A Christmas Wish in Hudson (2021) Movie Script

(bright music)
(happy music)
(peppy music)
(woman vocalizing)
Snow is falling and
love's all around
Happy couples
seen all over town
And I, I've been
looking for someone
To hold me tight
Keep me warm throughout
these winter nights
You know I've been good
Here, let me help.
You must a got that
from your mother.
She knew how to do
everything just right.
She was perfect.
And so are you, in my eyes.
So, you ready for the show?
I mean, as ready
as I'll ever be.
Hey guys, how you doing?
You must be Patrick.
- Yeah. Hi, hi.
Hey, you must be Nicole.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- How are you doing?
I'm your host, Everett.
If you guys want to
follow me over here
we're about ready
to start, okay?
Come on down.
(playful music)
The guy literally flirted
with the waitress all night.
You're kidding.
No opening up doors
or pulling out chairs.
Chivalry is dead, Amy.
I don't know why even bother.
Lori, the right guy's
out there for you.
I'm beginning to doubt that.
Whoa, whoa! Watch out!
- I'm sorry.
People here are so
busy trying to get
from one place to the next.
They don't even pay attention.
Well, that's big
city life for you.
You need a break.
The long hours at work are
honestly starting to do me in.
I hope Jason approves my time
off request for Christmas.
Me too.
I got to go. I'm
almost at work.
- See you later.
- Okay, bye.
Oh yes, yes.
Here's the star
of our show, guys.
You got this, Dad.
- Thanks.
- Hey Nicole.
Thanks for submitting that
audition tape by the way.
Yeah, of course.
Hey, if you want, you can
go ahead and have a seat.
We're about ready to start.
Great. Thank you.
Yes.
And the most important
thing is just be yourself.
Okay?
- I'm a little nervous.
Don't be. You got this.
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine. Just relax.
You got it.
(pensive music)
- Hi, Tyler.
- Hey, Lori.
- Hey, Lori.
- Hi.
Aw, thank you so much for
the flowers after my surgery.
Oh, sure.
I'm so glad it went well
Me too, but seriously.
That really meant a lot.
You do so much for
everybody around here.
I don't know about
that, but thanks.
Yeah. I know we both asked
for time off before Christmas
and actually I'm gonna change
my days to after Christmas
just to make sure
you get approved.
Fran! You didn't
need to do that.
Yes, I did.
I've had plenty of time off.
And Merry Christmas.
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah, of course.
Ah, we better get back to work.
[Nicole] Dad,
that was so great.
You did an awesome job.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I looked over at one point
and your eyes were closed.
Sorry.
I was up late trying to get
word out on social media
for the boutique's
Christmas sale.
Is your Aunt Jenny
working you too much?
No, not at all.
But she does want me to create
or find someone to
help create a website.
I thought it was doing
fine with word of mouth.
Dad, times have changed.
Every business needs a website.
Can't you do it?
That's not my thing.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Look, let's make snow angels.
(both chuckle)
Come on Dad, make one with me.
You used to love to make
those with your mother.
Remember what she used to say?
"When there's snow,
[Both] Make smell angels."
Look, I caught one.
Make a wish.
What'd you wish for?
I wished for you to
find someone to love.
Just someone to make
you happy again.
Dad, it's been three years.
You used to love Christmas.
Yeah well, I love you.
I love you too.
But be prepared
for the possibility
that when the show
airs this Friday
a bunch of women are going
to come here and meet you.
Yeah right.
A cooking show and me? Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Is that why you
submitted my audition?
Let's get home.
Young lady!
(phone rings)
- Hey.
- Hey.
I am getting ready to leave.
You want to make
Christmas cookies tonight?
Of course.
Great. See you soon.
Bye.
Your New York city client
Isn't happy with
the new homepage.
Jason, they what?
But I, I thought
they approved it.
They changed their mind.
We need to scrap it
and start all over.
Okay, well-
I need it first
thing tomorrow.
But-
Figure it out, Lori.
It's your job.
(thoughtful music)
Hey. How was work?
Don't ask.
Do you want to help?
Too exhausted.
I can't even see straight from
staring at a screen all day.
I know that you
make good money
but that job is
not worth all this.
You need to enjoy your life
and think about maybe
finding someone special.
I wish I could find
what you and Mike have.
I feel like I'm in a rut.
Like I'm having some
sort of midlife crisis.
You're too young to
have a mid-life crisis.
This job feels
like it's aged me.
Well, why don't you go
into business for yourself
like you've always talked about?
I can't.
Why not?
You can work from
home or anywhere.
In my pjs?
In a cute little
town with no traffic?
Where everyone knows your name?
Okay.
But seriously, you're
the one who said
that you should
love what you do.
I do love what I do.
I just don't know if I love
the company I'm
working for anymore.
But you're getting married.
I want to help with the wedding.
[Amy] You don't
have to do that.
You've already done
so much for me.
You're my little sister.
Yeah but, you need to
take care of yourself.
I mean, ever since
mom passed away
you've always taken care of me.
I was happy to
take care of you.
I know, but I'm good now.
And you deserve a break.
Oh, Fran dropped her request
for vacation next week.
So I should get my
requested time off approved.
Yeah. I wish I could
be here with you.
Don't worry about it.
Go have fun.
I'm gonna enjoy this time off.
Hey Lori, I'm not
really liking the stuff
at the top of the website.
You mean the navigation?
Can we have a scroll
down or something?
We could, but it's best
to keep it mobile friendly.
I was hoping it could look
look like this, only different.
Different in what way?
I don't know, but I
bet you'll figure it out.
Oh, and I need it by
tomorrow afternoon.
I also need the Biotech website
finished before Christmas.
Unfortunately, that
won't be possible.
It's my Christmas
vacation tomorrow.
You approved it.
Oh, I know.
But given our numerous
deadlines, I can't let you leave now
But it's my vacation.
I haven't had one in ages.
I know.
Bummer.
If you're not
gonna let me take
my desperately needed vacation
I guess I'm just gonna have
to take a permanent one.
A permanent one?
I quit.
(laughs) Oh, wait, hey.
You can quit.
Then what will I do?
I don't know, but I
bet you'll figure it out.
Merry Christmas.
(energetic music)
(Jason babbles)
You okay?
