00:31:32Mom, don't worry.
00:31:34I will be home for Christmas.
00:31:35I'm flying on standby with a buddy pass on Christmas Eve day.
00:31:39You know what?
00:31:41I have to go.
00:31:43I'm making toffee for the Christmas festival.
00:31:45All right, I love you.
00:31:47Okay, stir in the nuts.
00:31:49Okay.
00:31:51Flying on Christmas Eve is going to be tricky.
00:31:53Yeah, that's what she said.
00:31:55She's worried I'm not going to make it.
00:31:57She should be.
00:31:59No, it'll be fine.
00:32:01I always spend it with them.
00:32:03Oh, it's my dad.
00:32:05I will be home in Florida for Christmas.
00:32:10Bye.
00:32:12Bye.
00:32:21Okay, I think we did it.
00:32:23All right.
00:32:25Ready to test them?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:29Okay.
00:32:31Hey!
00:32:33That looks great!
00:32:36Wait, what just happened?
00:32:38We just blew the generator.
00:32:40No!
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:49I need a new generator.
00:32:51No problem.
00:32:53And 500 strings of Christmas lights.
00:32:55That could be a problem.
00:32:57I don't have that many lights at the store.
00:32:59I mean, we got what you need in Fairbanks, but it wouldn't be here until after Christmas.
00:33:02Well, can they be overnighted?
00:33:03We could send a truck, but it's going to cost you.
00:33:07A lot.
00:33:09Well, I've got to have them.
00:33:11Here you go.
00:33:14My plane fund.
00:33:16It's getting emptier and emptier.
00:33:18Do you have to put on the festival?
00:33:20I know people are looking forward to it.
00:33:22I'm putting it on so that people can see the property.
00:33:24If they come from out of town, they'll see Aurora at its best.
00:33:28I love this place.
00:33:30I forgot how much I missed everyone here.
00:33:33Oh, thanks, Otto.
00:33:36So, what time does the barn dance start after the festival?
00:33:40I forgot about the barn dance.
00:33:42Oh, you got to have a dance.
00:33:44You know, Gus and Ida used to always have Santa and the sleighs.
00:33:48Lights in the trees.
00:33:50And that big Christmas star on top of the ranch house.
00:33:52I haven't even seen that star.
00:33:54Oh, you got to find it.
00:33:56But most of all, you got to finish off with a big barn dance.
00:33:58I mean, we have to celebrate.
00:33:59Otto is a big grump all year, but at Christmas he's like a little kid.
00:34:04I am not a grump.
00:34:06You know, that barn floor is not in good shape.
00:34:08There's reindeer living in there.
00:34:10The reindeer are the guests of honor.
00:34:12Oh, Otto's got an answer for everything.
00:34:14I wish I did.
00:34:19I'm back.
00:34:21Do not tell me you need more lights.
00:34:23You are going to outshine the Aurora Borealis.
00:34:25Do you have any wide plank oak flooring?
00:34:27I need to fix the barn floor fast.
00:34:29For the barn dance?
00:34:31Everybody's looking forward to it.
00:34:33Yeah, I have plenty of wide plank oak.
00:34:35It's a little spendy.
00:34:37Of course it is.
00:34:39So I was wondering.
00:34:41The hardware store used to do this Christmas reindeer toss booth.
00:34:43And it's for little kids.
00:34:45But, you know, it was really fun.
00:34:47I remember that.
00:34:51Any chance you would want to organize that for the festival?
00:34:54Really? You're sure?
00:34:56Yes, I'm sure.
00:34:57Yeah, I could do that.
00:34:59Cool.
00:35:01Great.
00:35:10Where are the Christmas lights?
00:35:12Oh, they're coming on the truck tomorrow.
00:35:14And these are boards for the barn.
00:35:17There's going to be a dance.
00:35:19I know it's getting bigger and bigger,
00:35:22but I really appreciate all your work.
00:35:24I don't mind.
00:35:25I kind of feel like I'm doing it for Gus.
00:35:27He was sad that he had to stop the festival.
00:35:29He always said someday he'd start it up again.
00:35:31I guess someday's now.
00:35:33You know, um,
00:35:35there used to be this big star
00:35:37that all the kids would make wishes on.
00:35:39Do you know what happened to that?
00:35:41Yeah, he lent it to a church in Greenville a couple years ago.
00:35:43You think we could get it back?
00:35:45It's 150 miles away.
00:35:47So we could drive that.
00:35:49In the past, it's already snowed in.
00:35:51So we can't drive that.
00:35:53No.
00:35:55All right, I got this guy.
00:35:57You got those.
00:35:59After you.
00:36:06And house supplies.
00:36:08Flooring.
00:36:10There's the lights.
00:36:12FAA fine equals...
00:36:14Oof.
00:36:17Zoe Hathaway Charter Fund is not looking good.
00:36:21And we're finished.
00:36:23All right.
00:36:25Thanks for the help.
00:36:27Yeah, no problem.
00:36:29You got a couple extra boards left over.
00:36:31That's all right.
00:36:33I'll just throw them in the cabin.
00:36:35You don't kind of surprise how much I'm liking that cabin.
00:36:37I've always said,
00:36:39living outside, being in a tent,
00:36:41it's the way to go.
00:36:43Having a roof over my head and a nice, comfy bed.
