For Christmas
This is Christmas
Tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh!
This is Christmas..
- Where to next?
- Oh, that was the last stop.
- Oh. Wait, okay.
Thanks for letting me,
I had fun.
You made a lot
That's what Christmas
is all about.
Usually when people ask me
what I'm doing for Christmas
I just tell them
I'm catching up on work
or staying home or basically
anything but the truth.
Which is?
That I'm avoiding it
as much as possible.
I can't believe I just told
you that. I don't even know you.
Well, what would you
like to know?
What it's like
to do this every year?
It's nice.
Let me give you a lift
back to the inn.
Christmas
[instrumental music]
Hello?
Ian? Katherine?
Andrew?
[music continues]
Fa la la la la
la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la
la la la la..
[instrumental music]
The snow may fall
but I don't mind at all
(male #1)
'Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Miranda.'
'Merry Christmas.
Ho-ho-ho-ho.'
Santa knows my name.
But I won't get upset
With you
The skies are grey
But I'm not feeling blue..
Merry Christmas.
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Merry Christmas.
Ho-ho-ho!
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Oh, my goodness.
'Why don't you help me
light the tree?'
'Ready?'
(all)
Five, four, three, two, one.
Whoa! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas.
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Merry Christmas.
My true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas
my true love gifted me
partridge in a pear tree
This is amazing.
It really is amazing.
The music, the lights.
It's really Christmas.
Santa even knows my name.
Yes, Santa knows
everyone's name.
Oh, there's your mom.
It's so nice of her to help.
- Your dad couldn't make it?
- He's here.
(male #1)
'Off you go, off you go,
that's wonderful.'
Ah, young lady.
Up you go!
Ho-ho! Oh, my..
Seriously?
He's so cool.
It looks like
my mom needs some help.
Um, Miranda,
just enjoy yourself, okay?
And if you need to warm up,
Thanks.
Four calling birds
Three French hens
two turtle doves
And a partridge
in a pear tree
On the seventh day
of Christmas
My true love gifted me..
[instrumental music]
istmas everyone..
- Miranda, hi.
- Hi, Ellie.
Oh, here you go, love.
This will warm you right up.
- Thank you.
- Oh, Peter.
This is Miranda,
the young woman
I was telling you about.
Miranda, my husband, Peter.
- Well, it's nice to meet you.
- Hi.
What do you think of our town's
little celebration?
I love it.
I think it's wonderful.
My favorite time of the year.
Oh, Peter, you and Miranda
have something in common.
- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.
You both were raised by parents
who made their living
on the stage.
- Really?
- Yeah, um..
I didn't know
word traveled so fast.
Small town.
You'll get used to it.
- Y-your father?
- My mother.
Tell me,
what was it like for you
growing up in the shadow
of the theater lights.
- Uh, it was different.
- Yes, it was.
I should help Ellie.
- Uh, enjoy your visit.
- Thank you. Thanks.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Miranda. Hey.
Um, listen,
my parents and I, um..
...we're going caroling
with a bunch of friends
and then we're heading over
to Peter and Ellie's afterwards
to celebrate.
We just thought we'd invite you
if you're up for it.
Oh, that's really sweet, Ian,
but I don't wanna impose.
No, you wouldn't be imposing.
Besides, I have a feeling
that caroling is another
might have missed out on.
[chuckles]
There's just one
tinsy problem.
I can't carry
a tune in a bucket.
Welcome to the club.
Deck the halls
with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la
la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la
la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Oh, hi.
Did you go caroling
when you were a little girl?
Actually, this is
my very first time.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
I didn't exactly
have a traditional
Christmas growing up.
Didn't you miss it?
Well, I will say this.
a house with a fireplace
so I could hang a stocking
by the chimney with care.
If you lived here, you'd get to
do that every Christmas.
- Wouldn't she, mommy?
- Hmm, yes, she would.
Fa la la la la
la la la la
Wouldn't that be something?
Fa la la la la
la la la la
Hail the new ye
lads and lasses
Fa la la la la
la la la la..
- Dad.
- Andrew, are you alright?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Are you sure?
Aah! I just needed
to catch my breath.
Uh, Merry Christmas,
on to the next.
Hey. You okay?
Yeah, yeah, sorry, I'm..
My dad's been runnin' on fumes
the last couple of weeks.
He does this every year.
Well, he really
loves Christmas.
Yeah, he sure does.
Do you wanna call it a night?
Oh, no, no, no.
He's not gonna let us do that.
Here, you'll need these.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
We wish you
a Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
ha-ha-ha-ha
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
Oh what fun it is
to laugh and sing..
It really feels
like Christmas.
Thanks for inviting me.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Oh jingle bells
jingle bells
Jingle all the way..
[laughing]
Hi, guys.
Oh, Ellie, you have
such a beautiful home.
Aw, thank you, love.
This is Peter's family home.
- He grew up here.
- Oh.
Well, I love the way
you've decorated it.
Every year, it gets
a little more festive.
Pretty soon, we won't
have room for the furniture.
[instrumental "We Wish You
A Merry Christmas"]
[indistinct chatter]
[knock on door]
Come in.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Uh, I hope it's not too late.
- No.
I just, um,
you hardly said a word
on the way back, so I-I wanted
to make sure you're okay.
Yeah, I think I'm just
a little tired, that's all.
Look, if you need anything..
- If you need to talk or--
- I'm fine.
- Okay. Um, goodnight then.
- Goodnight.
Ian.
Earlier today, Ellie Whitcomb
mentioned my mother..
...about her being an actress.
And you're the only one
I told about that.
Oh, um..
...yeah, i-i-it just kinda
came up.
Should I not have said anything?
[sighs]
I met her husband, Peter,
and we talked about
both having actors
in the family
and he didn't seem
Yeah, well, his father was away
a lot while he was growing up.
Doing shows and all that.
I'm sure that was tough
on Peter.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why he's always
stayed so close to his family.
Because he missed his father
so much.
- Sure.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Good morning. Hi.
- Oh, good morning.
- Mm. Morning.
I wanted to let you know
I may have a lead
on that photograph of yours.
- Really?
- 'Yes.'
I was speaking with
Ben Hailey this morning
