The Good Witch's Gift Page #5

Is it worth more than a regular dollar?

Well, that depends on how you spend it.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas, Middleton!

Merry Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho... oh!

That's the spirit.

And a prosperous new year to you.

And to all of us.

It's only two days till Christmas,

and I still don't know what to get you.

That's okay.

I was going to make you

this Christmas ornament,

but... pretty lame, huh?

Brandon...

I'm sure I'd like just about

anything if it came from you.

Yeah, but...

What do you really want?

I, uh... don't think there's much chance

I'll get what I really want for Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho!

Happy holidays to you!

Oh, thank you.

Got any change?

Just this.

Oh, nice coin.

What's it worth?

A dollar?

Maybe it's worth something.

I don't know.

Maybe it'll make somebody have

a better Christmas than me.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Jodi?

Mommy, there's Santa!

Can we please say hi to Santa?

What a sweet family.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Santa. See ya.

- Bye, Santa!

- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Yes, I'm making truffles

for the wedding guests.

So if you could just double that order...

Yes, I know it is a lot of chocolate

but as I always say,

you can never have too much love

or chocolate.

Oh, thank you so much.

Hello, Derek.

- Hi.

- Keeping our streets safe?

Thanks to you.

Getting Leon in a Santa suit?

How did you manage to do that?

Never underestimate the magic of Santa.

- I have your pie plates.

- Oh,

- how'd you like the mince pie?

- Loved it.

Well, I'm ready for my next treat.

Evening, ma'am.

Oh, Deputy, it's me. Betty.

Betty!

Listen, I wanted to

ask you about your cake.

Which frosting?

Beautiful.

Oh, yes, it's going to be beautiful.

But I want to know which flavour.

No, I meant you!

Oh, well... thank you!

You know, after a day

of wearing this necklace,

I just had to go buy a

new dress to go with it.

And then I had to buy new

shoes to go with the new dress,

and then I got a new haircut

to match my new outfit,

and before I knew it,

I had a total make-over.

It's amazing how this little necklace

inspired a whole new me.

Not new.

The outer sparkle just helped

your inner sparkle shine through.

I'll say.

I'll say chocolate frosting.

Not that it's my cake, but,

you know, I'm sure

whatever cake you make is...

is going to be great.

Thank you, Derek.

Um... I'm going to go back to my bake shop.

I'll, uh, I'll walk you.

Okay.

Say, what are you doing Christmas Day?

Cassie, you're really

doing a good job on those.

Thank you.

Mmm, thanks.

I got our wedding license.

What?! That's terrific! Really?

- How?

- I just told the county clerk

that you'd been paying

state and federal taxes

under the name Cassandra

Nightingale for years

and that if it was good enough

for the Internal Revenue Service

then who were they to say otherwise?

Brilliant! We're on a roll!

Now all we have to do is figure

out a place to have the wedding.

Well, what happened to the garden club?

Well, they won't let us use

their solarium for the wedding.

Something about the

body heat from the guests

wilting the lilies.

That's ridiculous!

Well, they've got a point.

You and I have a way of

raising the temperature all by ourselves.

Jake...

lighten up!

Sorry, it's just...

It's Christmas.

Everything's either booked

or closed for the holidays.

Well, not to worry.

I have a plan.

Yeah, you always do.

I also have our minister.

He's happy to drive down from Lakeville.

Apparently he and George go way back.

Yeah, George...

He's talking about moving.

To Montreal.

He's got a friend that

owns a restaurant there.

What? But...

You and the kids have to get together

and figure out a way to talk him out of it.

Cassie, we're not even talking.

Well, I've got to get back to work.

Why don't you stop for a cup of

coffee on your way to keep warm?

What?

What's that smile about?

I just remembered that I'm

marrying you on Christmas Eve.

Just a coffee, please.

Betty!

Just the usual, Chief Russell?

Yes. The, uh...

Okay.

Well.

Is this seat taken?

It is now, I guess.

Brandon...

You can't still be mad at me.

Why not?

You still think Jodi's a thief.

I never said that.

It's tough on Jodi.

She has such a big heart.

She hides it cause she

has this rep around school.

All because her dad was in prison.

You know, I was beginning

to think that you were

very close-minded. But you're not.

Not when it comes to your friend.

She's funny. And fun, you know?

The things she says,

the way she dresses.

She's different.

In a good way.

That's why I like her so much.

Who does that remind you of?

Your friend, Jodi.

She sounds an awful lot like

the woman that I'm gonna marry.

For all the same reasons.

Christmas special?

They, uh... top it with

red and green sprinkles.

Well, you let me pay for that.

Cassie already did.

Really?

Yeah.

She sent me down here.

Said I deserved a treat.

So, what brings you here, George?

My feet.

I was just out for a long walk,

and I thought I'd knock on your door.

Is this herbal tea?

No, something stronger. Irish breakfast.

Oh. How'd you guess Mr. O'Hanrahan

would be paying you a visit?

I always feel welcome here.

Hmm, Grey House.

Dear old Grey House.

Something wrong, Cassie?

Oh, it's just an old house

and it needs a lot of TLC.

It's a big responsibility.

Well, you're up to it.

After the wedding, Jake and I

will be staying at his house,

and I can't be two places at once.

Are you sure?

Now, George...

Hmm... maybe running a B&B is...

a hands-on job.

And half the time I won't be here.

Oh, I want to hold on to Grey House, but...

But without the B&B income,

I'm just not so sure anymore.

Ah, but I've been doing

all the talking. So...

is there something on your mind?

Oh, nothing.

It's funny how, uh...

a long walk sometimes will clear your mind.

Want a cup of coffee, Chief?

No, thanks.

Are you sure? You look a little tired.

I'm fine.

- You working overtime?

- Yeah.

You've been out here almost every day.

Yeah, that's right.

Except tomorrow.

Cause you're getting married.

I got that covered, too, Leon.

Yeah, I bet you do.

Well, we'll see you around, huh?

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

Thank you very much.

Got the dress! It's all fixed up!

And ready for the big night.

Oh. Thanks.

It's not about the dress, is it?

Lori, you can tell me anything.

I don't have the ring.

I lost it. You gave it to

me, you trusted me, and...

I let you down.

Oh, honey. No tears.

Okay?

But you told me it belonged to your mother.

You said it was all you had

left from your old family!

I have my memories.

And those can never be lost.

And now,

I have my new family, too.

So let me tell you something

about that old ring.

It has a mind of its own.

I've misplaced it before and that ring...

always finds its way back to me.

- Hello, Miss Nightingale.

- Hello, Martha.