00:36:45Pretty nice.
00:36:47You think that means I'm getting old?
00:36:48Yeah, it does.
00:36:50You don't have to be that honest.
00:36:52Okay.
00:36:54Oh, hey, look at you.
00:36:56One dance floor ready to go.
00:36:58Well, good,
00:37:00because they just delivered 500 strings of Christmas lights
00:37:02and a generator.
00:37:04Do you want to help?
00:37:06We've got 27 trees that need lighting.
00:37:08Oh, no, I've got to get back to the diner.
00:37:10Yeah, you kids have fun.
00:37:12All right.
00:37:14Lazy.
00:37:16I know, right?
00:37:18I've got to get back to United's trees.
00:37:21This is the longest I've been earthbound
00:37:23since I got my license.
00:37:25I've got to get up in the air.
00:37:27I like my feet on the ground.
00:37:29I've never been in a plane in my life.
00:37:31What?
00:37:33How'd you get to Alaska?
00:37:35I got these things called roads.
00:37:37I've got to get you up in the sky.
00:37:39Yeah, no thanks.
00:37:41All right, it'd be you
00:37:43and me in the cockpit.
00:37:45We'd have the whole sky in front of us.
00:37:46It's the best feeling in the world.
00:37:48Oh, thank you.
00:37:52So how long have you been in Alaska?
00:37:54Seven years now.
00:37:56Never stayed in one place much
00:37:58until I started spending winters here with Gus.
00:38:00Where were you before that?
00:38:02All over, but I'd spend the rest of the year
00:38:04at a glacier tour company.
00:38:06Oh, that sounds interesting.
00:38:08Cold.
00:38:10Yes, it was.
00:38:12Gus used to say,
00:38:14if I spent one more year there,
00:38:16I'd just hear him saying that.
00:38:19Yeah, he was a good man.
00:38:22He was the best.
00:38:24He always made me feel welcome.
00:38:26Like he was happy I was here.
00:38:28And now there's something about this ranch,
00:38:30it just,
00:38:32it almost feels like...
00:38:34Home.
00:38:36Yeah.
00:38:38Which is strange because
00:38:40home's a word I never thought I'd care about,
00:38:42but maybe I do.
00:38:44Maybe I do.
00:38:46You know, I feel the same way.
00:38:48Brock and Anya,
00:38:50I think they think I lead this glamorous life,
00:38:52but actually,
00:38:54it can be a little lonely.
00:38:56Really?
00:38:58I figured you had loads of friends.
00:39:00No, I do. I do.
00:39:02I mean, no one as close as Anya.
00:39:04She's like family.
00:39:06But I guess
00:39:08in Aurora,
00:39:10it's hard to be lonely
00:39:12because I know everybody
00:39:14is lonely.
00:39:16Yeah.
00:39:18To Aurora.
00:39:20To Aurora.
00:39:22All right.
00:39:24Ready?
00:39:26Ready.
00:39:30Oh.
00:39:32Oh, I love it.
00:39:35Look, I get a picture.
00:39:40You know what?
00:39:42It's better in person.
00:39:44I love this.
00:39:46You brought your camera?
00:39:48Of course.
00:39:50Wait.
00:39:52Say cheese.
00:39:54No, don't get me.
00:39:56No, get the trees.
00:39:58Don't get me.
00:40:00Okay, I'll get the trees.
00:40:02No, stop.
00:40:04I don't want you to get me.
00:40:06Stop.
00:40:08Oh, that's perfect.
00:40:10Stop it. I mean it. Stop.
00:40:12Okay.
00:40:14Of course.
00:40:16You know,
00:40:18this is the first time I've ever decorated a Christmas tree.
00:40:21You've got to be kidding.
00:40:23No.
00:40:25My mom died when I was a baby
00:40:27and my dad wasn't exactly a decorations guy.
00:40:31You know, I look back on it
00:40:33and I think Christmas probably made him really sad
00:40:35and miss my mom.
00:40:37But he always got me a present.
00:40:39One year he got me a camera.
00:40:41It was nothing fancy,
00:40:42a point shoot,
00:40:44but I thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
00:40:46I was a pretty quiet kid
00:40:48and my dad said,
00:40:50you should let your pictures do the talking for you.
00:40:52And you know what? He was right.
00:40:54I really got into it.
00:40:56Sounds like a smart man.
00:40:58Yeah, it was.
00:41:00So what about you?
00:41:02What's your favorite Christmas present?
00:41:04Oh, flying lessons.
00:41:0614 years old.
00:41:08Made my parents nervous,
00:41:09but they knew it was what I really wanted.
00:41:22Well,
00:41:24here's my step.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:28Goodnight.
00:41:31Goodnight.
00:41:40Hello?
00:41:42Zoe, I have some promising news.
00:41:44Oh, what is it?
00:41:46Well, there's a boutique hotel firm
00:41:48that scoped out the property a couple years ago.
00:41:50Gus thought about their offer, but he decided not to sell.
00:41:52I'm surprised he thought about it.
00:41:54Well, they're very good people and he was tempted.
00:41:56But anyway, they contacted me
00:41:58and they want to arrange a meeting with you.
00:42:00A hotel firm?
00:42:02Well, this might be your last serious offer before spring.
