Forever Christmas (2018)

Post by bunniefuu »

[Reporter] Coming up on KTLA 5:

This season's hottest Christmas

gifts!

It's November 1st people,

give us a break!

Hi.

How's your day so far?

You heard, right?

Barely into my first episode

and already it's a mess.

Potential mess.

Anyway, why do you think

I recommended you for this job?

Because I haven't worked

in almost a year

and my career was vanishing

before my very eyes?

Guess again.

Because I'm your oldest friend?

Because you're smart

and resourceful,

and good at troubleshooting.

And there's plenty of trouble

to sh**t around here.

Now you tell me.

It's true, you can handle it.

Except for getting over

that cheat Marco

and the whole man embargo.

It's been way too long, Soph.

Over Marco. No embargo.

Not looking.

Please! If you're living,

you're looking.

Sophia! Sit, please. Help.

I always thought

the Sexy Santa Society

sounded a little... sketchy.

Who knew they were going

to get busted

for running an

ill*gal escort ring?

And we just thought they

serviced shopping malls.

They certainly put the "h*"

in "h*-h*-h*."

To be honest, I always thought

doing a whole episode

on the group seemed

a little exploitive.

Even for a show called

"Extreme Holidays."

Oh, I'm sorry we aren't as noble

as the cooking shows

that you were working on.

Yeah, well, there's nothing

noble about getting cancelled.

Or being unemployed.

Ain't that right?

Now, check out the article

I just sent you, okay?

I forgot all about this guy,

but it just might work.

Guy celebrates Christmas

365 days out of the year?

- Yeah.

- I can hardly handle it one day.

That's why we're not doing

a show about you.

What kind of oddball is this

Will Saunders?

A devoted one, apparently.

His house is a shrine

to all things yuletide.

And he does charity work:

kids, pets, and homeless people.

So, he should want to do this.

And, if he's not

a complete freak,

we should want to, too.

I can't even tell

what he looks like

underneath this reindeer get up.

Nothing about his personal life

except for 33,

has a history in production

and carpentry in scenic design.

That makes sense, I guess?

I just sent you the number

from the studio where he works.

I want you to find him,

meet him, and sell him.

You have one day, sorry.

I'm on it!

Oh, and don't forget that

the entire Bravada TV deal,

not to mention your future

as a producer here,

hinges on the success

of this show.

So... no pressure.

None at all.

Thank you!

No Twitter, no Instagram...

Social media ghost.

Hi, is this Will?

Will, this is Sophia Worthy.

I'm with Super Real Productions.

I am producing a new reality

TV show about the holidays,

and we...

I got your phone number

from your work,

I hope that's okay.

Anyway, this whole "every day

is Christmas" thing you do

sounds really...

fascinating...

and I wondered if we could meet

and talk about filming you

for the show?

Oh, can I ask you why not?

Well, yeah, it's reality TV,

but not how you think...

That's a drag.

You know, it really

could have brought

a lot of attention to all that

great charity work you do.

Oh yeah!

It could have been

a big part of it.

Amazing!

How does tomorrow morning sound?

Yes, I do know that place.

10:00 a.m.? Perfect!

I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

Charmer.

Yes!

Excuse me, Will?

Sophia from

Super Real Productions.

Sorry, my bad.

I thought you were someone else.

Sophia?

You're Will?

You were expecting an elf?

Maybe?

What can I get you?

Oh no, it's on me.

Well, it's on Super Real

Productions, actually.

What do you want?

Thank Super Real,

but it's on me.

No arguments.

Okay.

Medium, non-fat,

half-caf, no foam latte,

with a teaspoon of agave.

Coming right up.

Can I get a medium, non-fat,

no foam, half-caf latte,

with a teaspoon of agave?

Christmas blend,

and just a regular

Christmas blend for me.

Thanks.

What's this?

Just a little something for you.

Open it.

My first gift from

Mr. Christmas.

I could get used to this.

Is that so?

I mean...

I meant, the gifts

you must give...

The pink one's strawberry,

the yellow is lemon,

and the orange is passion fruit.

How did you know I liked

macaroons?

Just a guess.

They seem kind of fancy...

like you.

Fancy?

Interesting.

Hope you like Christmas blend,

I used it for your latte.

It may or may not surprise you

that I wait for it

all year long.

I love Christmas blend,

it's my favorite.

Yay!

So you live around here?

Yeah, I'm in Vista Gardens.

A little bungalow

right in the canyon.

I know the place, actually.

Really?

Yeah, a friend of mine used to

live right next door, I think.

Beautiful spot. Quaint.

So, the show.

The show, right.

Look, I don't want

to disappoint you...

But I'm a pretty low-key guy

and the whole reality show deal

just isn't really my thing.

And honestly, people don't

understand what I do.

