[reporter]: It's
officially Christmas time
13
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:39,204
here at
the Radcliffe Center,
14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,040
and all of Chicago
is gathered
15
00:00:41,075 --> 00:00:42,074
to watch the lighting
16
00:00:42,109 --> 00:00:43,542
of the Radcliffe
Christmas tree,
17
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:45,110
and here with us,
18
00:00:45,146 --> 00:00:47,980
we have Chicago's
very own "Miss Christmas."
19
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:50,115
You can call me Holly.
20
00:00:50,151 --> 00:00:51,083
Oh, Holly,
and you are the one to thank
21
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:52,484
for that stunning tree.
22
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,287
We are only moments away
now from the lighting,
23
00:00:55,322 --> 00:00:57,222
and Holly is
the creative director
24
00:00:57,258 --> 00:00:58,624
for the Radcliffe Center,
25
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:00,926
and each year,
she finds, transports,
26
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:02,161
and facilitates
27
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,797
decorating Chicago's
Christmas tree.
28
00:01:04,832 --> 00:01:06,231
It's a dream job come true.
29
00:01:06,267 --> 00:01:08,100
[crowd]: Nine, eight, seven,
30
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:09,601
six, five...
31
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:11,236
Here we go!
32
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:13,338
[crowd]:
Three, two, one!
33
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:14,973
[cheering]
34
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:24,516
[reporter]:
Isn't that beautiful?
35
00:01:24,552 --> 00:01:27,286
Chicago's symbol of Christmas.
36
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:29,121
[over TV recording]:
I have no doubt
37
00:01:29,156 --> 00:01:32,658
that next year's tree will be
bigger and better than ever.
38
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:34,093
No pressure.
39
00:01:34,128 --> 00:01:36,462
I can't believe a
year's gone by already.
40
00:01:36,497 --> 00:01:37,996
For once in my life,
41
00:01:38,032 --> 00:01:39,164
I thought I made it
to the office before you.
42
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,632
There's always tomorrow.
43
00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:42,835
Thanks. You're a lifesaver.
44
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:44,770
Today is definitely
a coffee kind of day.
45
00:01:44,805 --> 00:01:46,138
I did not get
any sleep last night,
46
00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:47,106
and I have a million
things to do.
47
00:01:47,141 --> 00:01:48,373
Is one of those things
48
00:01:48,409 --> 00:01:49,942
watching last year's
tree ceremony
49
00:01:49,977 --> 00:01:51,376
for the hundredth time?
50
00:01:51,412 --> 00:01:53,378
You know how happy
it makes me,
51
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:55,380
and right now, I need
all the reassurance I can get.
52
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:56,782
Holly, relax.
53
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:59,885
I just spoke with transport,
and all is good.
54
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,187
They've secured the trunk.
They're about ready to cut.
55
00:02:02,223 --> 00:02:03,288
The tree will be here
by tonight.
56
00:02:03,324 --> 00:02:04,223
Yeah, fingers crossed.
57
00:02:04,258 --> 00:02:05,023
[phone rings]
58
00:02:05,059 --> 00:02:06,658
Hello?
59
00:02:06,694 --> 00:02:08,560
Okay, yeah, yeah,
I'll be right there.
60
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,832
I still think
I should've gone out there.
61
00:02:13,868 --> 00:02:14,867
I always go...
62
00:02:14,902 --> 00:02:16,201
And run yourself ragged,
63
00:02:16,237 --> 00:02:17,236
and micro-manage
everything,
64
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:18,704
and end up exhausted
65
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:20,172
and unable to enjoy
the tree lighting ceremony.
66
00:02:20,207 --> 00:02:21,507
Yeah.
67
00:02:21,542 --> 00:02:22,975
That's my Christmas
tradition.
68
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,544
Why don't we find
a new tradition this year?
69
00:02:25,579 --> 00:02:27,546
Like what?
70
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:29,348
Like getting
out of our comfort zone,
71
00:02:29,383 --> 00:02:30,816
back on the market?
72
00:02:30,851 --> 00:02:32,317
I got us two tickets
73
00:02:32,353 --> 00:02:33,819
to a speed dating event.
74
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:35,521
[squeals]
75
00:02:35,556 --> 00:02:36,755
Do you have anything else
to wear, though?
76
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:38,056
'Cause it looks
77
00:02:38,092 --> 00:02:39,825
like Mrs. Claus
chose your outfit again.
78
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:41,226
I think you should be
a little nicer
79
00:02:41,262 --> 00:02:43,061
to someone who brings you coffee
every morning
80
00:02:43,097 --> 00:02:44,396
and who is your boss...
81
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,034
and I appreciate you
thinking of me, but no.
82
00:02:49,069 --> 00:02:51,336
Look, I have to be here
for when the tree arrives,
83
00:02:51,372 --> 00:02:52,771
and I've so much to do.
84
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:54,439
All you do is work.
85
00:02:54,475 --> 00:02:55,507
That's not true.
86
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:56,675
I do other things.
87
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:57,876
Yeah?
88
00:02:57,912 --> 00:03:00,279
-Like what?
-Like...
89
00:03:00,314 --> 00:03:01,446
like Christmas!
90
00:03:01,482 --> 00:03:02,781
-Oh.
-Okay?
91
00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:04,116
And after the Radcliffe
tree arrives,
92
00:03:04,151 --> 00:03:05,784
I'm going to go home
and decorate my tree.
93
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:07,586
There's 24 more days
until Christmas.
94
00:03:07,621 --> 00:03:09,021
I know,
and I'm running out of time.
95
00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:10,789
Listen, Erin,
96
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,124
I appreciate
your ongoing meddling
97
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:13,192
into my personal life,
98
00:03:13,227 --> 00:03:14,860
but I'm a little
busy right now,
99
00:03:14,895 --> 00:03:16,895
orchestrating
cutting down...
100
00:03:16,931 --> 00:03:18,397
[both]:
A 95-foot-tall spruce
101
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:19,565
and getting it trucked
across the state.
102
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,766
-Really?
-I'm sorry.
103
00:03:20,801 --> 00:03:22,367
I just...
104
00:03:22,403 --> 00:03:23,936
I want to see you
spend the holidays with someone.
105
00:03:23,971 --> 00:03:25,470
And I want that too.
106
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:26,972
It's just...
107
00:03:27,007 --> 00:03:28,273
I'm busy right now,
108
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:29,808
and I'm trying
to focus on my career.
109
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,043
Dating takes time,
110
00:03:31,078 --> 00:03:33,145
and it's really
distracting.
111
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:35,314
I just want to get my career
to where it needs to be,
112
00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:36,548
and then...
113
00:03:36,584 --> 00:03:37,549
you know...
114
00:03:37,585 --> 00:03:38,984
we'll see.
115
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:41,420
Wouldn't it be nice
to bring a date
116
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:42,988
to the tree lighting
ceremony?
117
00:03:43,023 --> 00:03:45,324
I just want there
to be a tree lighting ceremony.
118
00:03:45,359 --> 00:03:47,659
Everything is on schedule.
What could possibly go wrong?
119
00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,661

Holly!
120
00:03:53,534 --> 00:03:55,133
Um...
121
00:03:56,971 --> 00:03:57,903
Did you see this?
122
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:58,937
Oh...
123
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:00,572
Uh...
124
00:04:00,608 --> 00:04:02,975
[gasps]
What happened?
125
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:05,477
It looks
like the crane swiped it,
126
00:04:05,512 --> 00:04:06,845
breaking off the branches...
127
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,181
Rendering it unusable.
It's ruined.
128
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:11,450
No, it's not
ruined. It's...
129
00:04:13,354 --> 00:04:15,487
Okay, it's ruined.
Um...
130
00:04:15,522 --> 00:04:16,922
but it's going
to be fine.
131
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,156
We can fix this.
132
00:04:18,192 --> 00:04:19,258
How?
133
00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:20,259
I...
134
00:04:22,296 --> 00:04:23,929
I'm going to find
another tree.
135
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:25,364
Find another...?
136
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,966
You just spent all year
finding this tree.
137
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:29,668
How are you going
to find another tree
138
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:31,670
and get it here
and get it decorated
139
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:32,804
in time for the
tree-lighting ceremony
140
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:35,207
in 10 days?
141
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:36,875
Thank you, Andrea.
142
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:38,644
That's very helpful.
143
00:04:40,581 --> 00:04:42,614
[whispering to self]
Okay, focus, Holly.
144
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:44,483
You are Miss Christmas.
145
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:45,817
[normal voice]
I am Miss Christmas.
146
00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:47,352
This is what I do,
147
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:49,921
and I am going
to figure this out.
148
00:04:52,026 --> 00:04:53,425
Apparently, yes. Yeah.
149
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:17,749
You know, maybe
this is a good thing.
150
00:05:17,785 --> 00:05:22,087
Yeah, that tree was beautiful,
but it never felt right.
151
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:25,924
It never felt like "the" tree.
152
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:27,526
Maybe this happened
for a reason.
153
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:30,862
Are you actually finding
the silver lining?
154
00:05:30,898 --> 00:05:32,597
My dad always said,
155
00:05:32,633 --> 00:05:34,733
"When things go wrong,
don't go with them."
156
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:36,702
I know the perfect
tree is out there,
157
00:05:36,737 --> 00:05:38,170
and I'm going to find it.
158
00:05:38,205 --> 00:05:39,371
Clear my schedule.
159
00:05:39,406 --> 00:05:40,539
But what about
the speed dating?
160
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:43,075
Maybe you can find
your perfect man.
161
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:44,676
The only thing that's harder
162
00:05:44,712 --> 00:05:45,911
than finding
the perfect Christmas tree
163
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:48,714
is finding the perfect man,
164
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:51,016
but at least the perfect tree
really does exist.
165
00:05:56,657 --> 00:05:58,056