00:42:04It wasn't hard to talk to them.
00:42:06All right.
00:42:07Goodnight.
00:42:37Goodnight.
00:43:07Goodnight.
00:43:38Hey, Jenny.
00:43:40Sorry to bother you.
00:43:42Can I speak to Jeff for a minute, please?
00:43:44Sure, Alec.
00:43:46Jeff?
00:43:48Hey, Alec.
00:43:50What's up, man?
00:43:52I need a favor.
00:43:54Yeah, sure.
00:44:02Hello?
00:44:04Hi, Zoe.
00:44:05I know it's a crack of dawn,
00:44:07but our pilot, Jeff Peters, can't make it in today.
00:44:09And I'm desperate for a substitute.
00:44:11So I was wondering if maybe...
00:44:13I'll do it. I can do it. I'll do it.
00:44:26Hey.
00:44:28Come on in.
00:44:30Thanks.
00:44:32They need me at the airfield right away,
00:44:33or the Jeep won't start.
00:44:35Oh, uh...
00:44:37Do you want to borrow my truck?
00:44:39Any way I could borrow your bike.
00:44:41It'd be so much faster.
00:44:43I could take the trail instead of the main road.
00:44:45Told you I could drive anything.
00:44:47Yeah, it's just the trails are a little icy this time of year.
00:44:49Here, let me take you.
00:44:51I'll grab my jacket.
00:44:53Oh, that would be great. Thank you.
00:44:55Oh, wow.
00:44:57Did you take these pictures?
00:44:59Oh, uh, yeah.
00:45:01That looks a little barren here.
00:45:03It's all good.
00:45:05People should see them.
00:45:07They're just for fun.
00:45:09Okay, let's get going.
00:45:11Okay.
00:45:15You're welcome.
00:45:24You okay?
00:45:34Thanks for the ride.
00:45:36I'll pick you up.
00:45:38What time?
00:45:40Oh, uh, I don't know.
00:45:42Come on in.
00:45:44We'll check with Chuck.
00:45:47Zoe, you are going to be
00:45:49one popular person today.
00:45:51You see, it's the last big postal service
00:45:53that I've ever been to.
00:45:55And I'm going to be the first
00:45:57to see you.
00:45:59I'm going to be the first
00:46:01to see you.
00:46:03I'm going to be the first
00:46:05to deliver you before Christmas.
00:46:07You've got six towns on your route.
00:46:09Now, the planes are loaded
00:46:11and itinerary's right here.
00:46:13You're going to be surprised
00:46:15how many boxes are on board,
00:46:17so it's a good thing you brought a helper.
00:46:19No.
00:46:21No, I'm staying here on the ground.
00:46:23Come on.
00:46:25You'll have a front row seat
00:46:27to the whole sky.
00:46:29Someone's got to be here
00:46:31to feed the reindeer at six,
00:46:33right?
00:46:38Alec?
00:46:40Zoe,
00:46:42people who don't like to fly
00:46:44really, really don't like to fly.
00:46:46Me? Hey, I'm a flyer.
00:46:48And when I retire,
00:46:50that's all I'm going to do.
00:46:52Oh, come on, you're never going to retire.
00:46:54You love this job.
00:46:56I'm retiring at the end of the month.
00:46:58Oh, I can't imagine this place
00:47:00without you.
00:47:01Let's do this.
00:47:08Deck the halls
00:47:10with boughs of holly.
00:47:12You really think that's going to help?
00:47:14It got your eyes open, didn't it?
00:47:18All right, now look down.
00:47:20You won't regret it, I promise.
00:47:31Wow.
00:47:34That's beautiful.
00:47:37La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:47:40Testa 714 X-ray Delta.
00:47:43I do want to remind you
00:47:45you are currently in an open channel.
00:47:50Yeah, duly noted.
00:47:52Aurora Unicom?
00:48:02Maybe this isn't so bad.
00:48:04Isn't so bad?
00:48:06Come on, this is the best.
00:48:10So why do you love flying so much?
00:48:12Oh,
00:48:14it's hard to put into words.
00:48:16But
00:48:18I've loved being in the air
00:48:20since my first lesson with Gus.
00:48:23And I knew right away
00:48:25the sky is where I belong.
00:48:31See that?
00:48:33Flying makes me feel like I'm alive.
00:48:53Next stop?
00:48:55Yeah, we were just exiting.
00:48:57Thank you so much.
00:49:02Thank you so much.
00:49:04Merry Christmas.
00:49:06Have a good one.
00:49:09I can't tell you
00:49:11how happy I am to get these.
00:49:13We're delivering them tonight.
00:49:15What are they?
00:49:17Us troopers all chip in
00:49:19to make sure every kid in the district
00:49:21gets a present.
00:49:23Everything okay?
00:49:25The company said wrapping included.
00:49:27I thought that meant the presents
00:49:29were going to be wrapped.
00:49:31Can I help you?
00:49:35I'll show you how it's done.
00:49:37Oh.
00:49:41How are you so good at this?
00:49:43You're the guy that never had a Christmas tree.
00:49:45You never had a Christmas tree?
00:49:47It's a long story.
00:49:49I've had a lot of jobs.
00:49:51One Christmas I worked for a mail-order company.
00:49:53When you get paid by the package,
00:49:55you learn to be quick.