I know this will sound
crazy, but I feel like
a weight has been
lifted off my shoulders.
It makes sense.
Oh wow I haven't
seen this in years.
This is still one
of my favorites.
Mine too.
Remember how much fun we used
to have making snow angels?
What did mom always say?
"When life gives you snow
[Both] Make snow angels."
(both laughing)
Well, maybe now that
you're between jobs,
you can catch up
on some reading.
Or watch some of
my favorite shows.
Speaking of, "Best
Unknown Chef" is on.
(upbeat music)
The fact that a cooking show
is your favorite is hilarious.
I mean, when I was a
kid, I used to think
a burnt grilled cheese was
normal for the longest time.
I tried.
[Amy] Scoot over.
(Amy giggles)
Today's best unknown
chef is Patrick Jacob,
a widowed firefighter
from Hudson, Wisconsin.
Patrick, where did
you learn to cook?
Rose and I, that's my wife,
we were both working crazy hours
and we had a young
daughter at home.
So I just started
cooking dinners at home,
you know to help out and
then I started cooking
for the guys at the station,
you know, and it was fun.
It's just coming up with
new dishes, new recipes.
Hey that's cool, man.
Well, I dunno the dishes
weren't so good at the start.
They got, they got better
over time, but you know.
Hey, it sounds like
it was natural talent
when it comes to cooking though.
I'm not sure about that.
I really, I learned
a lot from Rose.
And then, you know,
when she passed, I,
I kept cooking dinner
for my daughter, Nicole,
and the guys at the station.
Actually to tell you the truth,
I feel most like myself
when I'm cooking.
We've heard you've been doing
great work around the community.
Yeah, especially this
time of year, you know
we do a big toy drive
down at the fire station.
We also have Santa's
reading where Santa comes in
and he reads to the kids.
And then on Christmas Eve
I like to do something
special for the guys.
So I cook 'em a big meal
for them and their families.
Just as a way to just say thank
you and give back to them.
- Man, that's amazing.
- Why can't I find
a guy like that?
Because you're
always too busy to try.
[Patrick] I learned you can
get called away at any time.
So best to-
We need popcorn.
Put something on simmer
or in a Crock-Pot let
it sit for awhile.
So today we are gonna
cook my amazing beef stew.
[Host] Hey, that sounds good.
Hey, let's get these aprons
on and let's get to cooking.
- Okay.
- All right.
(thoughtful music)
(bright music)
(women twittering)
Well thanks for the ride.
[Nicole] You're welcome.
What's going on here?
They're here for you.
- No way.
- Yes way.
Maybe you should drop
me off around back.
Okay.
(women twittering)
Okay, okay sorry.
I gotta go to work.
Sorry, ladies.
Bye.
(Patrick sighs)
[Fireman] Hey, here's
the man of the hour.
[Firefighter] My man!
Guys, I'm so sorry about this.
I had no idea.
Hey look, they
have been camped out
at the station all night.
- That's crazy.
- On the plus side,
there are a bunch of
sweets in the break room,
cookies, chocolate, cupcakes.
Hey, all in an attempt
to win your heart.
Ha ha, ha ha ha.
Very funny, very funny.
Are you guys ready for
your Monday check-in?
- Absolutely.
- All right, look,
Christmas is gonna be
here before we know it.
And we gotta figure
out who's doing what.
Who is gonna be doing
the Santa's reading?
Oh I can.
Unless you guys want to.
No, look you...
I'm, not my thing anymore.
I'm happy to hand you the torch.
- Yes!
- Besides,
I should be focusing on
my Christmas Eve dinner.
All right, now that
we got that outta way.
Let's go through
our truck checklist.
[Fireman] Absolutely.
Hey kiddo.
Lexi, play Christmas music.
(bright music)
Lexi, play jazz.
(jazzy music)
Lexi, play Christmas music.
Lexi, play jazz.
Lexi, play Christmas music.
I see we got mail.
Can you believe it?
I mean who even writes
letters anymore?
Mm.
Are you gonna go out
with any of these ladies?
Nick, come on.
Will you drop it?
Dad, come on.
What if you miss out on
something really great?
I had something
great with your mom.
Look, this one's a
foodie and she cooks too.
You two have so much in common.
What about her?
Will you stop
bugging me if I do?
Fine one, one date.
Cool. I have a good
feeling about this one.
I got the Christmas
decorations out.
Lexi, play jazz.
(jazzy music)
(thoughtful music)
(playful music)
[Amy] What are you doing?
Nothing.
Looking for a new job?
Yeah.
I think I'm gonna
take some time off
before I jumped back in.
Good idea.
You know, I hear Hudson's
beautiful this time of year.
I saw you looking it
up on your computer.
What?
That Patrick guy
really got to you, huh?
I can't seem to get
him out of my head.
It's like, I feel
this pull towards him.
Is that crazy?
Actually, it's not.
I mean, he seems like a nice guy
and Hudson's a cute, little
small town with a slower pace.
Probably exactly what
you need right now.
Actually I have
something for you.
What's this?
An early Christmas
present. Open it.
A reservation for a bed
and breakfast in Hudson?
It is so cute.
They just had a last
minute cancellation policy.
Plus I just, I don't
want you to be here
by yourself when we're
at Mike's parents' place.
I, I don't know want to say.
Thank you?
(Lori giggles)
You're gonna have the best time.
So sweet.
I am so glad you chose me.
Well, actually it was my-
You know what? We
have so much in common.
I love to cook.
Oh, what's your, what's
your signature dish?
Oh, I guess I don't really
have a signature dish...
(chuckles) Yeah.
Mine's, mine's chili.
I'm known for my, my chili.
- Oh!
- I have a secret ingredient
that just takes it
right over the top.
I'm not really a soup
person, but it sounds good.
Yeah, chili, chili's not soup.
Have you, have you made chili?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean everyone has their
special recipe, right?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
What's your secret recipe?
Meat, I use beans
and tomato soup,
you know, salt and pepper.
All the usual stuff.
But what is your special recipe?
Well, I don't use tomato soup.
Counting.
You're a, you're an
accountant right?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you know,
it pays the bills.
You don't, you
don't like counting?
I get so sick of staring
at numbers all day.
Wow.
I always thought people
should do what they love.
You know?
I mean find something that
you're passionate about.
You don't love
your work, do you?