We have spent hours
166
00:05:58,092 --> 00:05:59,091
looking for a new tree!
167
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:01,026
[Holly]:
How about these?
168
00:06:02,496 --> 00:06:03,562
You've looked through those
already.
169
00:06:03,597 --> 00:06:05,464
What haven't I looked through?
170
00:06:05,499 --> 00:06:06,765
You've looked
through everything.
171
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,602
There has to be something.
172
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:13,939
[gasps]
173
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:15,273
What about
the tree submissions
174
00:06:15,309 --> 00:06:16,641
we got in the mail?
175
00:06:16,677 --> 00:06:17,843
They've been coming
in all year.
176
00:06:22,616 --> 00:06:24,149
Oh.
177
00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:25,951
Yeah. Guess I'm not going
speed dating tonight.
178
00:06:25,986 --> 00:06:28,153
No, no, no. You go.
I got this.
179
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:29,421
Are you sure?
180
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:31,156
Yeah. Definitely, yes.
181
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,558
Definitely, yeah.
182
00:06:33,594 --> 00:06:35,694
Well, it is
the season of miracles.

00:14:51,358 --> 00:14:53,057
but today, I'm here
because I'm hoping
368
00:14:53,093 --> 00:14:54,325
you could help me
look for somebody.
369
00:14:54,361 --> 00:14:55,260
Sure.
370
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:56,261
I'm the Creative Director
371
00:14:56,296 --> 00:14:58,329
at the Radcliffe Center,
372
00:14:58,365 --> 00:14:59,297
and it's my job
to find the tree
373
00:14:59,332 --> 00:15:00,398
that goes in the plaza.
374
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:02,267
So cool!
375
00:15:02,302 --> 00:15:03,835
We watch that on TV.
376
00:15:03,870 --> 00:15:05,837
I am so looking forward
to this year's tree.
377
00:15:05,872 --> 00:15:08,773
Well, that's actually
why I'm here.
378
00:15:08,808 --> 00:15:11,309
We were looking
for a new tree,
379
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:14,279
and then I got
this letter.
380
00:15:16,316 --> 00:15:18,316
I know
this is a long shot,
381
00:15:18,351 --> 00:15:20,285
but do you happen
to know Joey McNary?
382
00:15:22,022 --> 00:15:23,855
Not such a long shot.
383
00:15:23,890 --> 00:15:24,989
I'm his aunt.
384
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:25,924
Come on!
385
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:27,191
I'm Aimee McNary.
386
00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:28,159
Are you serious?
387
00:15:28,194 --> 00:15:30,094
Wow.
388
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:30,962
It's a small world.
389
00:15:30,997 --> 00:15:32,630
Oh...
390
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,198
I could introduce you
to his dad, my brother Sam.
391
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:36,000
Yeah!
392
00:15:36,036 --> 00:15:37,168
How about
I take you to our family farm?
393
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:38,503
Okay!
394
00:15:53,219 --> 00:15:54,519
Oh, I love
your farm!
395
00:15:54,554 --> 00:15:57,488
It reminds me
of where I grew up.
396
00:15:57,524 --> 00:16:00,191
So many gorgeous trees.
397
00:16:00,226 --> 00:16:01,526
You have such a fun job.
398
00:16:01,561 --> 00:16:03,695
Well, it's harder
than it looks
399
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:04,996
to find
the perfect Christmas tree.
400
00:16:05,031 --> 00:16:06,631
Why?
401
00:16:06,666 --> 00:16:08,466
Well, in addition
to being the perfect height
402
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,568
and shape and color,
403
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:13,304
the tree has to have
that X factor,
404
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:15,239
that star quality.
405
00:16:15,275 --> 00:16:17,475
What's so special
about our tree?
406
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:20,545
It just feels
meant to be.
407
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:22,146
I mean,
I get Joey's letter,
408
00:16:22,182 --> 00:16:23,481
and then I bump into you.
409
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:24,816
That's not the hard part.
410
00:16:24,851 --> 00:16:26,651
Convincing Sam to
give you the tree is.
411
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,520
Well, maybe when I explain
how important the tree is,
412
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:30,421
the holiday spirit...
413
00:16:30,457 --> 00:16:31,889
Mmm...
414
00:16:31,925 --> 00:16:34,325
Sam isn't exactly
the holiday spirit type.
415
00:16:34,361 --> 00:16:35,560
If he had it
his way,
416
00:16:35,595 --> 00:16:36,494
he'd go straight
from Thanksgiving
417
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:37,695
to Groundhog Day.
418
00:16:37,731 --> 00:16:38,563
Oh.
419
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:39,530
Mm-hm.
420
00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:45,169
[Holly]:
What's he doing here?
421
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:46,704
You know him?
422
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:49,040
I...
423
00:16:50,910 --> 00:16:52,577
I bumped into him in town.
424
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:55,613
That's my brother Sam.
That's Joey's dad.
425
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:57,015
Great.
426
00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:58,583
[Aimee]: Come on.
427
00:17:03,056 --> 00:17:05,590
The Christmas tree farmer
who lives in Chicago.
428
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:08,626
What's, uh,
what's going on?
429
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,228
You bringing holiday cheer
door to door now?
430
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:11,429
Something like that.
431
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:12,864
[chuckling]
Okay.
432
00:17:12,899 --> 00:17:13,931
[Aimee]:
Holly, Sam.
433
00:17:13,967 --> 00:17:15,533
-Sam, Holly.
-Hi.
434
00:17:15,568 --> 00:17:17,035
Hello again.
435
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:19,070
Um...
436
00:17:19,105 --> 00:17:21,205
I'm here because I work
for the Radcliffe Center.
437
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:22,607
It's my job
to find the tree
438
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:23,941
that goes in the Center,
439
00:17:23,977 --> 00:17:26,477
and this year,
we want your tree
440
00:17:26,513 --> 00:17:27,445
to be the tree.
441
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,713
You lost me.
442
00:17:43,129 --> 00:17:44,629
I didn't know
that he did this, uh...
443
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:47,832
[laughs awkwardly]
444
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:49,667
Um...
445
00:17:49,702 --> 00:17:51,235
I'm sorry.
You can't have this tree.
446
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:56,507
Uh... this has never happened to
me before.
447
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:57,842
Um...
okay, well,
448
00:17:57,877 --> 00:17:59,610
maybe you could just
think about it.
449
00:17:59,646 --> 00:18:01,946
I mean, I know you personally
aren't a fan of Christmas,
450
00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:04,348
but so many people are,
and to them,
451
00:18:04,384 --> 00:18:06,784
this tree is a beautiful symbol
of the season.
452
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:08,252
It's just not
for sale.
453
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:09,921
Oh, I'm not asking to buy it.
454
00:18:09,956 --> 00:18:11,322
It's donation based,
455
00:18:11,357 --> 00:18:12,590
and most people
are happy to do it.
456
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:13,791
Listen, Holly...
457
00:18:13,827 --> 00:18:15,159
Look, I feel really bad
458
00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:16,360
that you came all this way
from Chicago,
459
00:18:16,396 --> 00:18:18,162
but...
460
00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:19,430
I wish there was something
I could do to help.
461
00:18:19,466 --> 00:18:21,132
I'm so sorry.
462
00:18:23,036 --> 00:18:24,936
It's okay.
463
00:18:24,971 --> 00:18:26,370
I understand.
464
00:18:26,406 --> 00:18:28,806
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]
465
00:18:28,842 --> 00:18:30,141
Hang on.
Excuse me.
466
00:18:31,711 --> 00:18:32,710
Hello?
467
00:18:32,745 --> 00:18:34,345
So, did you find Joey?
468
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:35,680
[Holly]:
Yeah, I found him.
469
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:36,614
So you have the tree?
470
00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:38,349
No.
471
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:39,450
The owner
doesn't want to donate it.
472
00:18:39,486 --> 00:18:40,485
What?
473
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,652