00:49:57Never a dull moment with this one.
00:49:59All right, so our last stop is in Greenville,
00:50:01but I didn't say what it is.
00:50:07Do you know something about this?
00:50:24Reverend said he'd leave it for us
00:50:26in this locker.
00:50:28Open it and find out.
00:50:38Gus's Christmas star.
00:50:40Now you have everything you need.
00:50:55Thank you for getting me this star.
00:50:59I just made a couple of calls.
00:51:02That's not all you did.
00:51:05It wasn't a coincidence
00:51:07that Jeff didn't come into work today.
00:51:11Did you talk to him?
00:51:13You got me the Christmas tree.
00:51:16I wanted to get you something, too.
00:51:18Well, thank you.
00:51:23Alec.
00:51:25Get your camera.
00:51:27What's happening?
00:51:29Look.
00:51:31It's magic.
00:51:35I've seen the Northern Lights before.
00:51:38Never like this.
00:51:45Wow.
00:51:48Aren't you glad you came?
00:51:51Yes, I am.
00:51:57And if the lights are here,
00:51:59that means they're going to be at awards.
00:52:01And time for the festival, I hope.
00:52:04Me, too.
00:52:22So how are we going to get that star home?
00:52:23Oh, I'll pick it up from Chuck tomorrow.
00:52:25Okay.
00:52:27Whoa.
00:52:29Did you see that?
00:52:31No.
00:52:33Oh, you know what?
00:52:35I thought I saw a reindeer.
00:52:37You don't think Palmer would...
00:52:39No.
00:52:41I didn't see anything.
00:52:43Yeah, I got visions of reindeer
00:52:45dancing in my head.
00:52:47All right.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:54So once I'm done sorting,
00:52:56I'm going to drop a box off
00:52:58at the thrift shop downtown.
00:53:00Do you want to take a look
00:53:02at the starter on your Jeep?
00:53:04Oh, that's okay.
00:53:06I already fixed it.
00:53:08It was just a loose connection.
00:53:10My truck could use an oil change
00:53:12if you get the chance.
00:53:14I won't.
00:53:16Oh, my gosh.
00:53:18What a mess.
00:53:20Sorry.
00:53:21Oh.
00:53:23I can't believe he kept them all this time.
00:53:26Wherever I went,
00:53:28I would send Gus and Ida a postcard.
00:53:30Look.
00:53:32This is the one I sent them
00:53:34when I first moved to Florida.
00:53:36I'm in Tampa.
00:53:38The landing was bumpy.
00:53:40The pilot needed you for a teacher, Gus.
00:53:42Sending love, Zoe.
00:53:46Merry Christmas from Florida.
00:53:48Love, Zoe.
00:53:49Gus,
00:53:51I'm coming up in the summer
00:53:53to visit for sure.
00:53:55I sent that last Christmas.
00:53:58I never made it up
00:54:00to visit him.
00:54:06Gus knew you loved him.
00:54:11He showed me this.
00:54:13Made him laugh.
00:54:17So this is the first
00:54:19time I'm going to Florida
00:54:21and I won't be sending Gus a card.
00:54:24I thought you were staying in Aurora.
00:54:26Christmas is only two days after the festival.
00:54:29Oh, I have to go back.
00:54:31Christmas Eve.
00:54:33It wouldn't feel like Christmas
00:54:35if I didn't spend it with my parents.
00:54:37Right. Of course.
00:54:39But you are coming back?
00:54:41Oh, you know what?
00:54:43I have to work.
00:54:45Oh.
00:54:47Yeah, yeah.
00:54:49Once this place is sold,
00:54:51I'm going to be moving on to
00:54:53back to the Glacier Company.
00:54:55They always have a spot for me.
00:54:57Anyway, I'm going to head to the airstrip
00:54:59and I'm going to get Gus' star.
00:55:01See you later.
00:55:03Oh, OK.
00:55:05See ya.
00:55:09Hey.
00:55:11Well,
00:55:13looks like everyone's getting back
00:55:14to their old lives.
00:55:16You know what?
00:55:18I wish that I could take this whole ranch
00:55:20and just fly it right back to Seattle.
00:55:22The whole town.
00:55:24But I guess I can't have everything I want.
00:55:28I'm talking to a reindeer.
00:55:32More coffee?
00:55:34Sure. Thanks.
00:55:36You look depressed.
00:55:38Not depressed.
00:55:45Alec looks depressed.
00:55:47He always looks depressed.
00:55:49Not since he's been working with Zoey.
00:55:51You need to go talk to him.
00:55:53No, honey.
00:55:55How?
00:55:57How's it going?
00:55:59Getting ready for the big shindig?
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:03It's nice of Zoey to bring that back.
00:56:05Lonnie asked you to come over here, didn't she?
00:56:07Yeah, I promised her I would,
00:56:09but you don't have to say anything.
00:56:11Zoey, did you catch any of the hockey game last night?
00:56:12No.
00:56:14I'm telling you, I'm fine.
00:56:16You don't look fine.
00:56:21You make good coffee, Brock.
00:56:23I'm gonna miss it.
00:56:25In fact, there's a lot of things I'm gonna miss about Aurora.
00:56:27Just because Zoey's selling the ranch
00:56:29doesn't mean you have to go anywhere.