(chuckles) You mean
protecting the city
that I, that I love?
Yeah. Actually I, I do love it.
So I'm gluten-free and
dairy-free and sugar-free
so we might need to ask for a
different menu or something.
Should we get a drink or two?
(Patrick chuckles)
This is silly.
It's too late for a refund.
Besides it's just a vacation.
If you run into him, great.
If not then you can just
get the RNR that you need.
Right.
Just a vacation.
[Amy] Oh and bring this.
(energetic music)
(happy music)
Thanks.
Can you believe how many
women came to see you?
You're a hot commodity.
(thoughtful music)
Hello? Have you
heard a word I said?
Yeah, of course.
Something about
your hot chocolate.
I wish this vacation would
lead to a new life and love.
Dad, tell me
how was your date?
My date, my date
was terrible actually.
We had nothing in common.
She was a foodie.
Yeah, I don't think
that she was completely
forthright with me.
I mean honesty, honesty
is the foundation of trust
and trust is the most important
part of a relationship.
Can we pick someone else?
No, Nic, I am not going out
on any more dates, period.
But what if we-
You said you'd
stop bugging me.
Stop bugging me.
And you, you have fun at work
and I'll see you
later, all right?
Love you.
- Bye.
(pounding on door)
He's not here.
We should try la Rue Marche.
That's the boutique
his sister owns.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, let's go there.
- Let's go.
(happy music)
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Lori.
I have a reservation.
This place is beautiful.
Why thank you.
You're lucky we
had a cancellation.
Especially with all those
women who flocked to town
to meet our local
firefighter, Patrick Jacob.
I feel very lucky.
Sometimes things
are just meant to be.
Your room is upstairs,
first door on the right.
Thank you.
Enjoy your stay.
You should have
seen all the women.
But you're one in a million.
This was a stupid idea.
Listen, you're already there.
You might as well
make the best of it.
You're right.
I am going to get Patrick Jacob
out of my head and
just enjoy my vacation.
This place is really cute
and seems like the
perfect place to unwind.
That's the spirit.
I'll call you later.
I'm gonna go for a walk
and get some fresh air.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
(thoughtful music)
(Lori laughs)
Whoa, watch out!
Hey!
I'm sorry.
I guess I was just
in my own head.
(Patrick chuckles)
It's... it's okay.
I get that way too.
You made a snow angel.
You know what they say?
When life gives you
snow, make snow angels.
What did you say?
My mom always used to say,
whenever you make an angel
in the snow, she'll be
with you wherever you go.
That's really sweet.
Are you new in town?
No, I'm, I'm on vacation.
Oh yeah.
With your husband
or your boyfriend?
Nope, just me, myself and I.
Well I guess maybe
I'll see you around.
Uh yeah. Maybe.
I should get back.
I'm staying at the
B&B up the street.
Take care.
Yeah.
(bright music)
Guess what?
I ran into Patrick!
You what?
What did you,
what did you say?
I don't know.
I sort of blanked out.
So this was meant to be.
Are you gonna see him again?
I don't know
I heard some of the women
outside of the fire station
say something about about a
boutique called la Rue Marche.
I guess his sister owns it.
So you should go there and
do some Christmas shopping.
I would really
love a snow globe.
(playfully mysterious music)
I'm trying to get
my dad to go out
with some of the women
who came here to meet him.
We have to find him someone.
There's gotta be someone
that he can go out with.
He just won't budge.
A big day huh?
Hmm. Another one hoping to
meet Widowed in Wisconsin.
I'm just doing some
Christmas shopping.
Really? Where'd you come from?
Minneapolis.
I came all the way
from Portland, Oregon.
[Lori] That's a long way.
I guess we'd do
anything for love, right?
Well, love is what
makes the world go round.
(chuckles) Yeah.
(women chuckling)
I think these are
some of the women.
When's he coming in?
I don't think
he'll be in today.
Chase!
What are you doing here?
Yeah, I'm home
for Christmas break
and I thought you
might like some cocoa.
There's peppermint and a
little extra whipped cream,
just like you like it, right?
You remembered.
I love peppermint.
It's nothing.
And I also need to give
my mom a Christmas gift.
I don't know, maybe
some earrings.
Yeah, come here.
These are cute if you want to
get her something Christmasy.
What do you think?
They're beautiful.
I'll take them.
Okay.
You can just bring 'em around.
Chase, you remember Aunt Jenny?
Hi Chase, it's so
good to see you too.
- You too.
- How long are you back for?
About three weeks.
Got any special plans
while you're back?
I hope so.
Guess what?
I will be joining you next year.
You're going to the
University of Minnesota?
- Yep.
- That'll be fun.
That'd be nice.
[Nicole] Do you want us
to wrap those up for you?
Does it mean that
I have to come back
to pick them up?
Yep.
Then yes, please.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Just pay for them when
you come back to get them.
Are you sure? Appreciate it.
Thank you.
- Of course.
So, I'll see you later?
Mm hmm. Yeah.
- See you.
- Later.
That's nice that Chase is
back in town for Christmas.
Yeah, it is.
Ladies, can I help
you with anything?
We just want to meet Patrick.
My dad already said
that he's not going out
on any more dates, period.
We're so sorry, but I
do need those not shopping
to step out so my
customers can shop.
Merry Christmas!
Hey Nic. Oh!
Dad? You're Santa this year?
No, no, but I mean
I had to come up with
some kind of disguise.
Oh, I brought you guys lunch.
Thanks. You're the best.
You just missed
all the ladies.
I know. Yeah.
Walked right past 'em.
I had to break them the news.
You sure you don't want to-
Look, I told you.
Okay? I am not gonna
go out with anyone
who gave up everything
to come here
and meet me after
seeing me on the show.
I mean, who in their right mind
would do something like that?
I mean, if I do meet someone
I want to do it the
old fashioned way.
You know, like I'm
jogging through the park
and then just happened to run
through their snow
angel or something.
Oh!
- Oh sorry.
Let me help you with that.
Snow angel lady.
I'm Patrick, local firefighter.
And chef.
Nice to meet you.
Lori, website designer.
You got a nice,
firm handshake.
You know they say-
[Both] you can tell
a lot about a person
from their handshake.
Wait, you do websites?
What a coincidence.
We're looking for someone to
create a website for our store.