Did you tell him
474
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:42,820
that all of Chicago
475
00:18:42,856 --> 00:18:44,021
is expecting
476
00:18:44,057 --> 00:18:44,889
a Christmas tree lighting
ceremony?
477
00:18:44,924 --> 00:18:45,990
Get this...
478
00:18:46,025 --> 00:18:47,391
he doesn't care
479
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:48,659
about
the tree lighting ceremony.
480
00:18:48,695 --> 00:18:49,727
Excuse me?
481
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:51,129
Right?
482
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:52,864
He doesn't even care
about Christmas.
483
00:18:52,899 --> 00:18:54,499
Who is this Grinch?
484
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:57,268
His name's Sam,
and he's...
485
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:02,173
[sighs]
486
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:03,407
a total Grinch.
487
00:19:03,443 --> 00:19:05,009
Well, listen,
488
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:06,677
the Holly I know
does not take no for an answer.
489
00:19:06,713 --> 00:19:07,645
You can do this.
490
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,480
You really think so?
491
00:19:09,516 --> 00:19:11,182
Well, you have to.
Andrea is not happy,
492
00:19:11,217 --> 00:19:12,183
and the ceremony
is in nine days,
493
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:13,484
and we do not have
a backup.
494
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,820
Why does everybody
keep telling me that?
495
00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:17,822
Okay...
496
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:19,490
[whispering]
What am I going to do? Focus.
497
00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:25,229
Okay, Christmas is about
opening our hearts, right?
498
00:19:25,265 --> 00:19:29,433
So I just have to...
open his heart to the idea.
499
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:31,602
There you go!
That's the Holly I know!
500
00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:32,603
Yeah.
501
00:19:32,639 --> 00:19:34,505
Okay.
502
00:19:34,541 --> 00:19:36,040
I'll call you
when I have the tree.
503
00:19:52,091 --> 00:19:53,090
Sam.
504
00:19:53,126 --> 00:19:54,859
Yeah?
505
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:56,894
I apologize.
I got ahead of myself,
506
00:19:56,930 --> 00:19:59,197
and I'm not even sure
that this is the tree,
507
00:19:59,232 --> 00:20:01,065
but I came
all this way,
508
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:02,833
and I'd just like to see it.
509
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:04,669
There's no harm in
showing it to her.
510
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:05,803
Uh-- Uh--
511
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,573
You're going
to muck up your boots.
512
00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:09,507
I mean, it's way back there.
513
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:11,242
Oh.
514
00:20:11,277 --> 00:20:13,244
First rule
of growing up on a farm...
515
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:14,345
always have sensible shoes.
516
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:23,420
Wow!
517
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:26,057
Oh, wow!
It's beautiful!
518
00:20:28,595 --> 00:20:30,228
Oh, it's gorgeous!
519
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:33,431
It's the perfect height.
520
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:35,800
The perfect height
for what?
521
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:38,135
It's tall enough to stand
against the skyscrapers,
522
00:20:38,171 --> 00:20:40,304
but short enough to be trucked
through the city.
523
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:41,339
Wow.
524
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:47,612
It's absolutely perfect.
525
00:20:47,647 --> 00:20:48,613
I know.
526
00:20:48,648 --> 00:20:50,214
You know,
527
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:51,315
I've been around trees
my whole life,
528
00:20:51,351 --> 00:20:54,585
and I haven't seen many
like this.
529
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:56,854
It's... truly special.
530
00:20:58,424 --> 00:20:59,624
It's right.
531
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:01,092
Yup.
Right here.
532
00:21:03,096 --> 00:21:04,395
Sam, if you were to say yes,
533
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:06,264
your whole family
would get to go to Chicago
534
00:21:06,299 --> 00:21:08,099
on an all-expenses paid trip,
535
00:21:08,134 --> 00:21:10,134
and you guys
would be front and center
536
00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:11,836
as V.I.P.s
at the tree lighting ceremony.
537
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,137
[laughs]
538
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:15,473
I don't care
about being a V.I.P...
539
00:21:17,210 --> 00:21:19,910
but here's something
I do care about.
540
00:21:24,384 --> 00:21:27,785
39 years ago,
541
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:31,455
my mom Leslie
and my dad George
542
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:33,791
bought this land
and carved that there.
543
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:37,928
All they had was a
mortgage and a dream,
544
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:41,332
but this tree represented
545
00:21:41,367 --> 00:21:43,267
everything
that they would watch grow.
546
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:44,802
That's beautiful.
547
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:49,273
Don't you want to share
that story with the world?
548
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:53,110
Put their love on display
for everyone to admire?
549
00:21:53,146 --> 00:21:54,545
No.
550
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:55,479
I want to keep it
with my family,
551
00:21:55,515 --> 00:21:56,480
where it belongs.
552
00:21:56,516 --> 00:21:57,615
And what about Joey?
553
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,016
It would mean so much to him.
554
00:21:59,052 --> 00:22:01,319
Well, it would now,
because he's eight,
555
00:22:01,354 --> 00:22:03,821
but trust me, 20 years from now,
when this tree's still standing,
556
00:22:03,856 --> 00:22:05,189
it'll mean a lot more to him
557
00:22:05,224 --> 00:22:07,758
than him seeing it
with some skyscrapers.
558
00:22:08,895 --> 00:22:10,294
Hm.
559
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:11,362
Listen, Holly,
I admire your tenacity,
560
00:22:11,397 --> 00:22:12,530
but...
561
00:22:12,565 --> 00:22:14,799
I mean,
the answer is just no.
562
00:22:23,876 --> 00:22:25,309
Oh, there's...
there's Aimee there.
563
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:26,344
Okay.
564
00:22:26,379 --> 00:22:28,179
I have to...
565
00:22:28,214 --> 00:22:29,280
Sorry again.
566
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,020
I really didn't want you
to be disappointed.
567
00:22:36,055 --> 00:22:37,355
No, I understand.
568
00:22:37,390 --> 00:22:39,824
It's your parents' tree.
569
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:41,726
I just think that donating it
570
00:22:41,761 --> 00:22:44,328
could be special
for your family.
571
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:46,864
I mean,
there's something so moving
572
00:22:46,899 --> 00:22:48,733
about bringing joy
to so many people.
573
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:52,970
What's wrong?
574
00:22:54,374 --> 00:22:56,607
I thought Sam had told you.
575
00:22:56,642 --> 00:22:58,342
Told me what?
576
00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:01,946
Our mom passed away
last year.
577
00:23:01,981 --> 00:23:03,180
Oh...
578
00:23:05,051 --> 00:23:07,184
I'm really sorry to hear that.
579
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:09,687
That's why Sam doesn't want
to give away this tree.
580
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:21,599
Okay.
I got it.
581
00:23:21,634 --> 00:23:23,834
I, uh, I'm going
to be on my way.
582
00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:29,140
Hey, Dad,
dinner's almost ready!
583
00:23:29,175 --> 00:23:31,375
All right, Joey,
I'll be right in.
584
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:38,215
Miss Christmas!
585
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:42,620
I saw you on TV,
586
00:23:42,655 --> 00:23:43,487
and I wrote to you,
and you came!
587
00:23:43,523 --> 00:23:45,556
You came for our tree!
588
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:46,757
I have to tell Grandpa!
589
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:49,326
He didn't think she'd come!
590
00:23:49,362 --> 00:23:51,462
Wait,
Grandpa knew about the letter?
591
00:23:56,536 --> 00:23:57,501
Come meet Grandpa!
592