Or why I do it.

Then let's change their mind.

You could create a whole

new massive wave

of Christmas enthusiasm!

What's in it for you, exactly?

A skeptic, are we?

Been down this road before.

Okay... the truth?

Our story just fell through

and if we don't find a new one

ASAP we're screwed.

My last show went belly up

and I need to prove myself.

To be honest with you,

I don't know if you are right

for the show,

not until I see your house.

But after meeting you,

I think you could be

great on television.

How's that, mystery man?

That was honest. I'm impressed.

And between you and me,

I am cuckoo for Christmas.

Producing a show like this

would be a dream come true.

If you like my house.

Right, I'd have to see

your house first.

So can I?

I'm not sure.

I'll have to think about it.

Right, of course. Think about it

and let me know.

But I have to know

by the end of the day.

[Paul] So...

he's not the oddball you

thought he was going to be?

Nope, he's actually

kind of a regular guy

with an irregular hobby.

And he's also kind of

on the hot side.

Really? How hot?

Like fireman meets GQ model

meets superhero hot.

You're going to like him.

I'm married.

I don't have the luxury

of liking anyone anymore.

4:45.

End of day.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hey.

Will? Hi, it's Sophia Worthy.

Ah, Sophia Worthy.

Is it the end of the day

already?

We're getting there.

So, what did you decide?

Wow, cutting right to the chase.

Listen Will, if you're

not going to do it,

please just tell me now.

Okay, I don't want to do it.

Oh...

But that doesn't mean I won't.

Or that I will.

I'm confused.

At this point, all I can offer

is an invitation for you

to see my home.

How's half an hour?

Nothing like playing

hard to get.

Is that what you're doing?

Let me give you my address.

[door knocking]

- Hi.

- Hey.

Welcome to my humble abode.

Humble? More like amazing.

It was my grandparents home.

I inherited it.

And who's this?

This is Romeo.

My vicious guard dog.

They're a pretty good

judge of character.

Come on!

I'd say holy cow,

but I'm assuming

you've probably

heard something like it.

Doesn't get old, trust me.

How do you keep

those floating like that?

They're suspended on a filament

that washes out in the light.

Tricky.

Tricks of the trade

in the movie business.

Follow me.

Oh, and don't mind

the mistletoe.

It's everywhere.

Thanks for the warning.

Wow...

How do you keep

those snowing like that?

Wait, don't tell me!

More trade secrets?

So, how did this all start?

Honestly, I've always

loved Christmas.

You could call me

a Christmas enthusiast.

7 or 8 years ago I was working

on a small Christmas movie

that ran out of money.

So they paid me with

scenery and special effects.

Which was cool,

but then I thought

where the hell am I

going to put it all

when it's not Christmas?

And the rest is history?

Or hysteria, take your pick.

It's gorgeous.

And a little trippy.

But in a good way!

Over here, come on.

May I present:

Christmas under the Sea.

It is so romantic. And peaceful.

Unless you're the seasick type.

Which I'm not.

A friend of yours?

Oh yeah, that's

my second cousin, Ariel.

He loves the ladies, that one.

Little Romeo - did you teach him

everything he knows?

Just gave him the name.

Good answer.

So... how long have you

lived here for?

You said you inherited it?

From my grandparents,

those two right there.

It's so modern.

I had to gut the entire home:

Interior, exterior...

But I kept the original bones.

So now, it's modern

with a heritage spine.

What about your parents?

They didn't want the house?

I'm sure they would have,

but they died when I was a kid.

Long story, but I actually grew

up here.

With my grandparents.

Who were major Christmas fans,

and my inspiration

when I decided

to turn my home into a

Christmas extravaganza.

Extravagant it is.

Pop quiz,

Miss Cuckoo for Christmas:

who's your favorite

ornament maker?

Me?

I don't know, I would say

I'm kind of like

an equal opportunity

ornament fan.

Ah, I get it.

Wouldn't want to offend

any of Santa's helpers.

Exactly!

And here we have

"The Train Room".

All aboard?

It's amazing.

My grandpa was a big collector

who got me going on it.

And when I started doing

all this to my home,

the train set grew like crazy.

I'm always working on it,

it keeps me busy...

And out of trouble!

Sorry about that!

Hank, meet Sophia.

Sophia, Hank: my right hand man.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Sophia.

Sophia wants to make us

TV stars.

Will hasn't agreed to it yet.

Help me out, would you?

You guys, this looks so good.

It's going to look amazing

on TV.

Which I haven't agreed to, yet.

Sorry, I know.

I'm a producer,

the wheels are always turning.

Right.

Want to see it in action?

Yeah.

Check it out.

So good!

Hank seems nice.

He's the best.

He stays here sometimes

when the shelter's full.