Aren't we, Aunt Jenny?
Oh yes.
We definitely need
to find someone.
You think you could create
a website for the boutique?
Look Nic, she's
on her vacation.
She doesn't want to
work on her vacation.
Actually, I love my work.
So I don't mind.
My dad always says you
should love your work.
I could put together an
estimate and bring it in.
Say tomorrow?
- That would be awesome.
Lori, this is my
daughter, Nicole.
Nic. Nice to meet you.
You too.
And this is my Aunt Jenny.
Hi. Nice to meet you, Lori.
[Lori] You too.
Shall I ring that up for you?
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Hope you find somewhere
nice to wear it.
Thanks.
Well, okay.
See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Bye.
She seems nice and cute too.
Guess we'll be seeing
a lot more of her.
It's funny how fate
works, isn't it?
[Jenny] Hmm.
We're broadcasting live
from the Hudson fire station
as it's the kickoff to
the annual toy drive.
And tomorrow night we've got
the tree lighting ceremony
as things are getting downright
festive in downtown Hudson.
Now what's different this
year is that tons of women
have flocked to our small town
to try to meet local
firefighter Patrick Jacob
after he was featured on an
episode of "The Unknown Chef"
It seems like love is in
the air this Christmas.
So we'll keep an eye on
this developing story.
I was thinking of creating
more of a blog type of site.
That way, when you get new
items, you can post pictures
and mention any sales
or specials going on.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I want it to be easy
for both of you to update.
Easy works for me.
You know, you're really
good at what you do.
Thanks.
[Nicole] Chase! Hi.
Sorry. Is it a bad time?
No. Chase, this is Lori.
She's helping us
create a website.
- Nice to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you too.
What are you doing here?
Jenny already said you
picked up your gift.
Yeah, I did, but I need a
Christmas gift from my aunt.
I didn't know you had an aunt.
What about a necklace?
Sure. Yeah.
What do you recommend?
This one is my favorite.
It's pretty. I'll take it.
Do you want me to gift-
Yes, please.
Okay.
You can just come back
later and pick it up.
Cool. I'll see you later then.
- Kay, bye.
- See ya.
He seemed nice.
He is.
We've been friends for forever.
Just friends?
What do you think
of these logos?
I love that one.
Dad! What are you doing here?
Oh I, you know, just came by
to see how everybody's doing.
Why don't you
two go for a walk?
It's a beautiful day outside
and Lori's been sitting all day.
She needs to stretch her legs.
That's a great idea.
Look, I didn't
come by to interrupt.
- I'm.
- Yeah.
I have a lot of work
to do here still.
You can definitely
use a breather.
Yes you too.
- Go on.
- And take your time.
- You sure?
- Yes, go.
Go on.
(both chuckling)
It's not every day
that I get to run
through town with Santa.
No?
Think anyone's gonna
recognize me like this?
Have you ever seen a
show, it's a cooking show,
called "Best Unknown Chef"?
Okay, well I was on that show
and it's, it sounds crazy
but there's tons of women
who came here to town
just to meet me 'cause
I was on that show.
I mean, can you believe that?
So that's why, Santa.
Oh, weird.
Oh yeah.
Nicole, you know, she,
she actually set me
up on a date with one of 'em.
It was terrible.
Terrible.
I've had my share of dating
horror stories as well.
Yeah. Oh God.
She told me that
she was a foodie.
You know, she loved to cook.
But, I talked to her.
She did not know the
first thing about cooking.
I got the sense that
she wasn't being
completely honest with me.
Let me tell you.
I think we're all just
trying to find love.
Yeah. So how about you?
What are you, you married?
You know, any kids?
Uh. Never married and no kids.
Though I helped raise my little
sister after my mom died.
If that counts.
Yeah.
Oh, that, that must've
been really tough.
Losing your mom and then
helping to raise your sister.
That's, that's a big sacrifice.
Didn't feel like one.
I'd do anything for family.
Yeah.
Family's everything.
Wanna go down by the park?
A few less people down there.
Yeah.
So websites, do you
love making websites.
I do.
I just didn't love the
company I worked for anymore.
So I quit.
I'm planning on
looking for another job
but I wanted to wait
until after Christmas.
Though my dream has always
been to start my own business
helping small companies grow.
You should do that.
You should.
You're never gonna
achieve your dream
unless you take a chance.
Yeah.
What about you?
Do you love being a firefighter?
I do.
I love it.
But I, I am finding it a
little harder to keep up
with the young guys.
It looks like
you're in good shape.
I mean, not that I was looking.
Well, we're a small station
so everyone needs to be able
to pull their weight, literally.
What you do is so
honorable and commendable.
I'm curious though,
what would you do
if you weren't a firefighter?
I don't know.
I'd probably still
work at the station
doing administrative stuff.
You know, I'd give up
my salary of course.
So they could hire
a younger guy.
Wow. That's a sacrifice.
No, not really.
And those guys, they're
like family to Nicole and I.
They were really there for
us when I lost my wife.
It's my way of giving back.
I don't know what I would do.
I bet you could have
a career as a chef.
(Patrick laughs)
I can make you a website.
There's, there's
something you should know.
(phone vibrates)
It's, it's the station.
I got to go back,
but I'll walk you.
Oh no, I, I can
get back on my own.
No, no, look, it's
not an emergency.
They just, they
just need me back.
Besides, I'm not gonna
leave you stranded.
Okay. (Chuckles)
That wasn't very long.
Ah, the station called.
So, which I probably should go.
Wait, Dad!
Why don't you take Lori to
the tree lighting ceremony.
Since she's not
from around here,
might be nice for her to see.
That's a great idea.
You know that I have to cook
for the Christmas
Eve dinner tonight
and I thought you
were gonna help me.
I have so much
to do around here.
Right, Aunt Jenny?
Oh yeah.
It's our busiest time of year.
Maybe Lori can help.
I can burn water.
There's a lot of prep
work to do though, right?
Yeah.
You'd really be
helping me out.
If you could help.
I'd be happy to help.
Okay. That would be great.
Great. It's date.
I really do gotta go.
I should get back to work.
'Kay.
(happy music)
You sure it's okay
that I pulled you
away from the website?
Yeah, of course.
I love Christmas and
everything about it.
Yeah, after my mom passed,
my dad just sorta stopped
celebrating Christmas.