00:23:57,537 --> 00:23:58,602
Okay.
593
00:23:59,639 --> 00:24:00,638
[Aimee]: Hey, Dad.
594
00:24:00,673 --> 00:24:02,673
[Joey]: Hi, Grandpa!
595
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:05,810
[Aimee]: Whoa,
cooking up a storm in here.
596
00:24:08,181 --> 00:24:10,981
[Joey]: Smells good.
597
00:24:14,887 --> 00:24:16,287
Come on.
598
00:24:16,322 --> 00:24:18,322
[Aimee]: Let's eat!
599
00:24:18,357 --> 00:24:21,459
Grandpa, look who it is!
Miss Christmas came!
600
00:24:21,494 --> 00:24:22,359
[Holly]: Hi.
Nice to meet you.
601
00:24:22,395 --> 00:24:23,627
[George]:
Welcome!
602
00:24:23,663 --> 00:24:24,628
It's an enigma!
603
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:25,996
[all chuckling]
604
00:24:26,032 --> 00:24:27,665
Grandpa just taught me
the word enigma.
605
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:28,799
[George]:
Well, I'm not sure
606
00:24:28,835 --> 00:24:30,134
it's an enigma exactly,
607
00:24:30,169 --> 00:24:32,870
but it sure is exciting!
608
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:34,138
And you're right on time
for dinner.
609
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:36,140
Can you stay?
610
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:37,374
[Aimee]:
What do you think?
611
00:24:37,410 --> 00:24:39,143
I should get going.
612
00:24:39,178 --> 00:24:42,213
No, it's dinner time,
and you've come all this way.
613
00:24:42,248 --> 00:24:43,681
Let us feed you.
614
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:45,282
I made
grilled cheese sandwiches.
615
00:24:45,318 --> 00:24:46,784
Kind of.
616
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,018
Thanks, pal.
617
00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:50,554
[Joey]: We made
pumpkin pie as well.
618
00:24:50,590 --> 00:24:51,755
Please stay.
619
00:24:52,859 --> 00:24:53,791
Yeah, stay.
620
00:24:57,396 --> 00:24:58,462
Okay.
621
00:24:58,498 --> 00:24:59,830
-All right!
-[Joey]: Yes!
622
00:24:59,866 --> 00:25:02,266
[George laughs]
Okay!
623
00:25:05,171 --> 00:25:06,837
Looks so good...
624
00:25:08,608 --> 00:25:09,640
Try the milk!
625
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:11,208
It's from our cows!
626
00:25:11,244 --> 00:25:12,543
It's udderly delicious.
627
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:14,044
[they laugh, groan]
628
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,714
Oh, come on,
stop being so moo-dy.
629
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:17,882
Seriously?
630
00:25:17,917 --> 00:25:19,316
Well, I find it a-moo-sing.
631
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:21,051
[they laugh]
632
00:25:22,555 --> 00:25:23,854
So, Miss Christmas...
633
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:25,389
Oh, it's actually Holly.
634
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:27,825
[Joey]: Wait, Miss Christmas
isn't your real name?
635
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,260
Why do they
call you that?
636
00:25:29,295 --> 00:25:31,228
Well, it's a nickname
my dad gave me.
637
00:25:31,264 --> 00:25:32,863
I grew up
on a Christmas tree farm,
638
00:25:32,899 --> 00:25:35,065
and I was always
Christmas crazy,
639
00:25:35,101 --> 00:25:37,368
and I said "Miss Christmas" once
on air,
640
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:40,337
and it just stuck,
641
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:41,672
but my real name's Holly.
642
00:25:41,707 --> 00:25:44,208
So, Holly,
643
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,943
you've come
for Leslie's tree.
644
00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:47,378
Oh, no, yeah...
645
00:25:47,413 --> 00:25:48,546
I already told her no.
646
00:25:48,581 --> 00:25:49,547
What?
Dad!
647
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:51,248
You can't say no!
648
00:25:51,284 --> 00:25:53,183
Grandma loved
the tree lighting!
649
00:25:53,219 --> 00:25:54,552
Yeah, it's true.
She did.
650
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:56,220
Before the kids,
651
00:25:56,255 --> 00:25:57,621
Leslie and I used to go
to Chicago every year
652
00:25:57,657 --> 00:25:59,456
to see the tree.
653
00:25:59,492 --> 00:26:01,559
Yeah, and Grandma and me
watched it every year on TV.
654
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:03,193
[Sam]: No, listen, Joey...
655
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,062
I never heard Grandma say
656
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:07,298
that she wanted to give away
her tree,
657
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:09,533
and if she wanted
to donate it,
658
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:11,435
well, then,
why didn't she?
659
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:14,138
I know you really
want to see the tree on TV,
660
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:16,907
but...
what about after Christmas?
661
00:26:16,943 --> 00:26:17,875
What then?
662
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:19,376
Um...
663
00:26:19,412 --> 00:26:21,612
it'll actually be milled
into two-by-fours
664
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:23,747
to provide lumber
to build houses
665
00:26:23,783 --> 00:26:25,749
for veterans
returning from overseas.
666
00:26:25,785 --> 00:26:27,484
So even after
the holidays,
667
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,387
Leslie's tree will continue
to bring joy to people.
668
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:31,422
[Sam]:
I meant...
669
00:26:31,457 --> 00:26:32,790
"then what" for us?
670
00:26:32,825 --> 00:26:34,291
Oh.
671
00:26:34,327 --> 00:26:35,326
[Sam]: Because then
we no longer have a tree.
672
00:26:35,361 --> 00:26:36,327
Right.
673
00:26:36,362 --> 00:26:38,462
Sam...
674
00:26:38,497 --> 00:26:39,597
I know you don't want
to give the tree away...
675
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:41,098
Of course not.
676
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:42,566
But it's not just yours
to give.
677
00:26:45,705 --> 00:26:47,638
Uh...
678
00:26:47,673 --> 00:26:49,106
I don't want
to cause any problems, so...
679
00:26:49,141 --> 00:26:50,174
It's no problems.
680
00:26:50,209 --> 00:26:51,976
The tree belongs to the family.
681
00:26:52,011 --> 00:26:53,143
It's a family decision.
682
00:26:55,147 --> 00:26:56,614
So, I tell you
what, Holly...
683
00:26:56,649 --> 00:26:58,115
why don't you
make your case,
684
00:26:58,150 --> 00:26:59,850
and then we'll discuss?
685
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:02,486
Okay.
686
00:27:04,223 --> 00:27:06,357
Right now?
687
00:27:06,392 --> 00:27:07,491
No, we never discuss business
at the table.
688
00:27:07,526 --> 00:27:08,826
Great.
689
00:27:08,861 --> 00:27:10,127
We'll meet tomorrow,
after milking.
690
00:27:10,162 --> 00:27:11,428
Yes!
691
00:27:11,464 --> 00:27:13,430
Okay.
692
00:27:13,466 --> 00:27:15,866
I've got to head out
to the barn for a minute.
693
00:27:15,901 --> 00:27:16,967
Excuse me.
694
00:27:27,013 --> 00:27:29,513
[Holly]: I don't know, George.
Maybe Sam's right.
695
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:31,682
Maybe the tree should stay.
696
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:33,550
Maybe...
697
00:27:33,586 --> 00:27:35,319
but I also have some
mighty fond memories
698
00:27:35,354 --> 00:27:38,555
of Leslie at
the Radcliffe tree.
699
00:27:38,591 --> 00:27:40,991
The sound of her
off-key caroling,
700
00:27:41,027 --> 00:27:43,160
and the way her face
would brighten,
701
00:27:43,195 --> 00:27:45,396
seeing it light up...
702
00:27:45,431 --> 00:27:47,031
I think she would have
wanted to donate it.
703
00:27:47,066 --> 00:27:48,465
But Sam doesn't agree,
704
00:27:48,501 --> 00:27:50,834
and I just don't want
to upset anybody.
705
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:52,136
Don't you worry
about my Sam.
706
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:54,038
He's an enigma.
707
00:27:54,073 --> 00:27:56,006
He is definitely an enigma.
708
00:27:56,042 --> 00:27:57,107
[chuckles]
709
00:28:31,077 --> 00:28:32,676
[phone rings
with "Jingle Bells" ringtone]
710
00:28:35,147 --> 00:28:36,513
Hello?
711
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:38,215
Holly,
that tree is perfect!
712
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:39,283
[Holly]: Yeah...
713
00:28:39,318 --> 00:28:40,551
except that I don't have it,
714
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:41,719
and the McNarys
might not give it to me.
715
00:28:41,754 --> 00:28:43,554
This tree is flawless,
716
00:28:43,589 --> 00:28:44,621
and if anyone
can convince them
717
00:28:44,657 --> 00:28:45,989
to donate it, it's you.
718
00:28:46,025 --> 00:28:48,358
Mm, maybe,
719
00:28:48,394 --> 00:28:51,228
but just in case,
we need to find a backup.
720
00:28:51,263 --> 00:28:52,963
Oh, Andrea,
I've got to go.
721
00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:54,798
Oh, okay, Holly, I...