00:56:31I'm sure we could find a roof and a bed
00:56:33for you somewhere in town.
00:56:35I hear that's important to old people like you.
00:56:37No, soon enough
00:56:39I'll be sleeping in my favorite tent.
00:56:42Thanks for the coffee.
00:56:45See ya.
00:56:49What did you guys talk about?
00:56:51Hockey.
00:57:01Merry Christmas, Zoey.
00:57:03Merry Christmas.
00:57:05Zoey's so excited for the festival.
00:57:07Oh yeah, it's in three days.
00:57:09Merry Christmas.
00:57:10Hi Zoey.
00:57:12Wow, she had a lot of shopping bags.
00:57:14Yeah, she has five daughters
00:57:16and she was buying them all dresses for the dance.
00:57:18What are you wearing?
00:57:20Oh, I have a sweet little dress
00:57:22for my parents for Christmas.
00:57:24I'll wear that.
00:57:26It's nothing fancy, but it'll work.
00:57:28It's a party.
00:57:30You need a party dress.
00:57:32Like that one.
00:57:34I do like red.
00:57:36Come on, try it on.
00:57:38Okay.
00:57:41Hi.
00:57:43You want to go in?
00:57:45Okay.
00:57:47What's going on?
00:57:49I spoke with the hotel company.
00:57:51Can we meet at the ranch tomorrow morning?
00:57:53Sure.
00:57:56So, if you decide to sell us this beautiful property,
00:57:59this is what we propose.
00:58:05Guests will check in at the ranch house
00:58:07and stay in one of our rooms.
00:58:08Guests will check in at the ranch house
00:58:10and stay in one of 12 unique bungalows.
00:58:12Each bungalow will have its own character
00:58:14and a spectacular view.
00:58:16People will come from all over the world
00:58:18to see the Aurora Borealis in all its glory.
00:58:20Can you pause it, please?
00:58:22Gus and Ida's trees are missing.
00:58:24We wanted to make room for that spectacular view.
00:58:27The trees have sentimental value.
00:58:30Is there any way that maybe they can be transplanted?
00:58:32I'll look into it.
00:58:34Okay, this ranch is really special,
00:58:35so we're going to need to find a buyer
00:58:37who understands that.
00:58:39I agree. This place is special.
00:58:41And we do want to preserve what's here,
00:58:43so let me talk to my team
00:58:45and I will get back to you
00:58:47with a revised proposal and an offer.
00:58:50Oh, sorry.
00:58:52Great.
00:58:54Oh, well, you see what they have to say.
00:58:56Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:59:03I was sure you'd be against the sale.
00:59:05I don't know what she said about preserving the land.
00:59:08The trees could always be moved.
00:59:10But Gus planted those trees with Ida.
00:59:12I know.
00:59:14Sometimes things have to change.
00:59:16Hey, and if they buy it,
00:59:18I might get the money in time for the plane sale.
00:59:21And I'm about ready to head out into the wild.
00:59:23Aren't you worried about turning into Alec the Snowman?
00:59:26No, I'll be fine.
00:59:29And hey, if they do buy it,
00:59:31you won't have to put on the festival after all.
00:59:33I know.
00:59:35But I want to do it.
00:59:37I think people would really love it.
00:59:39And I love Aurora.
00:59:41So it would be like
00:59:43giving everybody a gift before I go.
00:59:46Hmm.
00:59:48But, listen,
00:59:50this means a lot of extra work for you, too.
00:59:52So it can't just be my decision.
00:59:56I think it will make Gus happy.
00:59:59Let's do it for Gus.
01:00:04Oh, remind me to tell Zoe
01:00:06that Otto's going to play Santa tomorrow.
01:00:08Better him than me.
01:00:10That should do it.
01:00:16I hate the idea of moving the trees.
01:00:18And I haven't even found homes for the reindeer yet.
01:00:21Maybe you and Alec can run the ranch as a bed and breakfast.
01:00:24I'm going home, remember?
01:00:26And Alec wants to get back to the wild.
01:00:29It's too bad.
01:00:31You guys seem good together.
01:00:33Opening a B&B feels like your dream.
01:00:35My dream? Flying.
01:00:37Seattle's where I'd do that.
01:00:39I'm this close to owning my own charter plane.
01:00:41Slow down, you're going to break the sifter.
01:00:43Sorry.
01:00:45Oh, my God, I forgot the cookie cutter for the gingerbread men.
01:00:48Oh, no, it's a Christmas emergency.
01:00:50Don't worry, Ida has one, I'm sure.
01:00:53What are these drawers?
01:00:55Oh!
01:00:59Gingerbread man.
01:01:01What's this?
01:01:04It's Ida's secret Christmas cookie recipe.
01:01:07Give it to me.
01:01:09And the secret ingredient is...
01:01:13Cornflake cereal.
01:01:15No, it's not.
01:01:17No wonder she kept it a secret.
01:01:19I'm going to make hundreds of these cookies,
01:01:21but I want you to swear to me
01:01:23that you will never tell a living soul
01:01:26the secret of the cornflakes.
01:01:28I swear it.
01:01:30Zoe Hathaway, it's sure nice having you back in town.
01:01:32Hello?
01:01:34Hi, Zoe.
01:01:36Your reindeer's here again.
01:01:38Oh, no.