The holidays can be hard
especially when you
lose someone you love.
I lost my mom when I
was around your age.
Really?
I made it my mission to take
care of my younger sister.
Just like how you
take care of your dad.
But sometimes that meant
I put off doing the things
I wanted to do the most
because I was so busy
taking care of her.
Your sister is really
lucky to have you.
And your dad is
lucky to have you too.
So, what about that Chase guy?
[Nicole] Well what about him?
It's pretty
clear he likes you.
We're just friends.
I think he'd
like it to be more.
And it seems like you do too.
(playful music)
Plus he's cute, right?
Do you really
think he likes me?
Hey, I was wondering
since you're in town
if you wanted me
to show you around.
I'd like that.
(playful music)
Hey Dad.
(Patrick sighs)
What are you doing?
I thought you had too much work.
I took a break to
come check on you.
Are you wearing cologne?
Is it too much?
It's too much.
I was thinking that
you should invite Lori
to the Christmas
parade tomorrow night.
And maybe to the Christmas
reading with Santa.
Nic, Nic, I know
what you're doing.
Whoo, look at the time.
Gotta get back to work.
Have fun on your date tonight.
It's a work date.
Okay?
It's not a date.
(thoughtful music)
[Amy] Sounds like
everything is going perfect.
Why are you nervous?
I have to tell him
the reason why I'm here.
I'm worried about
how he'll take it.
He said no one in their right
mind would come to meet him
after seeing him on a TV show.
But still I have to tell him.
[Amy] Fate works
in mysterious ways.
(jazzy music)
(doorbell rings)
- Hey.
- Hi.
[Patrick] Come on in.
Here I am!
Ready to work.
Right. Can I take your coat?
Yeah. (Giggles)
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Oh, your home is beautiful.
Thanks. Come on in.
You haven't finished
decorating your tree yet?
That's Nic's thing. Not mine.
But should we get started?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
(playful music)
Now that our hands are
clean we can start cooking.
We are gonna make my
famous firehouse chili.
I love chili,
especially in the winter.
Yeah, I like to
make it in advance
and then I'll freeze it and
reheat it on Christmas Eve.
Makes sense.
Do you have a Christmasy one?
(Patrick laughs)
What?
We're prepping for
Christmas dinner, right?
Yeah. I think that
Nic has one in there.
Let me get it for you.
Yep, oh here.
Let me help you.
You want me to tie it?
- Oh.
- Yeah, just turn around.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
It's not too tight, is it?
No, it's good. Thank you.
(gentle music)
Okay. We're gonna
start with vegetables.
Why don't you cut the tomatoes?
I can't cook whatsoever.
I'm more of a baker.
I love making Christmas cookies.
It's our annual tradition.
I don't bake.
Nic likes to bake.
When we were little,
my sister and I
used to bake with our mom.
We continued to bake
after she passed.
I know she appreciated
that I kept a lot
of our mom's traditions alive.
I'm gonna get an onion.
From the refrigerator?
Yeah. It's supposed to
keep it from tearing up.
Does it work?
Nope. Cry every time.
Whoa! Hey easy.
You're gonna cut yourself.
Let me, let me show
you how to do it.
Hold the knife out here.
- Yeah.
- Your hands.
Keep your fingers outta the way
and then nice, even strokes.
Just like that.
Oh, when we get to the broth,
I'm gonna have to blindfold you.
Well, I don't want you to know
what my secret ingredient is.
What?
You think I'll steal
your secret recipe?
No, I trust you.
Patrick, there's something
I need to tell you.
I, uh.
Ow!
- Oh gosh.
- Oh.
- Let me see that.
Oh, I told you.
- Oh no.
How bad is it?
I'm such a klutz.
Let's see.
Doesn't look like
it broke the skin.
I think you'll be okay.
I could, put a bandage on
it if you want, though.
No, I think it's okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
(happy music)
All right, what do you think?
This is the best chili ever!
You're just saying that.
No, seriously.
You could sell this.
Well actually I always did
dream of having a food truck.
Really? Why don't you.
Eh.
It's never too late.
You'll never get your dreams
if you don't take a chance.
Touche.
You know we could still make it
to the Christmas tree
lighting if you'd like to go.
I'd love to.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Ready everyone?
(crowd cheers and applauds)
10, 9, 8, 7-
- Oh hey!
- I didn't think
you guys were gonna make it.
Ah, we finished
a little early.
I'm so glad we didn't miss it.
(crowd cheers and applauds)
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
[Patrick] Oh.
Thank you for taking
me to the tree lighting.
I'm glad you got to see it.
Did you enjoy it?
Yeah.
Yeah. I did
Patrick-
[Nicole] Guess what?
[Both] What?
I asked Chase to go on the
trolley with me tomorrow.
- You did?
- Yeah.
I mean, I always
had a crush on him
but I was too afraid
to ask him out.
But then he stopped
by the store,
walked me to the tree lighting,
so I did it and he said, yes.
That was a mouthful.
Ah, I knew it!
Hold on a minute.
A date? You can't go on a date.
You are my baby girl.
Dad. I'm 18.
He's a nice guy with
a nice, firm handshake.
Look, you in the Lori
should come with us.
Trolley?
I mean it's pretty special.
You should definitely
experience that.
I'd love to.
Come on. Let's go look
at more of the lights.
(thoughtful music)
I take it you
had a good night.
The best.
I just love this little town.
He took me to the tree lighting.
Did you, did you tell
him while you're there?
No, I keep trying,
but every time I do
something happens.
[Amy] Well, keep trying.
I will.
(bright music)
(trolley bell chimes)
Wow, this is so cool!
I know, right?
I mean, it's a great
way to see the lights.
For a small town there
seems to be a lot to do.
There is.
Snowshoeing, ice fishing.
Sledding, ice skating.
And hockey.
You know, Nic over
here used to play.
So did Chase.
Oh, that's right.
All I remember is
Chase "Go Nic!"
You know, my dad actually
taught me how to play hockey.
- Yeah.
- You played hockey?
I did. I did back in the day.
He was good.
He's being modest.
Well, if I lived here,
I'd be in good shape.
You look like
you're in good shape.
Not that I'm looking of course.
(Nicole chuckles)
Hey, maybe after this
we can go back and decorate
the Christmas tree.