00:28:56,235 --> 00:28:58,802

Listen, I... think
I've had enough holiday cheer

for a little while.

Yeah, I know,
734
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:32,603

to apologize
735
00:29:32,638 --> 00:29:34,404
for overstepping
any boundaries.
736

Listen, Sam, I'm going
to respect your wishes,

that I understand
that your mom's tree

isn't just a tree, okay,

My mom also passed away.

It happened
when I was just a baby,
746
00:29:56,095 --> 00:29:57,795
and my dad raised me
747
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:59,630
until he got sick
when I was in college.
748
00:29:59,665 --> 00:30:02,132
He was my very best friend,
749
00:30:02,168 --> 00:30:03,567
and if you can believe it,
750
00:30:03,602 --> 00:30:04,668
he actually loved Christmas
as much as I do.

00:30:05,971 --> 00:30:07,571
Yeah, right?
753
00:30:07,606 --> 00:30:08,639
He was...
754
00:30:10,376 --> 00:30:11,408
Mr. Christmas?
755
00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:12,776
Yeah.
756
00:30:12,812 --> 00:30:15,612
Actually,
that's exactly what he was.
757
00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:19,917
You know, and every year,
with the Radcliffe tree,
758
00:30:19,952 --> 00:30:22,186
I get to celebrate my dad
759
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:26,323
and his love for Christmas
and beauty and magic.
760
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:30,694
I get to feel like
he's here with me again.

Look, if I'm being
honest with you,
762
00:30:38,304 --> 00:30:40,003
I just don't think
there's anything you can say
763
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:41,171
that's going to make me
change my mind.
764
00:30:41,207 --> 00:30:43,507
Yeah, doesn't mean
I'll stop talking.

he is perfect!

Ah, you know,
he's not really a Grinch.
781
00:31:21,914 --> 00:31:23,146
He just hates Christmas.
782
00:31:23,182 --> 00:31:24,882
Maybe more of a Scrooge.
783
00:31:24,917 --> 00:31:27,017
No, he's not really a Scrooge,
either.
784
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:28,652
He's just...
785
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:29,853

No!
That's crazy.

Relax.
Don't worry about it.

00:31:51,043 --> 00:31:52,042
You're going to get the tree.
799
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:53,110

to relax right now.

Okay, thank you all
for coming to my presentation.

And thank you
for the cookies!

[chuckles]
807
00:32:07,660 --> 00:32:08,625
So I know
you watch the Radcliffe ceremony
808
00:32:08,661 --> 00:32:10,027
on TV every year,
809
00:32:10,062 --> 00:32:12,062
but many people
don't know its history,
810
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:14,765
so I wanted
to share it with you.
811
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,133
And you did all this
for us?
812
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:17,701
Mm...
813
00:32:17,736 --> 00:32:19,937
I might have had some of it
prepared already.
814
00:32:19,972 --> 00:32:20,737
Okay...
815
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:25,909
[Holly, recorded audio]:
In 1930,
816
00:32:25,945 --> 00:32:27,611
during the Great Depression,
817
00:32:27,646 --> 00:32:29,212
the first
Radcliffe Christmas tree
818
00:32:29,248 --> 00:32:30,714
was placed in the plaza
819
00:32:30,749 --> 00:32:33,116
for everyone
who couldn't afford a tree.
820
00:32:33,152 --> 00:32:34,718
Decorated
with gum wrapper garlands
821
00:32:34,753 --> 00:32:36,219
and tin cans,
822
00:32:36,255 --> 00:32:39,256
it became a centerpiece
of the community.
823
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:43,627
Neighbors gathered around it,
caroled, and shared food.
824
00:32:43,662 --> 00:32:46,263
Since then, every year,
825
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:48,065
the Radcliffe Center
has had a tree,
826
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:49,633
and although the trees
827
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:51,501
get more elaborate
and spectacular
828
00:32:51,537 --> 00:32:53,136
every year,
829
00:32:53,172 --> 00:32:56,239
we never forget
what it started as...
830
00:32:56,275 --> 00:32:57,908
a symbol of community...
831
00:32:57,943 --> 00:33:02,079
a place for people
to come together...
832
00:33:02,114 --> 00:33:04,982
a gathering spot for families,
friends, and neighbors
833
00:33:05,017 --> 00:33:07,417
to be cheered, supported,
834
00:33:07,453 --> 00:33:08,785
and marvel
835
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:09,653
not just
in the beauty of the season,
836
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:11,421
but in each other...
837
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:18,595
which is what Leslie's tree
could be to so many people.
838
00:33:28,741 --> 00:33:30,640
I vote yes!
839
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:36,380
Holly,
this is wonderful...
840
00:33:36,415 --> 00:33:37,547
but I think we need
some more time
841
00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:38,615
to mull it over.
842
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:41,551
Could we have
more time?
843
00:33:41,587 --> 00:33:43,320
I wish I could give you
all the time in the world.
844
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:46,223
I know this is a huge decision
for all of you,
845
00:33:46,258 --> 00:33:49,493
but the tree lighting
is literally around the corner,
846
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:50,827
and it takes time
847
00:33:50,863 --> 00:33:52,562
to transport and decorate,
848
00:33:52,598 --> 00:33:55,532
and in the end, if you say no...
849
00:33:55,567 --> 00:33:56,900
Could you
at least give us
850
00:33:56,935 --> 00:33:58,702
till tomorrow?
851
00:33:58,737 --> 00:34:00,670
And that way,
that'll give us some time
852
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:02,339
to ask any questions
we might have.
853
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:04,374
What do you think?
854
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:06,376
Could you stay
a little longer?

00:34:12,384 --> 00:34:13,850

All over the midwest,
anyway.

That's where Santa will be...
868
00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:43,080
and that's where
the food is.
869
00:34:43,115 --> 00:34:45,382
Everyone brings something.

There's Owen.

00:34:56,295 --> 00:34:57,260
Okay.
878
00:35:06,905 --> 00:35:08,972
I like Klaus.

this seriously.
881
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:14,077
It's good for us.
882
00:35:14,113 --> 00:35:15,045
It's good for
the businesses,
883
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,580
good for town morale.
884
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,281
Good for everyone
but you.
885
00:35:18,317 --> 00:35:20,317
Why do you dislike Christmas
so much?

00:35:25,924 --> 00:35:27,257

892
00:35:27,292 --> 00:35:28,558
Did they say yes?
Do you have the tree?
893
00:35:28,594 --> 00:35:30,393
Uh, no, not yet.
894
00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:32,062
They responded really well,
895
00:35:32,097 --> 00:35:34,331
but they just need another day
to decide.
896
00:35:34,366 --> 00:35:35,799
Another day?
897
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:37,934
Holly,
the ceremony is in eight days,
898
00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:39,803
We need at least four days
to decorate,
899
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:41,671
and that leaves us
exactly three days
900
00:35:41,707 --> 00:35:44,307
to have a tree located,
cut, and transported here.
901
00:35:44,343 --> 00:35:45,242
What am I supposed
to tell corporate?

