texting me all day.

to share this?

the last few years, Carly.

Our, uh, former choir director,
Miss Jane, she was fantastic,

308
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:48,542
but then she moved away,

309

along with some of
our stronger vocalists,

310
00:12:51,291 --> 00:12:52,750
and, well, we thought

311
00:12:52,834 --> 00:12:54,125
we'd be able to swing it
without her,

312
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:56,625

we could use the help.

to recapture the past,

me taking over the shop one day.

I'll see to it personally.

908
00:38:57,041 --> 00:38:59,166
Now, I'm not sure
what you packed,

909
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:02,208
but Jenny thought perhaps
one of these might work.

910
00:39:02,291 --> 00:39:04,500
These are great. Thank you!

919
00:39:21,959 --> 00:39:24,417

just put these down.

[exhaling deeply]

922
00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:33,208
The key
to the perfect Christmas candle

923
00:39:33,291 --> 00:39:35,208
is three drops
of cardamom essence,

924
00:39:35,291 --> 00:39:36,583
two drops of vanilla,

925
00:39:36,667 --> 00:39:38,041
and two drops of cloves,

926
00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:39,667
with a dash of cinnamon.

927
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:42,083
I usually make
my own cinnamon blend too,

928
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:44,041
but that's a recipe
for another time.

929
00:39:44,125 --> 00:39:46,166
Well, it smells great.

930
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:47,375
Mm-hmm!

931
00:39:47,458 --> 00:39:49,542
I only started making these
a few years ago,

932
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:51,792
but since then,
I've been hooked.

933
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:54,834
It's like there's something
meditative about it.

934
00:39:54,917 --> 00:39:57,083

935
00:39:57,166 --> 00:39:59,125

talking your ear off.

you want to trust me with this?

952
00:40:31,458 --> 00:40:34,166
Mom usually doesn't let people
into her studio.

Well, I, uh...

that eating prunes is good
for relaxing the vocal chords,

No.

Oh, that was not a date.

Our "first date" is when
I put on a pretty dress

Why did you choose that album?

1265
00:53:55,250 --> 00:53:56,333
Happy accident, I guess.

1266
00:53:56,417 --> 00:53:57,417
Mm.

1267
00:53:57,500 --> 00:54:00,000
I guess sometimes
the things we need

1268
00:54:00,083 --> 00:54:01,792

of finding us.

1269
00:54:03,625 --> 00:54:05,291

where Tyler is today?

1275

No. I haven't seen him
this morning.

1276
00:54:26,041 --> 00:54:27,041
Oh.

1277

I can text him.

-Yeah, that would be great.
-Okay.

00:54:29,917 --> 00:54:32,417
Okay. Well, let's get started.

1280
00:54:34,250 --> 00:54:37,250
So, you had one of your creamy
peppermint-drink thingies?

1281
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:39,041
Peppermint egg cream?
Not yet.

1282
00:54:39,125 --> 00:54:40,750
Well, I thought it was
your favorite tradition.

1283
00:54:40,834 --> 00:54:42,208
I'll get there eventually.

1284
00:54:42,291 --> 00:54:45,208
Jenny sent Mr. Barkley's
famous recipe over to my mom.

1285

...to those who wait,
yeah, yeah.

1287

But have you ever considered

1288
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:51,417
that maybe better things come
to those who seize the day?

1289
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:52,792
Oh, hey!

1290
00:54:52,875 --> 00:54:54,166
We missed you at rehearsal.

Well, that's okay.

We just wanted to make sure
that you're all right.

1295
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,083
We got snow last night,

1296
00:55:02,166 --> 00:55:03,542
and I wanted to make sure

1297
00:55:03,625 --> 00:55:05,458
that the driveway was clear
for my mom,

1298
00:55:05,542 --> 00:55:07,125
and I always help
the neighbors out

1299

So you were gonna do
all of this by yourself?

1304
00:55:17,375 --> 00:55:19,375
My mom's been
working really hard.

1305
00:55:19,458 --> 00:55:22,458
She just picked up
extra shifts at the Orchard,

1306
00:55:22,542 --> 00:55:24,417
and I don't want her
to worry about all this.

1307
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:25,667
That's very thoughtful.

00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:28,166
Tyler's father's
serving overseas in the Marines.

1309

And we just found out

1310
00:55:29,917 --> 00:55:31,750
he won't be home for Christmas
this year.

1311
00:55:31,834 --> 00:55:33,250
I'm sorry, Tyler.

00:55:34,750 --> 00:55:36,375
Hey, Tyler.
I'm sure your dad

1313

would be real proud
of how you're stepping up,

1314
00:55:38,792 --> 00:55:40,875

to ask for help.

Are these your decorations?

1321
00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:05,041
I got them down
from the attic last week,

1322
00:56:05,125 --> 00:56:07,166
but we haven't had a chance
to put them up.

You know what?

1324
00:56:10,583 --> 00:56:12,667
I think it's time
we call in the reinforcements.

Put me in, Coach!

1326

I have never been more ready
to spread some Christmas joy.

Here. Let me help.

1328
00:56:27,458 --> 00:56:28,542
They're amaryllis.

1329

Poinsettias are tradition,

1330
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,875
but amaryllis
have always been my favorite.

1331

to water it twice a day,

1332

and you'll have it
all through the year!

1333
00:56:35,750 --> 00:56:36,959
And...

1334
00:56:37,041 --> 00:56:38,834

one of his ornaments.

1335

"Pomanders".

you place whole cloves
into these oranges.

1342
00:56:50,834 --> 00:56:52,208
and then when you hang them,

1343
00:56:52,291 --> 00:56:54,041
they fill the whole house
with the most wonderful scent.

you had the same regrets.

1623
01:09:48,750 --> 01:09:51,875
I'd be lying
if I said I didn't...

1624

missed our shot at something.

It's gonna be really hard