That'd be fun.
But only if your
dad is up for it.
Ah, yeah.
Okay yeah, no, it'll be great.
Let's do it.
(jazzy music)
(trolley bell chimes)
I know we had some
cocoa earlier,
but you know, you can't
decorate without it, so...
Looks good.
Sorry Chase couldn't join us.
It's fine.
He warned me that his
gramma was coming in.
And we do have our date tomorrow
at the Christmas parade.
- Oh my gosh.
- I know.
How exciting.
You guys are gonna
have so much fun.
Hey Dad, do you
want to help decorate?
No, I'm good.
You get this one.
Naughty. How come I
get the naughty hat?
All right. I will help.
All right.
Here.
(thoughtful music)
You know what?
I think you've earned this.
See?
You know what? Let me
take a picture of you two.
- Yeah.
- Sure.
Alrighty. All right.
One, two, three.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Here, come on,
get in it with us.
- Yeah yeah, come here.
- Okay.
And this one is for you.
Oh, why thank you.
There you go.
How's it look?
Perfect. Looks perfect.
All right, you guys.
One, two, three.
I love it.
Me too.
(Patrick hums)
I don't want
nothing melancholy
Just a little
eggnog and holly
On this holiday with you
So hurry up, don't
keep me waiting
I'm in the mood
for celebrating
Just want a holiday for two
Looks so cute.
Thanks.
Perfect.
- You're a natural.
Hey!
What are you guys doing here?
Well Lori told me how she
used to bake Christmas cookies.
So I invited her to the station
to help me make some
cookies for the guys.
That was very thoughtful
of you, sweetie.
- Thanks.
- I thought so too.
You want to help?
Sure. What do I do?
You can help with icing.
Okay.
Where should we go?
Go right here.
Not that little
guy right there.
Is that right?
[Lori] Um kind of. Yeah.
Like that. Exactly.
Is that too much?
Hey!
We're getting bombed here.
- Oh it's, oh no, no, no!
- Oh oopsie.
Wait a second. (Exclaims)
Yay.
(bright music)
Guys!
We got some food and
some cookies for ya.
Come on over.
(firefighter exclaims)
I want to introduce you to Lori.
This is Stephen and John.
Oh, we met Lori.
Lori, you should come to the
Christmas parade tonight.
I'd love to.
That's a great idea.
Me and Chase are going.
We can all go together.
That is a great idea.
Yeah.
- Well, we should get going.
I still have a special
present we need to wrap.
Whoo!
- Nice to meet ya.
- Good to see ya.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Here you go.
Appreciate it.
So guys, you
remember how I used to
always talk about wanting
to have a food truck?
Yeah.
I've been kicking
the idea around again.
I think you should go for it.
Yeah?
I think, you know, when
Nic goes off to college
that'd be a good time.
You should definitely do it.
So what's making you
think about this right now?
Mm, I don't know.
Ah, it's Lori, isn't it?
She seems great.
She is great.
Wow.
I mean, who would've
thought in a million years
that it would work out
with one of the
ladies who came here
to meet you after seeing
you on a cooking show.
No, no, no, Lori is
not one of those girls.
Okay? Lori's here on vacation.
Yeah. Yeah okay.
When does she leave?
That's just it.
She's leaving on Christmas Eve.
I wish she could stay longer.
I think you should do
something romantic for her.
Yeah, like show
your appreciation.
Yeah.
Just sayin'.
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheering)
I'm okay
Now that I'm with you
Don't you go away
Hey guys!
'Cause you're my wish
that just came true
Now don't wait
If you want a kiss
under the doorway
The only thing
left on my list
Your perfectly made
Just like the snowflakes
The snowflakes
Just like the snowflakes
Falling for you baby,
just like the snowflakes
That fall and
hit your tongue
I wanna share your space
And pull you in
'til we are one
On cold days
Hey, are you guys hungry?
I could go whip us
up something to eat.
Chase and I are
gonna go to the movies.
Okay. All right.
Well, what about Lori?
Oh, I could pick something up.
Why would you
pick something up?
My dad can make you
a home cooked meal.
Yeah, don't be ridiculous.
It would be my pleasure.
Oh!
Hey, I only ask one thing.
Be good to my little girl, okay?
- I will, sir.
- All right.
And have her home
right after the movie.
Will do, will do.
(bright music)
I'm going to dinner
tonight at his place.
Really? Wow.
This is going better than either
of us could have expected.
I have to tell him
tonight, for sure.
(doorbell rings)
- Hi.
- Hi.
Come on in.
It's cold out.
I could take your coat.
Okay. Yeah.
I'll take your gloves too.
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
God, you... you look beautiful.
You look handsome.
Is it too much?
- Too much?
(both laughing)
Oh, come on.
I can't believe that was
something you just whipped up.
Yeah.
I'm glad that you liked it.
That was amazing.
Thank you.
Actually, I wanted to
thank you though, for real.
For what?
I have decided to
start a food truck.
You have?
Yeah. Yeah.
I talked to the
guys at the station
and they they think it's a,
they think it's a great idea.
That's amazing.
Yeah. I mean,
it's a first step.
Yeah.
You know, maybe when I
get it up and running
and you can come back.
I could cook for you again.
I'd like that.
Oh God.
I haven't had this
much fun in...
Yeah.
- It's okay.
It just...
it feels so good to
smile and laugh again.
Thank you.
It's okay to allow
yourself to feel joy.
We should celebrate
with a toast.
Oh, yes.
But first there's
something I have to tell you.
Okay.
I... I don't quite
know how to say this
so I'm just going
to blurt it out.
(glass clanking)
(Patrick exclaims)
- Oh gosh.
- Oh no.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay, I'm just, I'm
gonna put some water on it.
(comically sad music)
(gentle music)
Wow.
(Patrick laughs)
Yeah. Nic got it for me.
My sister got me an ugly
Christmas sweater too.
Are you saying
that this is ugly.
Uh...
Oh. Okay, now what
were you saying?
[Nicole] Dad?
[Patrick] Hey.
You're wearing your
ugly Christmas sweater?
Yeah. I got, I got some
wine on my other sweater.
So what are you doing here?
I thought you and Chase
were going to the movies.
We did.
You told him to get me
straight back home after.
(chuckles) I must
have lost track of time
Well, time flies
when you're having fun.