01:01:50Well, I'm glad you're here.
01:01:52Palmer's down by the fence, as usual.
01:01:54We've got one plane circling, he can't land.
01:01:57Oh, Zoe, I'm afraid you're going to have to
01:01:59be another fine.
01:02:01Rules are rules.
01:02:03No, I understand.
01:02:05Not your fault.
01:02:09Palmer.
01:02:11Come here.
01:02:13He's tracked on to something
01:02:15on the other side of the fence.
01:02:17How does he keep getting out?
01:02:19I'm not sure, but it's driving me crazy.
01:02:21Maybe he flies.
01:02:23That is the best answer we have right now.
01:02:25What is he seeing?
01:02:27I don't know, I don't see anything.
01:02:29Well, where did you come from?
01:02:31Sadie.
01:02:33Sadie.
01:02:35Hello.
01:02:37Hi.
01:02:40Is there a reindeer convention I didn't know about?
01:02:43There you are, girl.
01:02:45You've got to stop scaring me like this.
01:02:47Sadie, she keeps coming here.
01:02:49Palmer keeps coming here.
01:02:51It's like they knew each other.
01:02:53Where did you get her?
01:02:55From a guy in Tuscola who was moving out of state.
01:02:57Palmer came from Tuscola.
01:02:59I didn't know there were two reindeer.
01:03:01They must have been a pair that got split up.
01:03:04And they've been coming back here to find each other.
01:03:07Oh.
01:03:09Any chance you've got room for Palmer?
01:03:12And one more.
01:03:14Sweet old lady named Holly.
01:03:16I wish I did.
01:03:18I've got horses and goats,
01:03:20and barely enough room for Sadie.
01:03:22My wife says if I bring home one more animal,
01:03:24I've got to build a bigger barn and a stall for me.
01:03:26We don't want that.
01:03:27Come on, girl.
01:03:29Time to go home.
01:03:31Oh, don't look at me like that, guys.
01:03:34You're killing me.
01:03:37I can't believe you took another one.
01:03:40You're supposed to be finding homes for the ones you already have.
01:03:43Palmer and Sadie were looking for each other.
01:03:46They need to be together.
01:03:48Sure.
01:03:50Good night, you two.
01:03:52Good night.
01:03:54See ya.
01:03:56I'm really glad they got a happy ending.
01:03:59Some couple's just meant to be, huh?
01:04:04We have the whole town coming tomorrow,
01:04:06and we still have a lot of work to do.
01:04:09You ready to get up in that tree one last time?
01:04:11I've been thinking about your pictures.
01:04:14How would you feel if we put them up on the wall?
01:04:21Yeah, I don't think so.
01:04:23Why not?
01:04:25Isn't it kind of like...
01:04:27showing off?
01:04:29No, they're beautiful.
01:04:31They deserve to be shown off.
01:04:33You really think so?
01:04:35I really do.
01:04:39Let's get back to work.
01:04:55Okay.
01:05:13I think we're ready.
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:17So where is everybody?
01:05:19I don't know.
01:05:21Maybe I was wrong about how excited people were.
01:05:23I know.
01:05:28Hey, what's going on?
01:05:30A giant tree just fell across the main road.
01:05:32The road crew says that they can't get it moved today.
01:05:35Oh, no.
01:05:37Well, maybe everybody could take the trail.
01:05:39It's too narrow for cars. It would take all day.
01:05:42We're going to have to cancel the festival.
01:05:54Oh, man.
01:05:57This happened the first year I worked for Gus.
01:05:59It took him a week to get the road clear.
01:06:01Oh, man!
01:06:03Feel better?
01:06:05A little bit.
01:06:09Hey, look at that.
01:06:11What?
01:06:13What's that?
01:06:15Hey!
01:06:17Hey!
01:06:19Hey!
01:06:21Hey!
01:06:23People are coming.
01:06:25Hey!
01:06:34Hey, Zoe!
01:06:36We heard this party is BYOC.
01:06:38What does that mean?
01:06:40Bring your own cable.
01:06:42Half the town is on their way to help till this tree out of the road.
01:06:45That's right.
01:06:47We are not missing this festival for anything.
01:06:49I love this town.
01:06:54Who's this now?
01:06:57Mom!
01:06:59Dad!
01:07:01Surprise!
01:07:03Oh, Mom!
01:07:05What are you doing here?
01:07:07We couldn't do Christmas without you.
01:07:09We booked a flight.
01:07:11We were worried you wouldn't get a seat.
01:07:13But you got a seat.
01:07:15Well, that was no problem.
01:07:17We'll be flying from Florida to Alaska in the dead of winter.
01:07:19Except us.
01:07:21You hate the cold.
01:07:23We love you more.
01:07:27Here they come.
01:07:28I love you.
01:07:51Ida never gave me the recipe.
01:07:53Are you going to share?
01:07:55Never.
01:07:59When is Santa coming?
01:08:01Any minute now.
01:08:03Are you sure?
01:08:06He'll be here.
01:08:08I promise.
01:08:10I think Gus' Santa suit will fit you perfectly.
01:08:13Is that wool?
01:08:15Yeah, it is. And there's a cape, too.
01:08:17None like fake fur and real wool to keep you warm.
01:08:20Otto is allergic to wool.
01:08:22Severely allergic.
