- No, that Christmas feeling,

29
00:00:54.837 --> 00:00:56.273
when you feel like a kid again

30
00:00:56.317 --> 00:00:57.535

for no particular reason

31

makes you smile.

150
00:07:10.038 --> 00:07:11.605

- Wait, what?
Over asking?

154
00:07:18.873 --> 00:07:20.135
Who does that?
Who does that?

155
00:07:20.222 --> 00:07:21.136
- Someone who knows
there's another bid

156
00:07:21.179 --> 00:07:22.659
and wants to compete.

157
00:07:22.746 --> 00:07:25.532
- I'm sorry, but my duty
is to the seller.

158
00:07:25.575 --> 00:07:28.012

00:24:53.448 --> 00:24:57.539
And you, young man, what are
your plans for the building?

474
00:24:57.626 --> 00:25:00.020
- My plan is to open
a gourmet chocolate shop.

475
00:25:00.107 --> 00:25:01.717
It's the perfect location,

476
00:25:01.804 --> 00:25:03.327
and who doesn't love
a good truffle, huh?

477
00:25:06.635 --> 00:25:08.245
- Pretty good chocolatier,
are you, son?

478
00:25:08.332 --> 00:25:09.812
- I've been cooking
since I was a kid,

479
00:25:09.899 --> 00:25:11.858
but yeah, chocolate's
definitely my specialty.

480
00:25:14.774 --> 00:25:16.427
- Well, I hope
you both understand

481
00:25:16.471 --> 00:25:18.821
that I'm not going to make
a decision right away.

482
00:25:18.908 --> 00:25:23.391
I have an awful lot
on my mind right now.

483
00:25:23.478 --> 00:25:25.654
- Are--are you okay?

484
00:25:27.308 --> 00:25:29.615
- I'm not gonna burden you
with my problems.

485
00:25:29.658 --> 00:25:32.095
- Hey, we're the ones
who barged in on you.

486
00:25:32.182 --> 00:25:34.010
Feel free to vent.
It'll make you feel better.

487
00:25:34.097 --> 00:25:36.709
- Okay.

488
00:25:36.796 --> 00:25:39.407
I just came back
from a breakfast meeting

489
00:25:39.494 --> 00:25:42.236
of the Main Street
Merchants Association.

490
00:25:42.323 --> 00:25:45.805
Now, every year, we have
a decorating contest--

491
00:25:45.892 --> 00:25:49.112
a battle, actually, between
the Main Streets of our town

492
00:25:49.199 --> 00:25:50.766
here in Castle Creek

493
00:25:50.853 --> 00:25:53.682
and our neighboring town
of Crystal.

494
00:25:53.769 --> 00:25:56.642
- Well, that sounds like fun.
- Well, yes,

495
00:25:56.729 --> 00:25:58.426
it's supposed to be,

496
00:25:58.513 --> 00:26:00.515
but a lot of people
forget the fun,

497
00:26:00.602 --> 00:26:02.778
and they let their egos
get in the way,

498
00:26:02.865 --> 00:26:05.085
which is probably why
we've lost this contest

499
00:26:05.172 --> 00:26:07.435
for the last five years
running,

500
00:26:07.478 --> 00:26:09.219
and my Tina and I,

501
00:26:09.306 --> 00:26:12.179
we'd cochair the event
every year.

502
00:26:12.266 --> 00:26:14.137
I don't wanna let
anybody down this year,

503
00:26:14.224 --> 00:26:17.097
but I am just not in the mood.

504
00:26:21.623 --> 00:26:23.407
- I can help you.

505
00:26:25.018 --> 00:26:26.497
- I couldn't ask you
to do that.

506
00:26:26.541 --> 00:26:29.109
- Are you kidding?
Christmas is my life.

507
00:26:29.196 --> 00:26:30.545
My parents are traveling,

508
00:26:30.632 --> 00:26:31.938
and I won't see them
till after the New Year,

509
00:26:32.025 --> 00:26:33.330
and my roommate is flying home
to see her family,

510
00:26:33.417 --> 00:26:36.159
so basically, I'm free.

511
00:26:36.246 --> 00:26:39.249
I'll get a room in town.
I would love to help you.

512
00:26:41.774 --> 00:26:45.255
- It's a lot of work.
- I don't mind work.

513
00:26:45.342 --> 00:26:46.996
- Neither do I.
I wanna help too.

514
00:26:47.083 --> 00:26:49.129
- That's really not necessary.
- It'll be my pleasure.