903

Yes.
904
00:35:48,046 --> 00:35:49,513
Corporate has gotten involved,
and they are not happy...
905
00:35:49,548 --> 00:35:52,582
and I'm sorry, Holly, but...
906
00:35:52,618 --> 00:35:55,652
they said if you don't have
a "Radcliffe-worthy tree"
907
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:57,354
here in Chicago
in three days,
908
00:35:57,389 --> 00:35:58,688
then...
909
00:35:58,724 --> 00:36:00,757
don't bother
coming back at all.
910
00:36:22,047 --> 00:36:24,581
Hey.
911
00:36:24,616 --> 00:36:26,349
Good morning.
912
00:36:26,385 --> 00:36:27,517
What are you doing up
this early?
913
00:36:27,553 --> 00:36:28,885
Oh, I'm always
up early.
914
00:36:28,921 --> 00:36:31,154
Just the farmer
in me.
915
00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:32,656
What are you
doing here?
916
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,592
We do
McNary family breakfast
917
00:36:35,627 --> 00:36:37,561
on Sundays, so...
918
00:36:37,596 --> 00:36:39,196
I'm always early,
I'm always waiting,
919
00:36:39,231 --> 00:36:41,998
so I grab coffee
and head outside.
920
00:36:42,034 --> 00:36:43,867
Care to join?
921
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:45,235
You had me
at coffee.
922
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:46,570
[chuckles]
923
00:36:54,646 --> 00:36:56,546
Usually from
the minute I wake up,
924
00:36:56,582 --> 00:36:57,914
it's just go, go, go.
925
00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:59,216
It's so nice
926
00:36:59,251 --> 00:37:01,718
to have some time
to just breathe.
927
00:37:01,753 --> 00:37:04,955
It's so beautiful
here, so peaceful.
928
00:37:04,990 --> 00:37:06,089
It reminds me of home.
929
00:37:06,124 --> 00:37:07,591
Of Chicago?
930
00:37:07,626 --> 00:37:09,292
Oh, no, no, no,
Chicago's where I live,
931
00:37:09,328 --> 00:37:12,629
but my family's farm...
that was home.
932
00:37:12,664 --> 00:37:14,197
I guess I always figured
I'd end up back there.
933
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:16,700
So why didn't you?
934
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:18,101
Well, the plan
935
00:37:18,136 --> 00:37:19,569
was that I'd get a
degree in horticulture
936
00:37:19,605 --> 00:37:22,305
and then return home.
937
00:37:22,341 --> 00:37:26,543
My parents had this dream
of expanding the farm,
938
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:27,611
and as I got older,
939
00:37:27,646 --> 00:37:28,812
it became a dream
of my own,
940
00:37:28,847 --> 00:37:31,748
something I wanted
to do for myself,
941
00:37:31,783 --> 00:37:33,049
and for my mom,
942
00:37:33,085 --> 00:37:35,118
for her legacy,
943
00:37:35,153 --> 00:37:38,221
especially at
Christmas time...
944
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:40,724
but when my dad
passed away,
945
00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:44,227
I had to decide between
school and the farm.
946
00:37:44,263 --> 00:37:45,895
I was 19
at the time,
947
00:37:45,931 --> 00:37:47,931
and the thought of
running a business alone
948
00:37:47,966 --> 00:37:49,799
just was
terrifying, right?
949
00:37:49,835 --> 00:37:51,935
So I sold the land,
950
00:37:51,970 --> 00:37:54,604
and I got a job
at Radcliffe,
951
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,572
and I moved
to Chicago...
952
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:57,073
And became a city girl.
953
00:37:57,109 --> 00:37:58,074
[giggles]
954
00:37:58,110 --> 00:37:59,442
Yeah, I guess
955
00:37:59,478 --> 00:38:00,910
I am just a little
bit of a city girl.
956
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:01,811
I do get nervous if I'm
more than a block away
957
00:38:01,847 --> 00:38:04,014
from a cup of coffee.
958
00:38:04,049 --> 00:38:06,950
I guess I've grown
accustomed to city life.
959
00:38:06,985 --> 00:38:08,418
Sounds to me
960
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,320
like you just want to find
a place called home.
961
00:38:14,192 --> 00:38:17,260
You got anything tying you
to Chicago? Boyfriend?
962
00:38:18,563 --> 00:38:20,997
Uh... no.
963
00:38:21,033 --> 00:38:23,667
No, unfortunately,
when you work as much as I do,
964
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:24,601
it's kind of hard to date.
965
00:38:27,139 --> 00:38:28,805
What about you?
966
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,508
[snickers]
No, no, no, no.
967
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:34,444

I just...
968
00:38:34,479 --> 00:38:36,212
and you know what?
969
00:38:36,248 --> 00:38:37,814
This time for Joey and I
just to be by ourselves,
970
00:38:37,849 --> 00:38:38,782
it's been great.
971
00:38:38,817 --> 00:38:41,117
Yeah.
972
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:42,452
But I think
we're both ready.
973
00:38:45,524 --> 00:38:46,990
She would just...
974
00:38:48,894 --> 00:38:50,927
She would have to be
really special.

outside of Elkhart Lake

[Erin]: I thought
1018
00:40:13,845 --> 00:40:15,478
that that tree
was 10 feet too short.

Well, I was...
1046
00:41:10,335 --> 00:41:13,636
just thinking about how happy
the Radcliffe tree made Leslie,
1047
00:41:13,672 --> 00:41:17,440
and how she made
everyone around her happy,
1048
00:41:17,476 --> 00:41:19,876
especially at Christmas,
1049
00:41:19,911 --> 00:41:23,680
and I think
this is one more opportunity
1050
00:41:23,715 --> 00:41:25,348
for Leslie
to bring joy to others,
1051
00:41:25,383 --> 00:41:28,952

she'd want you to take it.

Okay.
1076
00:42:25,644 --> 00:42:27,443
I know you have your heart
set on the angel ornament,
1077
00:42:27,479 --> 00:42:29,045
but sometimes,
1078
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,446
when you're looking
for one thing,

00:42:30,482 --> 00:42:32,348

something else

just as beautiful.
1081
00:42:36,555 --> 00:42:39,088
That was the first ornament
I ever made.
1082
00:42:39,124 --> 00:42:40,189
I gave it to Grandma.
1083
00:42:40,225 --> 00:42:41,391

You know what?
1084
00:42:41,426 --> 00:42:42,625
And I bet
this was her real favorite,
1085
00:42:42,661 --> 00:42:43,693
and I think
it's going to look perfect
1086
00:42:43,728 --> 00:42:44,894
on your family wreath.
1087
00:42:51,303 --> 00:42:53,136

decorate the inn?

It's beautiful.
1097
00:43:27,005 --> 00:43:28,571
It's just like how
Grandma used to do it.

Let's put the bow...
1099

Untangling
all these lights
1100
00:43:43,555 --> 00:43:44,754
brought back traumatic
Christmas memories for me,
1101
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:46,422
just so you know.
1102
00:43:46,458 --> 00:43:48,958
Can you really say you've never
enjoyed the holidays?
1103
00:43:48,994 --> 00:43:50,360
Not even a little?
1104
00:43:50,395 --> 00:43:52,495
I, uh, I haven't always
been a Grinch.
1105
00:43:52,530 --> 00:43:53,763
Aw, you're
not a Grinch.
1106
00:43:53,798 --> 00:43:55,331
You're much more of a Scrooge.

Um... thanks?
1108
00:43:57,736 --> 00:43:58,701
I'll get it.
1109
00:43:58,737 --> 00:43:59,969
Okay.
1110
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,506
This Scrooge
1111
00:44:03,541 --> 00:44:04,874
actually tolerated Christmas
at one point.
1112
00:44:04,909 --> 00:44:05,942
"Tolerate?"
1113
00:44:05,977 --> 00:44:06,876
How spirited of you.
1114
00:44:06,911 --> 00:44:08,444
Hey...
1115
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,180
you get divorced
and your mom passes away?
1116
00:44:11,216 --> 00:44:13,282
Just makes everything...
1117
00:44:13,318 --> 00:44:14,250

Got it?
1119
00:44:18,923 --> 00:44:20,056
Yeah.
1120
00:44:20,091 --> 00:44:20,990
All right,
I think we're done.
1121
00:44:21,026 --> 00:44:22,659
Let's take a look.
1122
00:44:29,334 --> 00:44:31,601

It's perfect!
1123
00:44:33,538 --> 00:44:36,406
Ah.
Nice.
1124
00:44:36,441 --> 00:44:37,807
All right, hey,
we've got to head home,
1125
00:44:37,842 --> 00:44:38,908
so why don't you go
hop in the truck, okay?
1126
00:44:38,943 --> 00:44:40,510
Okay.
1127
00:44:44,683 --> 00:44:45,548
I'm going to start...
1128
00:44:45,583 --> 00:44:47,784
[laughs]
1129
00:44:49,788 --> 00:44:51,821
Sam, being here with you
has been...
1130
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:52,789
amazing...
1131
00:44:54,392 --> 00:44:55,825
but I do need
to figure this out,
1132
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:56,759
and I'm running out of time.
1133
00:44:56,795 --> 00:44:58,027
Look, I'm sorry.
1134
00:44:58,063 --> 00:45:01,431
I've just been
dragging my feet. I...
1135
00:45:01,466 --> 00:45:04,534
I'm sure you just want
to get back on your way, so...
1136

Thank you, Holly.
1140
00:45:24,556 --> 00:45:26,022
Joey is so happy,
1141
00:45:26,057 --> 00:45:29,459
and it's so nice to see
the inn decorated again.
1142

Between you and me,
1144
00:45:33,498 --> 00:45:35,131
I think
even Sam enjoyed himself.
1145
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:36,265
Me too.
1146
00:45:36,301 --> 00:45:37,200

Here, I'll take that.
1147
00:45:37,235 --> 00:45:38,401

Ooh, wait!