01:08:24You don't want a Santa with hives.
01:08:26Honey, I'll be fine. Don't worry about it.
01:08:28Is there anyone else you can find?
01:08:33No.
01:08:35Please!
01:08:37No. I'm happy to take pictures.
01:08:39We don't need a photographer. We need a Santa.
01:08:41Come on. You don't want to disappoint all those little kids, do you?
01:08:47All right.
01:08:49Yes!
01:08:51But I'm not wearing the cape.
01:08:54We'll see about that.
01:08:59Ho, ho, ho!
01:09:04My sleigh!
01:09:06Santa, you came!
01:09:08I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
01:09:13Hop on up.
01:09:16I love you, Santa.
01:09:20Well, what do you want for Christmas?
01:09:23Page four is the most important.
01:09:25Page four!
01:09:26Page four!
01:09:28You're very prepared.
01:09:49Alec, I had no idea you were so talented.
01:09:52These photos are gorgeous.
01:09:53The one of Zoe is my absolute favorite.
01:09:58You're welcome.
01:10:01If you'll excuse me.
01:10:09Hi.
01:10:12You look beautiful.
01:10:18Do you want to dance?
01:10:20Yeah.
01:10:23All right.
01:10:44What a wonderful party, huh?
01:10:45Yeah!
01:10:51On behalf of the entire town of Aurora,
01:10:55thank you to our host, Zoe Hathaway.
01:11:03Welcome home, Zoe.
01:11:05We missed you.
01:11:07And thank you to Alec Wynn.
01:11:10It took a little while to get to know you,
01:11:12but I think he's a real asset to our town.
01:11:15He put all his time and heart into all of this.
01:11:19And now we know what a great photographer he is!
01:11:29So come on, let's keep on dancing, everybody.
01:11:32Have a great time tonight.
01:11:42It's a little hot in here, huh?
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45You want to take a walk?
01:11:46Yes, I will go get the coats.
01:11:47Okay.
01:12:13Oh, thanks for coming, you guys.
01:12:16So, I couldn't find the coat.
01:12:20But I found this.
01:12:27Let me see if I can do it.
01:12:29Oh, wow.
01:12:37I love it.
01:12:41Shall we?
01:12:42Yeah.
01:12:45Okay.
01:12:59I think we did good here, Zoe.
01:13:01Yeah, I think so, too.
01:13:04Oh, look.
01:13:06It's here in time for Christmas.
01:13:15Zoe!
01:13:16There you are!
01:13:17Oh, my goodness, this festival is wonderful!
01:13:19I want to make it an annual event.
01:13:21You would.
01:13:22I'm getting ahead of myself.
01:13:24Can you meet me tomorrow morning?
01:13:25I am ready to make a formal offer.
01:13:29Well, this is happening fast.
01:13:31Well, it just shows you how interested we are.
01:13:33I've read all the details.
01:13:34You are going to be very happy.
01:13:35You're finally going to get your plane.
01:13:38Wow.
01:13:39These trees aren't going anywhere.
01:13:41I didn't appreciate them until I saw them with the lights.
01:13:43Okay.
01:13:44This is sounding good.
01:13:45Good.
01:13:46This is great.
01:13:47Okay, now I want you to go enjoy your party.
01:13:49I need you at the office at 9 a.m. to sign those documents.
01:13:51Okay.
01:13:52I'll see you then, Zoe.
01:13:53Okay.
01:13:54Bye.
01:13:56Well, it sounds like you'll be getting your dream after all.
01:14:01Yeah, it sounds like it could be the perfect offer.
01:14:05Yeah, it really does.
01:14:09Well, it's been nice helping you with all this.
01:14:14Yeah, it's been nice working with you.
01:14:19Good night, Zoe.
01:14:40All right, Mom. I'll see you soon.
01:14:42You off to sign the papers?
01:14:44Yeah.
01:14:45Hey.
01:14:47For someone who's about to have a dream come true, you don't look very happy.
01:14:50No, I'm happy.
01:14:52Zoe?
01:14:56I'm your mother.
01:14:58I flew 5,000 miles to be with you.
01:15:01Come on. Tell me what's going on.
01:15:04You know, I just thought I knew where my life was headed.
01:15:08I was going to buy my plane. I was going to live in Seattle.
01:15:12My whole future was set. Forever.
01:15:15Have you changed your mind?
01:15:17I just love this ranch.
01:15:20And I love Aurora.
01:15:22I love that the people here know my name, and they're happy to see me.
01:15:28I love my reindeer.
01:15:32I need to find them good homes.
01:15:34I just...
01:15:37I wish things could be different.
01:15:39Maybe things can be different.
01:15:44Thanks, Mom.
01:15:47I'll see you soon.
01:15:49Hey.
01:15:51Is it all right if I invite a few people over for a Christmas Eve open house?
01:15:56Are you asking me for permission to throw a party?
01:15:58I think it'd be nice to have one last celebration here.
01:16:01I think it would be nice, too.
01:16:03You kids have fun.
01:16:09Thanks.
01:16:16Hey, guys. I'm going to go see Karen, and then I'll come back and help.
01:16:27Wow.
01:16:29I don't want to sound like Ganya, but you've got to tell Zoe how you feel about her.
01:16:32It's too late.
