- Alright, folks.
It's going to be
one hot day again today
all over Georgia.
In fact, most areas will be
in the 80-to-90 degree range.
That includes Calhoun, Rome,
and Carrollton,
all hitting 85 and above,
and a whopping 88 in Atlanta.
We've even got 82 in the North Georgia mountains.
Looking ahead to next week
and the extended forecast,
more of the same
with temperatures
soaring into the high 80s
all across our viewing area.
I think we can put away
those boots
and ugly Christmas sweaters,
folks.
It's going to be one hot
Christmas season.
If you were wishing for warm
weather for Christmas,
Santa delivered.

- Hey. Definitely does not feel
like Christmas, babe.
I mean, what, even for Atlanta,
it's got to be, like, what, 80?
- Uh, 88, to be exact.
Geez, we're going to be throwing
Christmas dinner on the grill
if this keeps up.
- What?
- Well, that's a wonderful idea.
- Hey, sh**t, hot dogs and ribs
for Christmas?
Cool by me, but I don't know
about Miss Stephanie, though.
- Well, Christmas at our house.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How do we go from burnt hot dogs
and sticky fingers
to us hosting Christmas dinner
together?
- Come on.
You know how I'm always saying
we need to have
childhood memories
for Chandler at our own home.
- Yeah.
- And how I'm always complaining
that she spends more time
at Mom's house than at ours.
- Yeah, but that's not
the same, babe.
- You know what, Blair?
I think that Chandler's first
Christmas
that she actually remembers
should be in her own home
with her own Mom's cooking.
- Your cooking?
- Yes!
My cooking.
I'm thinking tapas, okay?
Uh, garlic-pepper shrimp,
stuffed bell peppers,
pimento cheese sandwiches,
a little bit of chorizo.
- Don't think Miss Stephanie's
gonna like this.
- Yeah, well, guess what?
Oh, you know what?
I need to get back

Ugh!

Anyway, we're going to have
a fantastic feast.
We're going
to have fettuccine Alfredo

- Lord be a life vest.
- We're going to do
some bruschetta,
and then some Alfredo, and then
some linguine with clams,
and we're going to have
minestrone soup
with some bruschetta
and wash it down with a Chianti.
It's going to be magnifico

That's Italian for nothing.

That's Italian for ragu.

I make the pasta by myself

Yeah, I actually do.
I love it out here.
- Yeah, me, too.
It's just the fresh
mountain air, breathing it in.
Yeah, I'm a real outdoorsy

- Yeah...
yeah, a real "outdoorsy"

- Don't judge a book

I'm just -- I'm curious,
why are you out here all alone
in the mountains
for the holiday?
- Who said I was alone?
- Oh, I know a loner
when I see one. Trust me.
- Well, look, it's been...
it's been nice chatting
with you, Elizabeth, but...
maybe you should get back
to your family.
- Hey...
if you ever get tired of
"not" being alone
out here in these woods,
then, you know where to find me.
I'm so glad
you brought this thing.
This is wonderful.
- Yeah, I get
some things right, babe.
I'm glad you took a break.
- Yeah.
- Where's Chandler?
- She's in the house with Mom.
You know, I think Mom thinks
I'm trying
to keep Chandler from her.
- Are you?
- No.
Yes.
But you know how
Mom can be.
She's always imposing her stuff
on everyone.
I want to impose my own stuff
on Chandler.
- Babe...
- Mm?
- ...Chandler knows
who her mother is,
and nobody can
outshine you.
- Have you met my mother?
- Oh, A few times.
- No, you're right.
- Isn't this nice?
- So nice.
- The only thing that could be
more perfect is if
the family was around the fire
pit singing Christmas songs.

Easter, birthdays, Mother's Day.