Aimee!
1150
00:45:40,772 --> 00:45:43,606
Is this the ornament
Joey was looking for?
1151
00:45:44,843 --> 00:45:46,375
We should tell him
1152
00:45:46,411 --> 00:45:48,377
so he can put it
on the wreath.
1153
00:45:48,413 --> 00:45:50,146
Actually, you know
where I want to put that?
1154
00:45:50,181 --> 00:45:52,248
On my mom's tree...
1155
00:45:52,283 --> 00:45:55,284
at the Radcliffe Plaza.
1156
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,252
Really?
1157
00:45:56,287 --> 00:45:57,653
Mm-hm.
1158
00:45:57,689 --> 00:45:58,955
I keep thinking
1159
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:00,289
of the great memories
from the tree.
1160
00:46:00,325 --> 00:46:03,092
In the winter, we
would collect boughs
1161
00:46:03,128 --> 00:46:04,093
and make wreaths,
1162
00:46:04,129 --> 00:46:05,595
then in the summer,
1163
00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:08,064
we would have picnics
under the tree's shade.
1164
00:46:10,034 --> 00:46:11,567
I'll miss the tree,
1165
00:46:11,603 --> 00:46:14,771
but it'll be so special
to see it in Chicago.
1166
00:46:16,307 --> 00:46:17,440
Now you just have
to convince Sam,
1167
00:46:17,475 --> 00:46:18,841
which, after today,
1168
00:46:18,877 --> 00:46:19,642
I don't think will take
as much convincing
1169
00:46:19,677 --> 00:46:21,244
as I thought.
1170
00:46:21,279 --> 00:46:23,246
It's beginning to look
a little like Christmas.
1171
00:46:31,055 --> 00:46:33,923
[Erin]: So you've got
three out of the four.
1172
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:35,191
That's a majority vote.
1173
00:46:35,226 --> 00:46:37,860
Well...
I want it to be unanimous.
1174
00:46:37,896 --> 00:46:39,762
I don't want Sam to feel like
I stole something from him.
1175
00:46:39,798 --> 00:46:41,864
Well...
1176
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:44,167
fingers crossed
that he says yes tomorrow.
1177
00:46:44,202 --> 00:46:46,002
I mean, he could ask
for one more day.
1178
00:46:46,037 --> 00:46:47,837
It sounds like he just wants
to spend more time with you.
1179
00:46:47,872 --> 00:46:49,772
That is not
what he's doing.
1180
00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:54,310
Although...
1181
00:46:54,345 --> 00:46:56,212
staying
doesn't sound so bad.

I'm actually starting
to think
1185
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:05,822
that maybe the tree should stay.
1186
00:47:05,857 --> 00:47:07,623

until the tree lighting,

the Radcliffe Center tree
is still not here.

its Christmas Spirit.

What's going on?
1203
00:47:44,929 --> 00:47:46,562
So I know you need more time
to think about the tree,
1204
00:47:46,598 --> 00:47:48,064
but I also know
1205
00:47:48,099 --> 00:47:48,631
that I was just going
to spend the whole day

00:47:48,666 --> 00:47:51,367
working and stressing,
1207
00:47:51,402 --> 00:47:54,637
so I decided, in the spirit
of Christmas and slowing down,
1208
00:47:54,672 --> 00:47:56,706
to take the day off
1209
00:47:56,741 --> 00:47:59,375

in some holiday activities.

00:49:50,555 --> 00:49:51,520
Whoa...
1269
00:49:51,556 --> 00:49:52,688
Oooh...
1270
00:49:52,724 --> 00:49:53,589
[Joey]: Nice.
1271
00:49:53,624 --> 00:49:55,024
Yeah!
1272
00:49:55,059 --> 00:49:55,992
They're perfect!
1273
00:49:56,027 --> 00:49:57,259
Definitely not charcoal.
1274
00:49:57,295 --> 00:49:58,828
Did you think they would be?
1275
00:49:58,863 --> 00:49:59,829
Maybe.
1276
00:49:59,864 --> 00:50:01,530
Oh-ho-ho.
1277
00:50:01,566 --> 00:50:03,332
Okay, why don't you put
the cookies over here,
1278
00:50:03,368 --> 00:50:06,435
and we can get started
on the icing.
1279
00:50:06,471 --> 00:50:07,770
[Joey]: Sure.
1280
00:50:15,246 --> 00:50:16,846
[they laugh]
1281
00:50:24,088 --> 00:50:26,689
Before cutting down trees
was the tradition,
1282
00:50:26,724 --> 00:50:27,957
people used to put
evergreen boughs
1283
00:50:27,992 --> 00:50:29,725
in their homes,
1284
00:50:29,761 --> 00:50:31,894
and the boughs
were a reminder
1285
00:50:31,929 --> 00:50:34,063
that no matter
how harsh the winter,
1286
00:50:34,098 --> 00:50:35,197
spring would
always return,
1287
00:50:35,233 --> 00:50:37,299
and that's what
a Christmas tree is,
1288
00:50:37,335 --> 00:50:38,834
a reminder of hope.
1289
00:50:54,118 --> 00:50:55,651
Sorry.
1290
00:50:55,686 --> 00:50:56,919
It's just so beautiful.
1291
00:50:56,954 --> 00:50:58,821
[Sam]:
Don't apologize.
1292
00:50:58,856 --> 00:51:00,623
I'd like to look at something
the way you look at that tree.
1293
00:51:01,959 --> 00:51:04,360
Grandma's tree is going
to look awesome in Chicago!
1294
00:51:10,201 --> 00:51:11,901
You know what?
1295
00:51:11,936 --> 00:51:13,602
I bet there's a good one
right through there.
1296
00:51:13,638 --> 00:51:15,037
Want to go check it out?
1297
00:51:15,073 --> 00:51:16,005
[Joey]: Yeah.
1298
00:51:21,212 --> 00:51:22,945
Thanks for being
so patient.
1299
00:51:22,980 --> 00:51:24,580
Klaus and your family
1300
00:51:24,615 --> 00:51:26,816
makes being patient
pretty easy...
1301
00:51:28,152 --> 00:51:30,252
and honestly, Sam,
1302
00:51:30,288 --> 00:51:33,422
whatever you decide
about the tree,
1303
00:51:33,458 --> 00:51:35,491
I'm just so happy
that I came.
1304
00:51:38,729 --> 00:51:39,795
[clears throat]
1305
00:51:39,831 --> 00:51:42,565
Me too.
[chuckles]
1306
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,266
[Joey]:
I found it!
1307
00:51:44,302 --> 00:51:45,401
I found our Christmas tree.
1308
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,771
[Sam]: Yeah?
Did you get a good one?
1309
00:51:48,806 --> 00:51:50,039
[Joey]:
It's perfect.
1310
00:51:50,074 --> 00:51:51,807
This might work, huh?
1311
00:51:51,843 --> 00:51:54,477
Maybe we should ask
the tree expert.
1312
00:51:54,512 --> 00:51:56,278
Well?
1313
00:51:56,314 --> 00:51:57,813
Joey, how do you make
finding the perfect tree
1314
00:51:57,849 --> 00:51:59,482
look so easy?
1315
00:51:59,517 --> 00:52:00,483
Are you after my job?
1316
00:52:00,518 --> 00:52:02,084
[Sam chuckles]
1317
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,586
[Sam]: I think
you're old enough
1318
00:52:03,621 --> 00:52:04,553
for this now, huh?
1319
00:52:04,589 --> 00:52:06,155
Really?
1320
00:52:06,190 --> 00:52:08,624
Yeah. Okay.
Come on, get in here.
1321
00:52:08,659 --> 00:52:11,427
We do long, just smooth,
slow strokes, okay?
1322
00:52:11,462 --> 00:52:13,062
You let the saw
do the work.
1323
00:52:13,097 --> 00:52:14,130
I'll help you
get started.
1324
00:52:14,165 --> 00:52:15,831
Got it?
1325
00:52:15,867 --> 00:52:17,766
[sawing]
1326
00:52:20,938 --> 00:52:21,904
Good job.
1327
00:52:25,276 --> 00:52:27,743
[Sam]: All right, here.
Think this will do it.
1328
00:52:27,778 --> 00:52:29,078
Yeah? That's
good, right?
1329
00:52:29,113 --> 00:52:30,479
Yeah.
1330
00:52:30,515 --> 00:52:33,616
["Angels We Have Heard on High"
playing]
1331
00:52:33,651 --> 00:52:35,317
Joey, you're a pro.
1332
00:52:36,287 --> 00:52:37,419
Thanks.
1333
00:52:37,455 --> 00:52:39,088
Okay, I have something
for you.
1334
00:52:39,123 --> 00:52:40,022
Really?
1335
00:52:40,057 --> 00:52:41,023
Yes.
1336
00:52:41,058 --> 00:52:41,957
[Sam]:
What?
1337
00:52:41,993 --> 00:52:44,126
[Joey]:
What is it?
1338
00:52:46,297 --> 00:52:48,264
It's an angel!
1339
00:52:49,634 --> 00:52:51,367
[Holly]: My mother's
family has a tradition
1340
00:52:51,402 --> 00:52:53,536
of using an angel
instead of a star
1341
00:52:53,571 --> 00:52:54,803
on the top
of the tree.
1342
00:52:54,839 --> 00:52:56,705
It's a reminder
of everyone we love
1343
00:52:56,741 --> 00:52:57,973
looking out for us.
1344
00:52:58,009 --> 00:52:59,375
It's actually
a tradition I brought
1345
00:52:59,410 --> 00:53:01,110
to the Radcliffe Center.
1346
00:53:01,145 --> 00:53:03,179
I have one just like it
on my tree.
1347
00:53:10,321 --> 00:53:11,520
It's perfect.
1348
00:53:13,024 --> 00:53:14,490
[Holly]: I just think
it's so beautiful
1349
00:53:14,525 --> 00:53:17,193
how our mothers have
influenced our Christmases.
1350
00:53:17,228 --> 00:53:18,394
[Sam]: What do
you say, buddy?
1351
00:53:18,429 --> 00:53:19,361
Thank you.
1352
00:53:19,397 --> 00:53:20,196
[Holly]:
You're welcome.
1353
00:53:20,231 --> 00:53:21,530
Thank you.
1354
00:53:21,566 --> 00:53:22,998
[Holly]: On the farm,
we always had
1355
00:53:23,034 --> 00:53:25,034
a fresh Christmas tree,
with roots.
1356
00:53:25,069 --> 00:53:27,870
My dad would always say,
1357
00:53:27,905 --> 00:53:30,506
"Love is like
a Christmas tree.
1358
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:33,809
It needs to have roots
and wings."
1359
00:53:35,379 --> 00:53:37,012
Hm.
1360
00:53:39,550 --> 00:53:41,750
Uh, well, um...
1361
00:53:41,786 --> 00:53:42,751
Let's get ready for
the festival tomorrow.
1362
00:53:42,787 --> 00:53:43,886
Okay.
1363
00:53:46,290 --> 00:53:47,423
I'll meet you
back at the inn.
1364
00:53:47,458 --> 00:53:48,390
Okay.
1365
00:53:50,127 --> 00:53:51,760
Thanks for that.
1366
00:53:51,796 --> 00:53:52,761
No problem.
1367
00:53:52,797 --> 00:53:54,730
So, uh..
1368
00:53:54,765 --> 00:53:56,699
was an entire day
of Christmas activities
1369
00:53:56,734 --> 00:53:58,267
just pure torture for you?
1370
00:53:58,302 --> 00:54:00,603
Oh, uh... no.
1371
00:54:00,638 --> 00:54:02,004
Um...
1372
00:54:03,541 --> 00:54:05,908
You know, what would you say
if I told you
1373
00:54:05,943 --> 00:54:07,042
it was actually really nice?
1374
00:54:07,078 --> 00:54:09,345
Oh.
1375
00:54:09,380 --> 00:54:11,347
I would say "Operation
Lift Sam's Christmas Spirits"
1376
00:54:11,382 --> 00:54:12,314
is working...
1377
00:54:13,918 --> 00:54:15,584
and I had
a great day too.
1378
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:17,019
Your family's lovely...
1379
00:54:17,054 --> 00:54:19,255
Yeah.
1380
00:54:19,290 --> 00:54:21,724
And being in Klaus
makes me feel like...
1381
00:54:22,927 --> 00:54:24,293
You're home again?
1382
00:54:24,328 --> 00:54:26,228
Yeah.
1383
00:54:31,569 --> 00:54:32,801
Okay. Well...
1384
00:54:32,837 --> 00:54:35,738
I'm going to...
I'm going to go.
1385
00:54:35,773 --> 00:54:38,407
Well, you are...
1386
00:54:38,442 --> 00:54:41,710
overlooking one
Christmas tradition.
1387
00:54:41,746 --> 00:54:43,779
Well, underlooking.
1388
00:54:45,283 --> 00:54:46,382
Oh, the vile weed?
1389
00:54:47,985 --> 00:54:50,119
And I thought that
was just for holiday people.
1390
00:54:50,154 --> 00:54:51,987
Well...
1391
00:54:52,023 --> 00:54:54,256
maybe I'm re-thinking
my Grinchhood.
1392
00:54:55,526 --> 00:54:56,458
Yeah?
1393
00:54:59,130 --> 00:55:00,062
How can I not?
1394
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:05,634
[Joey]: Dad!
1395
00:55:05,670 --> 00:55:08,771
We can't find the sweaters.
1396
00:55:11,042 --> 00:55:12,308
All right,
I'll be right up.
1397
00:55:12,343 --> 00:55:14,109
It's okay.
1398
00:55:15,613 --> 00:55:16,578
Good night.
1399
00:55:16,614 --> 00:55:18,647
Good night.