Dad, did you invite Lori
to the Christmas reading
at the fire station?
Well Santa comes and
reads to the kids,
then hands out toys.
You should come.
We could use your help.
I think I can make it.
Also I, I was wondering
if you might be
free tomorrow night.
Uh yeah. Why?
I'd like to show you
some more of the town.
You would?
Yeah. I, we really like to
do Christmas here in Hudson.
I don't think that
you've actually seen the,
the neighborhood decorations.
That'd be awesome.
[Amy] So, how was the date?
Did you tell him?
I was going to, but then
I spilled wine all over him.
Anyways. We're going
out again tomorrow
to do a holiday lights tour.
Really? That sounds like fun.
Can I talk to you
about something?
Of course. You're my sister.
You can talk to
me about anything.
Patrick's starting a food
cart and him chasing his dream
got me thinking that maybe
I should follow my dream
and start my own business
like you suggested.
Absolutely.
And you could work
from anywhere,
including Hudson, Wisconsin.
True.
(thoughtful music)
Wow, this town is so
beautiful all lit up.
Every season.
Let me see.
Look how your
hands are freezing.
They're always so cold.
Here, you can
share this pocket
and then we'll switch
sides on the way back.
We'll warm up the other hand.
Thanks.
That's a pretty tree.
Yeah.
So what do you think?
Could you ever see yourself
living in a small
town like this?
Yes, definitely.
I'll walk you
back to your B&B.
Thank you.
(happy music)
Thank you for the amazing night.
You're welcome.
There's something I've
been trying to tell you
for a while now, because
I believe that honesty
is the most important
thing in any relationship.
Sounds serious.
I saw you on the show.
You did?
I looked you up online.
My sister found out, so she
made a reservation for me here
at the B&B.
I was hoping to meet you.
But once I saw all
the other competition
I just had to just let
go and enjoy my vacation.
Then we ran into each
other at the park.
Phew, I've been
meaning to get that out
for the longest time now.
You have no idea.
I should go.
It's getting late.
What? Now?
So soon?
Yeah, I got to get up early.
But...
[Patrick] Goodnight.
Patrick?
(sad music)
Dad?
Are you looking at photos?
Are you okay?
Come here.
What do you say me and you,
we go make a snowman tomorrow?
Dad, I'm not a kid anymore.
Yeah? Well you're always
gonna be my little girl.
Always.
He didn't take
the news very well.
He just got up and left.
[Amy] I'm sure
you'll work it out
at the Santa event tomorrow.
I hope you're right.
Have a good night.
See you soon.
(happy music)
- Hmm.
- Hello.
- Hey sweetie.
- Good morning.
Good morning, I made
you some pancakes.
So, decided that when
you go off to college
I'm gonna start a food truck.
- Really?
- Yeah.
That's your dream.
Yeah. I mean it's
scary, and it's risky.
But, I'm gonna go for it.
I'm happy for you, Dad.
I just want to,
I want to show you
that it's important
to take chances,
follow your dreams and be bold.
I'm sure Lori had nothing
to do with this decision.
Right?
I really liked the
effect she's had on you.
She got you back in
your Christmas spirit.
Yeah, well I probably
should get ready
for the Santa reading.
(thoughtful music)
Hey, hold up ladies,
this is for the kids
and their parents only.
Sorry.
- Hey, how do you know
my son's not in there already?
Ho, ho, hold on, hold.
- Jack.
- Didn't you just
hear me tell people
that this is for kids
and parents only.
Nic, there's something
I want to tell you.
Okay.
I've decided to
start my own business.
Really? So is my dad.
I know. He inspired me.
Does this mean you
can work from anywhere?
Have you told my dad?
Not yet.
He's gonna be so
excited when he finds out.
There's something
else I need to tell you.
Hey, how did you
get to meet Patrick?
We couldn't even get close
enough to say hi to him.
What is she talking about?
That's what I was
going to tell you.
I saw your dad on the show.
- What?
- Yeah, wait a minute.
Don't you remember how we
met outside the boutique
and we said we'd do
anything for love this year?
I thought you were
here on vacation?
I was, I, I am.
After I saw your dad on the show
I felt this strange pull to
him and my sister found out
and she gifted me a stay
at the bed and breakfast.
I just thought the way
you and my dad met was fate.
It was.
After I saw all the women
I decided to just
enjoy my vacation.
That's when I ran into
your dad at the park.
Does my dad know?
I told him last night.
Why didn't you say
something earlier?
I tried so many times, but
something always came up.
Honesty and trust are the
most important things to my dad.
And to me.
Honesty is
important to me too.
Here I thought you were
my Christmas wish come true.
Christmas wish?
Well, looks like
we're good to go.
What's going on?
Are you okay?
Patrick, can we talk?
Yeah.
So there's been something that-
Patrick! There's a problem.
What is it?
You know how my parents
are coming into town
this Christmas?
Well, I thought they
were coming in tomorrow,
Christmas Eve, they're
here right now.
I have to go to the airport.
We need a replacement Santa.
I'll do it.
I'll be Santa.
You're the best, man.
[Patrick] Okay.
Hey, did I sense any
tension between you and Lori?
Because whatever it is, I'm
sure you two will figure it out.
Yeah well, she's
leaving tomorrow.
It's probably for the best.
(bright music)
We're broadcasting live
from the Hudson fire station.
Thank you to all the
families who came out
and donated toys for
our annual toy drive.
But without further ado,
straight from the North Pole,
Here's Santa Claus.
Ho, ho, ho, merry
Christmas, everyone.
Merry Christmas.
Santa Claus, thank you
for coming here every year
to spend some time with us.
It's always my pleasure.
My pleasure. Ho, ho, ho.
Now I know you're a busy man.
Are you all packed and
ready for tomorrow night?
Oh, much work, much
work to do tomorrow night
to deliver all the presents
to the good boys and girls.
Well, we're sure gonna
miss Santa aren't we, kids?
[Kids] Yeah.
Don't worry, in just a minute
he's gonna read a story for us.
But also coming up tomorrow
night at the fire station,
we have another special event.
Yes, yes. Firefighters
work 24 hours shifts.
So they often cannot
spend Christmas
with their families
and loved ones.
So tomorrow we bring
Christmas to the fire station
and they will have
a wonderful meal
with their families
and loved ones.