515
00:26:49.216 --> 00:26:50.609
My parents are in Seattle
for Christmas,

516
00:26:50.696 --> 00:26:52.349
so I have all the time
in the world

517
00:26:52.436 --> 00:26:53.829
to help bring a victory home
for your Main Street.

518
00:26:53.873 --> 00:26:55.918
- Really, Vic,
Elder and I are just fine.

519
00:26:56.005 --> 00:27:00.009
- Actually, Elder would prefer
to bow out of this altogether,

520
00:27:00.096 --> 00:27:01.445
but I would feel better
about it

521
00:27:01.532 --> 00:27:03.012
if I knew that one person

522
00:27:03.056 --> 00:27:05.014
wasn't being stuck
with all the work.

523
00:27:05.101 --> 00:27:08.409
- Sounds like a plan.
I'll get a room in town too.

524
00:27:08.496 --> 00:27:10.846

525

This is a cozy room

about decorating Main Street.

and the only thing
I need from you is to leave

for this house.

- Mm.

568
00:29:20.671 --> 00:29:22.673
Elder told us to make ourselves
at home while he was out,

569
00:29:22.761 --> 00:29:24.153
not give it a makeover.

570
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.156
- This house is crying
for Christmas cheer.

to decorate

572
00:29:28.941 --> 00:29:31.160
for his first Christmas
without his wife did you miss?

00:32:22.462 --> 00:32:23.680
I bet you're hoping that Elder

631
00:32:23.767 --> 00:32:25.334
likes your Christmas
decorations

632
00:32:25.421 --> 00:32:27.119
more than he loves
my chocolate gingerbread cake.

633
00:32:27.206 --> 00:32:29.164
- You know, there is
such a thing as a mixer.

634
00:32:29.208 --> 00:32:32.037
- Oh, no, no, no,
I only mix by hand.

635
00:32:32.124 --> 00:32:33.342
It's the personal touch
that's gonna separate

636
00:32:33.386 --> 00:32:35.649
my chocolate shop
from the rest.

637
00:32:35.736 --> 00:32:37.477
- Oh, let me know
where you set up shop.

638
00:32:39.827 --> 00:32:41.698
I think that's a little uneven.

639
00:32:41.785 --> 00:32:44.005
- You can actually help me
instead of just watching me

640
00:32:44.092 --> 00:32:46.486
with your beady eyes
and criticizing me.

beady little eyes.

They're not beady,

644
00:32:53.797 --> 00:32:55.974
but I still feel them boring
into the back of my head.

645
00:32:59.586 --> 00:33:01.327
- Wish I could help you
with that ladder,

646
00:33:01.414 --> 00:33:03.503
but my hands are full
mixing up this Christmas magic.

Well, if you think
whatever Christmas magic

Elder more than my decorations,

I went back to the Main Street
Association to tell them

666
00:34:24.845 --> 00:34:26.803
that I was handing over
all the chairman duties

667

of the contest to you two.

669
00:34:29.850 --> 00:34:31.591
- About as well as you
could expect.

670
00:34:31.678 --> 00:34:34.550
They balked at the idea of
handing it over to strangers,

671
00:34:34.637 --> 00:34:39.033
but I explained to them
that an unbiased party

672
00:34:39.120 --> 00:34:43.907
that wouldn't play favorites
was exactly what they needed.

- Well, favorites, aren't
they all on the same team?

674
00:34:46.432 --> 00:34:49.043
- Well, you would think so,
yes, but every year,

675
00:34:49.130 --> 00:34:51.219
it's just the same old thing
over and over again.

what I'm ready for right now--

It smells really good.

hot chocolate to serve with it.

684

- Oh, don't bother.

685
00:35:13.198 --> 00:35:17.289
- Oh, it's not a bother.
I'll just mix it and serve.

686
00:35:17.376 --> 00:35:20.683
- Actually, I shaved some
chocolate for the hot cocoa.

687
00:35:20.770 --> 00:35:22.685
It's way better than the mix,
a lot more work

688
00:35:22.772 --> 00:35:24.078
but totally worth it.

689
00:35:24.165 --> 00:35:25.862
It's what I'm gonna serve
at my shop.

690
00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:27.690
You know, why don't you two go
just head into the living room,

691
00:35:27.777 --> 00:35:30.693
and I'll bring out the cocoa
and the cake?

692
00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:32.695

to this.

765
00:39:01.643 --> 00:39:04.951
- So what were you gonna do

- Alone?