So, what do you think?
1413
00:55:48,245 --> 00:55:50,446
I think
it's truly...

truly ugly.

01:04:18,856 --> 01:04:21,923
But Holly, you've worked
so hard for your job.

01:04:21,959 --> 01:04:23,191
You are your job.
1627

No.
No, I'm more than this job,
1628
01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:29,364

to Radcliffe
1629

that it's taught me,
1630
01:04:30,968 --> 01:04:33,001

to get out of the city
1631

01:20:55,785 --> 01:20:57,618
and we actually have
the room for it,
1984
01:20:57,653 --> 01:21:00,554
and as for growing
the Radcliffe tree,
1985
01:21:00,590 --> 01:21:02,556
maybe this is
a good start.
1986
01:21:06,863 --> 01:21:09,330
In 50 years,
we can donate it.
1987
01:21:09,365 --> 01:21:11,131
It actually takes 80 years
to get big enough, but--
1988
01:21:11,167 --> 01:21:13,067
yeah, but we can watch it grow
together.
1989
01:21:13,102 --> 01:21:15,736
How did you know
I was coming?
1990
01:21:15,771 --> 01:21:17,271
Well, one, if you weren't,
I was coming to get you.
1991
01:21:18,608 --> 01:21:20,140
Um, but two...
1992
01:21:20,176 --> 01:21:21,475
Holly? Could we
borrow you a moment?
1993
01:21:21,510 --> 01:21:22,810
Sure.
1994
01:21:22,845 --> 01:21:23,878
-Okay.
-Go ahead.

Last night,
1996
01:21:27,650 --> 01:21:28,916
we had the tree lighting
1997
01:21:28,951 --> 01:21:30,517
at Chicago's
Radcliffe Center.
1998
01:21:30,553 --> 01:21:31,919
Tonight, Radcliffe
has come
1999
01:21:31,954 --> 01:21:33,020
to Klaus, Wisconsin,
2000
01:21:33,055 --> 01:21:35,155
and here we have
Miss Christmas
2001
01:21:35,191 --> 01:21:36,824
to tell us
how that happened.
2002
01:21:36,859 --> 01:21:38,993
Well, it all started
with a letter
2003
01:21:39,028 --> 01:21:40,861
from a really special boy
named Joey,
2004
01:21:40,897 --> 01:21:42,997
and, um...
he's here.
2005
01:21:43,032 --> 01:21:43,964
Can he join us?
2006
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:44,965
Of course.
2007
01:21:45,001 --> 01:21:46,467
Okay. Joey!
2008
01:21:46,502 --> 01:21:47,501
Hi, Joey.
2009
01:21:47,536 --> 01:21:49,803
So you wrote a letter
2010
01:21:49,839 --> 01:21:50,938
to donate this tree
to the Radcliffe Center?
2011
01:21:50,973 --> 01:21:52,606
Yup.
2012
01:21:52,642 --> 01:21:55,175
I wanted the whole world
to see my grandma's tree...
2013
01:21:56,345 --> 01:21:58,345
And guess who mailed
the letter?
2014
01:21:59,315 --> 01:22:00,414

01:22:02,084 --> 01:22:03,684
[Holly]:
Okay, well...
2016
01:22:03,719 --> 01:22:05,452
I guess we're ready
for the main attraction.
2017
01:22:05,488 --> 01:22:08,389
-Whoo!
-Yeah!
2018
01:22:08,424 --> 01:22:10,858
Here we go!
2019
01:22:10,893 --> 01:22:12,860
And I wrote
the second letter.
2020
01:22:12,895 --> 01:22:15,029
I just carved the tree
and crossed my fingers.
2021
01:22:19,435 --> 01:22:21,001
[Holly]: Okay, buddy.
2022
01:22:21,037 --> 01:22:22,069
Go ahead!
2023
01:22:22,104 --> 01:22:23,904
-Really?
-Go for it.
2024
01:22:23,940 --> 01:22:24,872
Oh yeah!
2025
01:22:25,808 --> 01:22:27,174

shall we count it down?