Ho, ho, ho.
And that's what
Christmas is all about.
(group cheers and applauds)
Speaking of firefighters,
you think later I could get an
interview with Patrick Jacob?
Sure. No problem.
Alright.
Anyways, here's Santa Claus
reading "The Night
Before Christmas".
Oh, gather round,
gather round.
Oh, this is a good one.
Was the night before Christmas
When all through the house,
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care
in the hopes that Saint
Nicholas would soon be there.
[Woman] We're
live in three, two.
We're back live with local
firefighter, Patrick Jacob.
And Patrick, it's been a
whirlwind season for you.
I've got to ask the question
that our audience
is dying to know.
Did you find love
this Christmas?
Uh, well love is in the air.
Patrick, wait, can
we finish our talk?
I don't want things
to end like this.
Neither did I.
But-
But what?
You're leaving tomorrow.
Yes but.
I should go
I got a lotta work to do
before the Christmas
Eve dinner tomorrow.
So I guess this is goodbye?
(sad music)
What's going on?
My dad really fell for Lori.
But she was just
another one of the women
who saw him on the show
and came to meet him.
Yeah.
But isn't that what you wanted?
I've ruined everything.
I'm heading home tomorrow.
(knocking at door)
I'll get it.
(happy music)
Chase! Hey, come on in.
What are you doing here?
I'm not even dressed yet.
I know, I wanted
to give you something
before we go to the station.
Open it.
I love it.
Wait, I thought you
got this for you aunt.
I don't have an aunt
and my mom doesn't
even have pierced ears.
What do you mean?
I kinda made all that
up so I could see you.
You bought those gifts
just so you could see me?
That's so romantic.
So you're not mad?
Mad. Why would I be mad?
I don't know, with everything
that happened with Lori.
And I thought to myself
since I wasn't totally
upfront with you
why I was gonna the store
maybe you would be mad at me.
That's the sweetest thing
anyone's ever done for me.
Can you help me put it on?
Yeah.
So, how does it look?
Beautiful.
Well, I should get ready.
See you in a few hours?
Yeah.
Bye.
Dad, we have to talk.
You have to talk to Lori.
Why do you say that?
I'm pretty sure you
heard about Chase said.
Yeah, that he doesn't
actually have an aunt.
And he came to the store all
those times just to see you.
Don't you see Dad?
Lori did the same thing.
She came here to meet you.
And I know she wasn't
totally upfront
with you right away about
it, but she did it for love.
I think it's romantic.
Don't get me wrong, I
was mad at first, too,
when I first found out, but
she didn't have to tell you.
Yet she did.
She was honest.
And she said she tried multiple
times and I believe her.
So do I.
And she makes you happy.
I can't argue that.
And that was my
Christmas wish.
She makes me happy too.
I really like her.
You told me to be bold
and to take chances.
You're doing it
with the food truck.
Are you gonna take
a chance on love?
Look sweetheart, none
of that changes the fact
that she leaves today
That's just it.
She doesn't have to leave today.
She said she's starting
her own business.
She did?
Yes!
She told me at the
Christmas reading.
That means she can work from
anywhere, including Hudson.
What are you gonna do?
Come here.
When did you get so wise?
It's in my genes.
Okay. Now hurry.
You have to catch her
before she leaves.
Go, go, go, go.
- Okay.
(energetic music)
(wistful music)
I'm so sorry to see you leave.
Me too.
I had a lovely time and
everyone is so kind.
I have a feeling we'll
be seeing you again.
I don't know about that.
Before you head out, dear,
you have to stop at the park
and make one last snow angel.
Promise you'll make one for me?
Okay.
Bye.
(hopeful music)
(thoughtful music)
Goodbye Hudson.
Is Lori still here?
She just left.
Oh no.
I missed her.
Maybe you can still catch her.
Check the park.
Park?
Wish me luck.
(frenzied music)
Way to go, Patrick.
You lost her.
Lori! Lori wait!
Wait up.
I thought you left.
I stopped to make
one last snow angel.
Yeah, I went, I went
to the, the B&B.
And she said that you'd gone.
You went to the B&B?
Why?
I had to tell you.
I had to tell you
how I feel about you.
Look. You, you're my snow angel.
You brought joy back in my life.
You make me want to
decorate for Christmas,
bake Christmas cookies.
You know, do snow angels
and be Santa Claus again.
You made me want to make
my dreams come true.
You inspired me too.
Yeah, Nic they told me
you're gonna start
your own business.
Yeah.
You made me not want
to leave Hudson,
made me feel like I was
a part of your family.
You are.
I don't want you to go.
Look, I know, I know I
don't know you very well
but I just feel this
strange pull towards you.
I have from the
second that I saw you.
Is that crazy?
(laughs) I feel the same way.
Will you, will you be my date
tonight at the Christmas dinner?
I'd love to.
We can figure
it all out later.
Yeah?
So what made you
come looking for me?
Oh, it's a long story
but basically has to do
with a holly necklace.
The one Chase bought at
the store for his aunt?
He doesn't have an aunt.
It was all just an excuse
so he could see Nicole.
I get it.
You took a chance
on me, by coming here.
The least I can do is
take a chance on love.
(happy music)
Hi.
- Hi.
Before everyone gets
here, can I talk to you?
Merry Christmas.
What's this?
That's your Christmas present.
You got me a
Christmas present?
You don't need to
get me anything.
The best Christmas present
is just being here with you
and Nicole.
Well this is
from Nicole and I.
Open it, open it.
Thank you.
I'll treasure this forever.
Forever?
(happy music)
My Christmas wish came true.
(upbeat music)
Oo yeah
My favorite time is when
the snow flakes settle
On my eyes
I don't mind that
the chestnuts crackle
In the fire
I love this time of
year and I know why
Christmas is better in twos
I just want to share
this moment with you
Christmas is better in twos
I just want to share
this moment with you
Oo yeah
I get caught up in all
the hustle and bustle
Of holiday glee
Won't be long 'til
we're opening presents
Under the tree
I love this time of
year and I know why
Christmas is better in twos
I just wanna share
this moment with you
Christmas is better in twos
I just wanna
share this moment
You came along
Like a winter song
Now I sing as the
Christmas lights spin
Round and around and around
Oh
