my entry you know cuz Santa's Village

that could go a few different ways oh

don't overthink it people that stressed

out about these contests are Gardens the

ones who really dig christmas those are

the ones who take home the gold and

gingerbread man hey look they have

ginger ale

thanks Bobby look I'm probably gonna use

the powdered kind as this product is so

big but we can use that for cookies

and where's my fresh basil plan favorite

huh remind me again why I brought you

here because my dad wordplay and your

wife wanted to sleep in hey you better

be running the produce oh that kid

cracks me up

yeah he's cute but he's a handful just

like his dad and that ain't Sep smarter

wait you you don't think Nick is smart

my books I mean they take Bobby you know

he's logical he's got that engineering

kid he he he thinks of his head Nick he

thinks with his heart then you

understand that with his folks gone I'm

all he has

I have to take care of it make sure no

one messes with its heart make sure

history doesn't repeat itself if you

know what I mean Ralphie why do I feel

like you're really trying to tell me

something right now tell you anything

I'm

I just remember all those years ago when

you broke his heart

and you know I didn't have a choice I

don't know anything all I know is one

day I was in school we were kids

nick was spending all of his time coming

back and forth to see me his dad

couldn't cope when his mom passed him if

Nick hadn't picked up the slack his

family would lost everything I didn't

want to be responsible for pulling him

away when his family needed him

that's why you left I'm sorry I had no

idea

but you did move back into town you

could have looked him up not me who's

married got a kid they want to rock the

boat and by the time I heard he was

divorced I would say not two ships

passing in the night

two friends passing in the night

that's my really thing people say

all right I'm sorry but your slight dogs

a little tired it's kind of early for me

Ralphie what's coffee's doughnut shop is

right over there on Saturdays they put

out samples I think could be a while I

see well since we have a minute hey do

you want to talk about your list we

could but only one thing that made me

think of Christmas

soccer balls yeah every year my dad gets

me a newborn nothing wrong with that

right I mean we all have different

traditions so we'll do soccer ball

cupcakes well why don't we think about

it a little bit you know when you were

making this list did you know did you

happen to think of any Christmas

ornaments come to mind or Christmas

decorations we didn't put any up this

year what about the ones on the tree we

have tree out my mom's house it's not

like that my dad's great she just

doesn't have time for all that stuff

this year when he's home he has to clean

shop pick stuff and help me with my

homework but I bet he still tries to

make Christmas special for you in any

way you can right I could find you that

soccer ball every year you know what I'm

not gonna let you go to that party

empty-handed okay we are gonna make you

the most Christmasy dessert that teacher

has ever seen right the cocoa express

has arrived don't even think about

touching the peppery one it literally

has my name come on let's go Christmas

tree

how Nick Mazzanti not gonna let that was

mine

do you think these are fresh enough Oh

what Alex will fixate on stuff like this

at the Christmas party uh hon I don't

think a holly bow is gonna get you out

of doghouse with Alex you know it's been

really hard to be around Alex especially

with all the office gossip oh come on it

can't be that bad oh it is

everyone knows even the water guy says

to me are you really coming back after

Christmas yeah that's all the more

reason to focus on the contest so I know

uh I could just win that prize money and

start me kake's company and saying

goodbye to hockey homes ah that's the

spirit hey um how's Nick's kitchen

working out oh it's so great it really

entertains me you know last night we

were brainstorming gingerbread ideas

he's suggesting brainstorming so you

haven't started your entry yet oh no I

started it I mean it needs a lot of work

but it started it oh oh there is it

office first

oh no honey we don't need to Christmas

trees again this year no this one's for

Nick you're you're buying Nick a

Christmas tree yeah his son said I

didn't have time to buy one yet

so well do you want some advice from

someone who's been around a little

longer than you man really but that

never stopped you before

oh you just got out of a pretty bad

breakup so you might want to slow your

roll a little was it really that fast

Oh frontier incoming I just remembered

mistletoes around don't do not leave

Nick tonight

hi Alan see ya early I could lie and say

I'm here shopping for a tree but truth

is Michelle told me you'd be here

listen I don't want you to worry about

the party that whole Hollywood scene

fiasco I heard happened last year won't

happen um you're getting a tree okay

there's a guy who'll do that I wanted to

talk to you

apologies

I was standoffish work everything just

kind of took me off guard the other

night me too I also hear congratulations

are in order

Michelle told me about the contest you

entered last year too didn't I yeah

fifth time's the charm clearly your

perseverance paid off um you know I've

been doing some research into the

contest it gets quite a bit of media

attention that kind of publicity would

be great for hockey Holmes I'm not sure

I follow

well there are four semi-finalists right

I'm sure all of them have big corporate

sponsorship you're an employee would

make sense for hockey Holmes to sponsor

you well how would that work it's easy

just wear a hockey Holmes apron I'll pay

for all your materials and you can use

the kitchen in the new model home make

the model home by the lake the one with

the chef's kitchen have a double oven

marble countertops beautiful view of the

way oh wow let's have to say no to that

don't look I should have done more to

show you I appreciate you but I

recognize your talents I'm not asking

you to change your mind about me I'm

just asking you to let me support you

besides miss having you on my team

I really appreciate your offer but

I think I have to do this on my own

thank you

good morning hi it's a Sunday I started

late on Sundays oh what's this word if

you want to get in the restaurant early

how about it thank you and I heard you

were a treeless thanks Kylie I've got

you've got Christmas covered really

because I someone would beg to differ

okay hi hi what's all this I was driving

past a lot and Bobby had mentioned that

you guys didn't have a choice it's great

you've taken an interest in Bobby but

it's taken me a while to get this whole

single dad thing down and work with what

I got I'm sorry I'm sorry I just get

carried away with Christmas and you know