768
00:39:08.737 --> 00:39:10.609
Some might say you got
a great personality,

Christmas with someone special.

- So some might say I have
a great personality?

771
00:39:17.529 --> 00:39:19.792
- Great-ish...

772
00:39:19.879 --> 00:39:23.622
when you're not slamming doors
in people's faces.

782

two full-time jobs.

784
00:39:42.075 --> 00:39:43.816
Plus, I already took off time

785
00:39:43.903 --> 00:39:45.687
in hopes

As you guys know,
Elder has asked me and Vic

838
00:42:47.260 --> 00:42:48.566
to step in as cochairs

839
00:42:48.653 --> 00:42:50.655
of the Battle of Main Streets
contest.

840
00:42:50.698 --> 00:42:53.571
- And we know each year, one
of your stores is highlighted

841
00:42:53.614 --> 00:42:55.790
as part of
the Winter Wonderland theme.

842
00:42:55.877 --> 00:42:59.402
- It's my turn this year.
- Is it?

843
00:42:59.489 --> 00:43:02.492
Um, well, Vic and I
were thinking that maybe--

844
00:43:02.580 --> 00:43:04.103
- Were you?

845
00:43:04.146 --> 00:43:06.671
About how to play up
my pottery shop?

846
00:43:06.758 --> 00:43:08.411
You might have consulted me

847
00:43:08.498 --> 00:43:10.109
before you started
thinking.

848
00:43:10.196 --> 00:43:12.981
- Uh, I think what Amelia
was trying to say

849
00:43:13.068 --> 00:43:16.202
is that maybe this year,
we shake things up.

850
00:43:16.289 --> 00:43:18.204
Huh?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

851

I have waited five years for my
turn in the contest spotlight,

852
00:43:22.077 --> 00:43:25.515
so if your "big idea" involves
anything other than that,

853
00:43:25.603 --> 00:43:28.083
I suggest you return
to the drawing board.

just let them speak?

858

right now.

946
00:48:36.522 --> 00:48:38.350
him and I talked
about the contest.

947
00:48:38.437 --> 00:48:40.743
It's been a tradition with
the local TV station for years,

948
00:48:40.830 --> 00:48:42.876
so I went on their website
to see why Castle Creek

949
00:48:42.963 --> 00:48:44.704

for so many.

950

There's cohesion in Crystal.

from year to year.

953
00:48:53.974 --> 00:48:57.717
Red and green,
silver and gold,

954
00:48:57.804 --> 00:49:00.198
red and gold.

955

that involves everyone equally,

Winter Wonderland for a change?

I mean, the bows, the glitter,
the carols--all of it.

984

But it's more than that.
It's a feeling.

985
00:50:37.121 --> 00:50:38.992
I was an only child growing up,

986
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:40.994
and my parents were really busy
growing their own company,

987
00:50:41.081 --> 00:50:42.909
so Christmas
was the only time of year

988
00:50:42.996 --> 00:50:44.345
where they'd actually
slow down

989

00:57:08.860 --> 00:57:11.079
- But you said you were right.
- Well, I was, I was,

1102
00:57:11.166 --> 00:57:13.517
but a big old "I told you so"

1103
00:57:13.560 --> 00:57:17.825
from a meddling father
doesn't help matters much.

1104
00:57:17.869 --> 00:57:20.567
- Well, I'm so sorry.

1105
00:57:20.654 --> 00:57:24.049
- Well, she did come
to her mother's funeral,

1106
00:57:24.136 --> 00:57:28.619
and we had
a civil conversation.

1107
00:57:28.706 --> 00:57:30.838
I was kinda hoping we could put
our past behind us,

1108
00:57:30.882 --> 00:57:34.146
but, uh, I haven't heard
from her since.

1109
00:57:35.669 --> 00:57:38.585
But we all have our stories,
don't we,

1110
00:57:38.672 --> 00:57:40.805
our family histories?

1111
00:57:40.892 --> 00:57:42.502
And I'm not gonna bore you
with any more of mine, okay?

1112
00:57:42.546 --> 00:57:44.156
- Oh, no, no,

1113
00:57:44.243 --> 00:57:46.680
I think family histories
are the opposite of boring.

1114
00:57:46.767 --> 00:57:48.377
I mean,
it's what ties us together.

1115
00:57:48.465 --> 00:57:49.422
- Hmm.

1116
00:57:51.685 --> 00:57:52.991
- Maybe she'll get
in the holiday spirit

1117
00:57:53.034 --> 00:57:54.688
and reach out this year.

