Rocky Mountain Christmas Page #5

---

Nice needles...

Strong branches...

It's a good, dependable tree.

I think

we've found our tree.

Y'all picked

a great one.

Graham chose it.

We.

we chose it.

[Door opening]

Who put that tree

in my living room?

Delilah?

was it you?

No, I just stopped by

to drop off some

Christmas cookies.

And I was just

starting the fire.

[Sarah]:

look, uncle Roy,

I just wanted to...

It was my fault, sir.

All due respect,

i know you're trying

to keep things

low-key this year,

but I saw this tree,

and I just thought

it would look perfect

in your living room,

but...

I think it would look

even more perfect

if it were decorated.

Son, you can save

that hundred-dollar smile

for your fans.

You're not the first guy

who's tried to sell me

the same horse twice...

But...

Around here, hospitality comes

with the territory,

so, uh...

Suit yourselves.

Want to help

us decorate?

No, I'm going to turn in.

You could find Beth's ornaments

in the closet in the hallway.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

That's a lot to ask of him

right now.

Maybe we should all

just give him

a little more time.

Sure.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Uh-oh.

i need help.

Looks like I have

a movie star to rescue.

Oh, that's pretty.

Put it up?

Sure.

[Phone rings]

Josephine!

merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas yourself.

How are things in Colorado?

Are you getting

the r&r you wanted?

Hah...

Not exactly,

but I am doing

what I do best...

Staying busy.

How are things

back at the hotel?

Oh...

Your lobby's such a hit.

Jacobs can't wait to see

what you have planned

for new year's.

He wondered

if you could come back

a day early

to get a jump start?

Um...

I don't know.

I have to think about it.

In the meantime,

i have a parade to plan.

Tell everyone at the hotel

i say hi.

Bye, Jo.

Morning!

Morning.

You're up

awfully early.

Ready to head

downtown

and decorate main street?

There is nothing

i would rather do

than go decorate main street.

Oh.

Uh...

Why do you have

a snowball in your hand?

Uh, well,

this was going to be

your wake-up call

if you weren't up yet.

Seems a shame to waste

such a perfectly

good snowball.

Really?

Okay.

that's it.

[Laughing]

I couldn't resist.

[Laughing]

Okay.

Ah!

Truce, truce,

truce, truce.

Truce.

Oh...

[Screaming and laughing]

You know what?

I called a truce.

Yeah, but I didn't

agree to it.

And you said you

can't trust an actor.

Hi, Graham.

Nicole! hi.

Well, you'd know

if you ever checked

your phone, silly!

Ha.

Um...

this is...

I'm Nicole Collins,

Graham's co-star.

And this is...

Sarah.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, Sarah.

Peter told me all

about your ranch.

He said that I'd be

in very capable

hands here.

Whoa, wait.

Are you staying here?

If that's okay.

I figured, since we're

both in the same film,

I should

probably learn

about ranch life,

too, right?

You want to learn

how to be a ranch hand?

I just figured

I'd learn my lines

with Graham

and absorb all the

atmosphere here...

And then we can spend

Christmas together.

I've missed you.

Huh... heh.

'Kay.

[Nicole]:

you have to catch me up...

On everything.

Yeah.

I'm just going to...

It was a pleasure

to meet you, Sarah.

I look forward to getting

to know each other.

Yeah, me...

Me too.

You have bags?

Yeah, lots

of bags.

Hey.

Hey.

Um...

Sorry about Nicole.

I had no idea that

she was coming.

It's fine.

She seems nice.

Yeah, she is.

She's great, but...

Graham... it's fine.

You don't need

to explain.

I'm just happy

when the guests are happy.

Okay.

Can somebody

please tell me

why Nicole Collins

is out on our porch?

She's our new guest.

Are you serious?

Um....

[Cody]:

can't swing a lasso

without hitting

a movie star these days.

You know,

actually,

she's not going

to be staying here.

Why not?

Well, i

explained to her

that you guys

aren't really open.

The ranch is closed

for the holidays.

I can help show her

around...

I mean,

only if that would be useful.

No.

No, it'll be okay.

Thanks, though.

That's fine.

There's an extra room

in the main house.

I'll go get it set it up.

[Typing]

Hey, you sure you're okay?

Of course.

You know,

I've been doing double-duty

with Graham and the parade,

so it's good.

Now I can just focus

on the parade full-time.

If you say so.

You know, I think

you should really maybe try

taking it a bit easier

on yourself.

I'm fine.

You said it best.

It's best for me

to just keep busy.

Well,

i can keep you caffeinated.

Thank you.

Promise me you'll be careful

on that ladder.

Okay?

I will.

Christmas is here again

Christmas

is here again

Christmas is here again

everybody's home

for Christmas

Christmas is here again

everybody's home

for Christmas

everybody's home

for Christmas

Hey, Sarah.

Hey!

Those are darling.

Oh, it's just

a little something

to spruce up the rotary guys

during the Christmas parade.

Need any help?

Um...

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

Just want to take

one of the red ones

and one of the green ones.

The pin...

Okay.

Don't you just

love it here

during Christmas-time?

The snow

and the lights

and the trees...

I do.

Got a lot of memories

at this ranch.

It's partly

why I'm here.

Figured maybe

if things work out

between Graham and me,

we can make a few

Christmas memories

of our own.

Perfect place for it.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

us dating...

It was originally

just a publicity set-up,

you know.

They actually...

They do that?

Sure.

Our publicists thought

we looked good together,

so we went

along with it,

I was surprised

at what a nice guy

Graham was,

but, uh... unfortunately,

we've both been

so busy with our careers,

the whole thing

never really went anywhere.

Oh, yeah?

I figure this movie's

a perfect opportunity

to get to know

each other again.

And you've all been

so welcoming here.

Let me know if there's anything

i can do to help.

You know what?

There actually is.

Cody has always dreamed

about, you know, being,

like, a stunt guy

who works with horses.

Do you think

you could...

Talk to him about it?

Yeah.

Sure.

That would be great.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, uncle Roy.

What's all this?

I just figured if the horses

were going to be in the parade,

they might as well

look the part.

Just like your aunt--

always figuring out a way

to decorate things differently.

She was the best at it.

Yes, she was.

You okay?

Yeah, fine. Why?

I don't know.

It just seems like

there must be a reason

why you've been working

your fingers to the bone lately.

That obvious, huh?

Mm-hmm.

It's been tough...

With everything

that's happened this year.

Seems like as soon as

things calm down,

another storm moves in.

Well, the good news is,

there's always sunshine

after a storm.

Sometimes, you've just gotta be

a little bit patient.

So...

Hang in there, okay?

Thanks.

You know,

you might want to consider

taking it easy yourself.
