Christmas in the City Page #8

or the board

or investors to save wolman's.

What wolman's needs

is to get back to what it was...

With real Christmas trees

and window displays

that look like snow globes.

We need to get back

to treating our staff

and our customers like family.

And most importantly, what

wolman's needs is Santa claus.

- Make sure you book

my Christmas holiday

on the island for two this year.

I have a feeling

I won't be alone.

There's nothing like being

on a beach on Christmas day,

away from all you people.

Have some champagne sent over.

I have some celebrating to do.

Gloves.

- I forgot 'em.

Go fetch them and bring them

to the condo.

- But how am I gonna get there?

- You have two legs. Walk.

- Wendy.

- Tom, what are you doing here?

- I came here to tell you

that you were right

about the store, about teanna,

about everything.

I never should have

allowed her to do away

with the best part of Christmas.

- And you don't think

I would steal?

- No, I never thought that you

would do anything like that,

and I know

you love wolman's too.

I...

If you can forgive me,

I could really use your help.

Come on.

Who wants to take back

Christmas?

Yay!

- Ready?

- yep.

- Yes!

- yep.

- Let's do this.

- Hanging up the tree

and mistletoe

I'll meet you there

la, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la

give me back the yuletide

that I miss

sweep off the dust

from old Saint Nick

he's got the list

la, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la

all I want for Christmas

all my people coming home

all I want for Christmas

is the Christmas that I know

- I know what we could do.

We could put Santa in the sleigh

in the front part of the hallway

of the store.

- Yeah.

- that's a great idea.

- It's not about

the painted plastic trees

it's a wonderful life

when you're with me

it's all we need

la, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la

- This is tight.

- Ah!

- No, I was just thinking we

could put Santa on the sled.

- You think so?

- Yes.

- That's christmastime

three wise men and tiny Tim

make no score

- What can I do?

- Even the grinch knows

what the season's for

all I want for Christmas

- Here's some scissors.

- Scissors? nice.

- There's a lot of wrapping

to do.

- Where is Bruno?

That lazy lout never brought

my gloves.

- Oh!

- It's good, isn't it?

- So pretty.

- Who did this?

- We did.

- What is she doing here?

Bruno, get me the police.

Well, don't just stand there!

- No one's calling the police,

teanna.

We know what you did.

- Well, then you're

a bigger fool

than your dear,

sweet uncle Harry.

You people!

Get this stuff down.

It's an eyesore.

- Don't do that.

- Bruno, why are you just

standing there?

Ugh!

what is wrong with you people?

- Oh, no!

- Oh, come all ye faithful

joyful and triumphant

oh, come ye

oh, come ye to Bethlehem

come and behold him

born the king of angels

oh, come let us adore him

oh, come let us adore him

oh, come let us adore him

Christ the lord

sing, choirs of angels

sing in exultation

oh, sing all ye citizens

of heaven above

glory to god

glory in the highest

oh, come let us adore him

oh, come let us adore him

oh, come let us adore him

Christ the lord

- Yay, Angie!

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- You.

You think you won

your little battle.

Well, let me tell you.

I can give Tom the one thing

that you can't,

and that's wolman's served

on a silver platter.

- Actually, I don't need you.

I've never needed you

and neither does wolman's.

- Fool!

- I wouldn't be doing that

if I were you,

seeing that you

are on the naughty list.

- Ho, ho, ho!

- Santa!

- Hello, dear.

- Just wait until the board

hears about this.

- To hell with the board.

This is my store.

I will do what I want,

starting with firing you.

- You can't fire me!

Moore won't bail you out

without me.

Then where will you be?

- We'll be exactly

where we want to be.

Now get out.

Oh!

- You are never gonna

believe this.

Philip Morgan from London cross

theater group was here,

and he gave me his card.

He loves my voice.

Isn't that incredible?

- That's amazing!

I told you you just

had to find your audience.

- I know. I just didn't think

I was gonna find it

in a department store.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Wendy.

- yeah?

- Thank you for everything.

I would not have been able

to do it without you.

I just, uh... I hope you'll be

staying with us.

- Oh, I wish I could.

I have to go back home,

take care of my store.

But merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, Wendy.

- Okay! there we go.

- Bye, Tom.

- Merry Christmas, Grace.

- Christmas is

the time we take to say...

- Oh!

that was Helen on the phone.

She said that Angie

is going to London

with that new theater troupe.

- Oh! that is amazing!

I knew she would do it.

Mommy, look!

Pink skates!

- Pink skates? How fancy!

How did Santa know?

- Oh, Santa knows everything.

- Dad would have loved this.

- Yeah.

I know you're upset

about the store,

but you did everything

that you could.

And just because you let it go

doesn't mean he's gone.

Your father will always be

right here with us.

And right now, I know

how very proud of you he is.

- I know.

And I'm really glad

that the store sold for enough

to take care of you.

- I always have enough.

Stop that.

- Mommy?

- yeah?

- Can we go skating?

You bet we can go skating!

Let's go get changed.

And you, hot cider

when we walk in the door?

- Of course.

- Yes!

- I'll see you both

when you get back.

- Let's go.

- Christmas is the time

we love to share

- You know, you never told me

what your secret wish was

for Santa.

Did it come true?

- Not yet.

- And forgive those mistakes

you made

Christmas is the time...

- You left before I could give

you your bonus.

- Tom! what are you doing here?

- I hope it's not too late.

- I thought...

- My uncle decided to reinstate

the bonuses.

Thank you.

Um... but I don't think it ever

would have been enough.

Also, I think it's time

to let it go.

- Oh...

Well, the bonuses

aren't the only thing

that Harry's brought back.

He's also drawing up plans

for some new departments.

One of them's a candy shop.

I thought we could call it

carroll's candy.

- That is so sweet.

- One last Christmas wish?

That's to have a real carroll

run it.

- Me? oh!

Wow!

I guess both of our

Christmas wishes came true.

- Almost.

- Thank you, Santa.

- I see you got your skates.

Why don't we head down

to the rink?

- Oh, no, no,

I don't skate though, remember?

- I'll teach you.

- You're my Christmas,

my present, my tree

You're my Christmas

- Ooh!

- Let's go, ladies.

Ready?

- Aah!

- Where you going?

Where you going?

- Christmas

you're my Christmas

Christmas

you're my Christmas

- ooh

Aah!

Whoo-hoo!

- Ready?

- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- Ready to get up?

- Oh!

I'm here for you.

- You're all I need

- Whoo! Look at her.

- You're my Christmas,

the present, the tree

you're my Christmas

the Santa I can see