1118
00:57:54.732 --> 00:57:58.344
Or maybe you should--
- Oh, no, no, no.

Best leave
sleeping dogs lie, trust me.

So Vic and I have done
some research

1139
00:58:51.571 --> 00:58:55.009
on the history of this town,
and it sparked an idea.

1140
00:58:56.968 --> 00:58:59.274
- Oh, jeez.

1141
00:58:59.361 --> 00:59:01.320
- Yes, Rowena?

1142
00:59:01.407 --> 00:59:05.106
- My ancestors
founded this town.

1143
00:59:05.150 --> 00:59:08.501
- And that's great.
It's what we want to celebrate.

1144
00:59:08.588 --> 00:59:10.634
- Wait, what do you mean,
"celebrate"?

1145
00:59:10.677 --> 00:59:12.461
- Well, every year, you use
the Winter Wonderland theme

1146
00:59:12.505 --> 00:59:13.724
because it gives each of you
an opportunity

1147
00:59:13.811 --> 00:59:15.464
to spotlight your businesses.

1148
00:59:15.508 --> 00:59:17.379
- Yeah, but what if this year,
we could spotlight

1149
00:59:17.466 --> 00:59:19.643
all the businesses
in the same theme?

1150
00:59:19.730 --> 00:59:22.428
- No, no, it's my turn.

1151
00:59:22.515 --> 00:59:24.386
- Wait, hear us out.

1152
00:59:24.473 --> 00:59:27.738
Let Castle Creek's history
tell a story.

1153
00:59:27.781 --> 00:59:30.479
Each of your businesses
represents a chapter.

1154
00:59:30.523 --> 00:59:32.525
Then we walk the judges
through the chapters,

1155
00:59:32.612 --> 00:59:34.919
celebrating Main Street's past.

1156
00:59:37.312 --> 00:59:39.271
- That sounds like
a great idea.

1157
00:59:39.358 --> 00:59:40.968
- I like--yeah, I like that.
- I mean, Winter Wonderland

1158
00:59:41.055 --> 00:59:42.927
hasn't exactly been
working for us.

1159
00:59:43.014 --> 00:59:45.146
- So we're just gonna pretend
that this keeps

1160
00:59:45.233 --> 00:59:46.931
with our tradition, Billy?

1161
00:59:47.018 --> 00:59:49.150
- Maybe this year,
we buck tradition.

1162
00:59:49.237 --> 00:59:51.065
- Now, we know that you were
really looking forward

1163
00:59:51.152 --> 00:59:55.243
to your shop being
the focus of the competition,

1164
00:59:55.330 --> 00:59:59.465
and we think that
there's a way we can do that.

1165
00:59:59.508 --> 01:00:02.642
Your shop will be the first

1166
01:00:02.686 --> 01:00:05.297
and the last chapters.

1167
01:00:07.212 --> 01:00:10.302
The story will end
where it began.

1168
01:00:10.389 --> 01:00:12.696
- As a descendant
from the founding family

1169
01:00:12.739 --> 01:00:15.481
of Castle Creek,
we think it's only right,

1170
01:00:15.568 --> 01:00:18.876
not to mention we want you
to escort the judges.

1171
01:00:18.919 --> 01:00:23.881
- So the cameras would begin
and end at my shop?

1172
01:00:23.924 --> 01:00:26.971
And I would be with the judges
for the whole entire time?

1173
01:00:28.494 --> 01:00:31.453
I guess that seems fitting.

1174
01:00:31.540 --> 01:00:34.456
I guess I could sacrifice my
turn for the good of the town.

1175
01:00:34.543 --> 01:00:35.980
- Yes!
- Yes!

1176
01:00:36.023 --> 01:00:38.678
Oh, my God.

01:00:38.722 --> 01:00:42.464

1178
01:00:42.551 --> 01:00:44.118
- All right, guys,
I know it's a lot of work,

1179
01:00:44.205 --> 01:00:45.990
but we can do it.

1180
01:00:46.077 --> 01:00:47.382
- And we just need you all
to decide

1181
01:00:47.426 --> 01:00:49.036
what chapters
you're gonna be, okay?

1182
01:00:49.123 --> 01:00:51.082
And Amelia and I
are here to help.

1183
01:00:51.169 --> 01:00:52.997
- Sounds like we have a lot
of work to do

1184
01:00:53.084 --> 01:00:55.042
and not a lot of time to do it.

1185
01:00:55.129 --> 01:00:57.610
Count me in.
I'll help anyone who needs it.

That's the spirit.