01:16:33I called the tour company.
01:16:35They've got a spot for me if I can get going soon.
01:16:39Nah, they're swamped at the diner. I've got to go to work.
01:16:43You've got to tell her how you feel.
01:16:45And you've got to get going.
01:16:47If you get hungry, swing by Otto's. There's always a seat with your name on it.
01:16:51Thanks.
01:16:52Yeah.
01:17:10Hi, Zoe. Best festival ever. Can't wait for next year.
01:17:13Aw, thanks.
01:17:16Yay!
01:17:18It's been so nice having you back home. I wish you could stay.
01:17:21I promise I'll come visit.
01:17:23Make sure you do.
01:17:25Merry Christmas.
01:17:26Merry Christmas. I'll see you soon.
01:17:28Zoe!
01:17:30Hi, Zoe.
01:17:32Hi.
01:17:34Hi.
01:17:36Hi.
01:17:37Merry Christmas. I'll see you soon.
01:17:38Zoe!
01:17:39Oh, hi.
01:17:40Thank you for giving us another festival. It was like having a little bit of Gus and Ida back.
01:17:44I loved doing it.
01:17:46You must be happy to be going back home to your exciting life in Seattle.
01:17:49Yes. Yes, I'm really happy.
01:17:53I've got to run. Merry Christmas.
01:17:55Merry Christmas.
01:17:56Bye.
01:18:08Good morning.
01:18:09Hey. Well, I have your contracts all ready to be signed.
01:18:13I'm really sorry.
01:18:17No. Actually, I'm not sorry.
01:18:21I've decided to keep the ranch.
01:18:24I know that this might seem sudden to you, but all the pieces are just kind of clicking into place.
01:18:30And I've been traveling my whole life, and I think I've finally figured out where I belong.
01:18:34My heart is here.
01:18:37It's not in Seattle.
01:18:40It's in Aurora.
01:18:42But what about flying?
01:18:43I can still work out of Fairbanks.
01:18:45Fairbanks is four hours away.
01:18:47Listen, it's not perfect, but I think it would be worth it to be able to come home to the ranch.
01:18:53To my ranch.
01:18:58Anyway, I am sorry to have wasted your time.
01:19:01You know what? Life's not all about business.
01:19:05I'm happy you found your home.
01:19:09I am too.
01:19:16Oh, cute!
01:19:18Yeah, I know. The baby will be here any minute.
01:19:20So, I just wanted to make sure there was a present under the tree, just in case.
01:19:23Well, if you ever need a babysitter, I'm really good with kids.
01:19:27Wait, I thought you were selling.
01:19:28Oh, I decided not to. I'm staying in Aurora.
01:19:31You are? All right.
01:19:33Well, look, with the baby coming, I need to be closer to home.
01:19:36So, I'm taking Chuck's job in the airfield.
01:19:40And that means this town will be short a pilot.
01:19:42What would you say about leasing my plane and taking over my route?
01:19:46I'd say Christmas is coming early.
01:19:49Okay.
01:19:51All right.
01:19:53Okay.
01:19:55All right.
01:20:23All right.
01:20:24Here you go.
01:20:26Let's top you off a little.
01:20:27Thanks, darling.
01:20:28Of course. Merry Christmas.
01:20:33Okay, what can I do to help?
01:20:35You know what? I think we got this Christmas Eve feast under control.
01:20:39You sure you're okay?
01:20:40Yeah, I will be.
01:20:43Hey, have you seen Chuck?
01:20:45No, I haven't.
01:20:46He's not here.
01:20:47He's not here?
01:20:48No.
01:20:49He'll be.
01:20:51Hey, I was wondering.
01:20:53This is a big ranch.
01:20:55And I think I might get a little lonely with just me and the reindeer.
01:21:01How would you guys feel about helping me run this place as a bed and breakfast?
01:21:09Yes.
01:21:10Really?
01:21:11You would do it?
01:21:12Oh, yeah.
01:21:13The ranch would make a great B&B.
01:21:14I just, Gus gave me this wonderful gift.
01:21:16I think we need to share it with the world.
01:21:18Oh, my gosh.
01:21:24You know, I knew from the moment that we drove up here that you were not going to sell this ranch.
01:21:29You're going to be very happy here.
01:21:32I think so, too.
01:21:37Alec?
01:21:40I'm sorry to take you away from your party.
01:21:43Can I talk to you for a minute?
01:21:44In private?
01:21:46Yeah, sure.
01:21:49Okay.
01:21:52I drove 50 miles out of town.
01:21:56And I asked myself, um, what am I doing?
01:22:02So I stopped the truck and I thought about things.
01:22:06What kinds of things?
01:22:08I never put down roots.
01:22:10Because I was always off chasing the next big adventure.
01:22:14But what if the biggest adventure of all was you and I starting a life together?
01:22:19It doesn't have to be Alaska.
01:22:22It can be Seattle.
01:22:24It can be anything you want.
01:22:28Well, how would you like to build a life with me and Aurora?
01:22:34What?
01:22:35I decided not to sell.
01:22:38I'm keeping the ranch.
01:22:49I would love to start a life with you and Aurora.
01:23:13I love you.
01:23:43I love you, too.
01:24:14I love you.
01:24:16I love you.
01:24:18I love you.
01:24:20I love you.