And I hire him for odd jobs

here and there.

He's homeless?

Without a permanent home.

For now.

He had one, lost it.

Amongst other things.

We're working on it.

Will, your house is wonderful.

I would love for you and

your home to star in our show.

So what do you think?

I think...

How do I know you won't

make me look like an idiot?

You've just got to trust me,

I guess.

Yeah?

Yeah.

For what it's worth,

I'd like to mention that I was

a documentary film major

in college.

So I know how to get to

the truth.

Really?

So why reality TV?

I suppose real life

got in the way?

Something called paying

the bills came knocking.

Fair enough.

I'd also like to mention

that we are willing

to make a serious donation

to a charity of choice.

You're k*lling me.

I just...

I don't know.

Your house is unbelievable,

Will.

The way you do Christmas and

the legacy of your grandparents.

How great would it be to,

on screen,

show everybody

the beauty of that?

I just know that people

would flip over you,

and your home and your story.

And why you do it,

and how you do it.

Your house is one of a kind.

You're one of a kind.

I have to confer with

my business manager.

[whispering]

What do you think?

Okay.

Okay?

We'll do it.

Will, this is amazing!

Thank you!

You are not going

to regret this!

Who's the happy camper?

Oh, you'll find out...

Wow, what a beauty!

Imagine when it's all

decorated and lit up!

I bet the crowds are crazy.

Yes, but his crabby neighbor

hates those crowds.

He got an injunction,

so he's not allowed to start

decorating until Thanksgiving.

Nice neighbor.

So, plan accordingly, Linz.

I know the type.

He'll be the first to want a

location fee. Guaranteed.

Let's go!

The g*ng?

Yes. Will, this is Lindsey,

Kayla, and Aaron.

Our A-team of lights,

camera and...

- Action?

- Sound.

Action is good too, Will.

And this is Romeo, our

Extreme Holidays mascot.

Romeo, are you ready

for your close-up?

At least one of us is.

Let me know if you have

any questions, okay?

Yeah, I got one.

Got any idea what

a nightmare it is

to sh**t all this white

on white on white?

Sorry, I didn't design it

with TV in mind, dude.

Relax, Aaron.

I've seen you sh**t tougher.

All these projections could

be pretty tricky to light.

Thanks, Kayla.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just taking it all in.

Do you mind if they get

a lay of the land?

Check things out a bit?

Okay, that would be great.

Give us some more time.

Fan out everyone!

Just don't go in any rooms

that are being redone!

And watch out for wet paint!

It's okay.

Your beautiful house is in

good hands. I promise.

As are you.

I'm going to hold you to that.

I'm gonna go follow them.

You want to join?

Sure, after you.

Thanks a lot, Will.

We'll see you Monday morning.

Monday? Like four days

from today, Monday?

Didn't you say your hiatus

started in four days?

Yeah, but I've got a ton

of work to do on the house.

No worries, Will.

That's why the

crew is here to help.

No crew. Just me

and Hank only, please.

You know what?

Why don't you guys go?

I'm just going to grab an Uber

and chat with Will

about a few things.

Shotgun!

Fred!

What's all the hubbub, Saunders?

Reality TV show.

This is my producer, Sophia.

Sophia, meet Fred.

Hi!

Television, huh?

How much are you paying

for our inconvenience?

Don't worry, you'll be

compensated for your trouble.

The producer is going to

reach out to you shortly.

She better.

Put up with enough

as it is around here.

So... you want a drink?

Yeah, I could have some water.

I can facilitate that.

So, you should have

your contract by tomorrow.

Let me know if you have

any questions.

So I can still back out?

Seriously?

Listen: Christmas means

all the world to me.

Obviously, you can see.

And I do this to share it

with others.

But personally. One-on-one.

My way.

What's that supposed to mean?

Maybe I jumped into this

too quickly.

I do that sometimes.

Listen: this is going to

be hectic, inconvenient,

and a total disruption

of your nice, cozy life.

But you won't regret it.

I promise.

Umm... I've gotta go.

I should go.

All right...

I will see you later, I guess.

Looking forward to it.

Okay!

These people haven't given you

much time to get ready,

have they?

I'll never really be ready.

Don't ask me why I'm doing this.

Oh, I know why

you're doing this.

That obvious?

She's beautiful.

And smart, and persuasive.

The way I see it is if I can

help

promote the charities I

work with,

use the show for good,

then I guess it's worth it.

Maybe it's a good opportunity

to talk about the shelter.

That's a good idea, Hank.

I'll put that on the wish list.

Along with Sophia?

Oww!

Oh my gosh, it is perfect.

There he is!

Hi, I'm Paul Rivera.

I'm the executive producer

and creator of the show.

Hi!

AKA my boss, so you've

got to be nice to him.

I absolutely love what

you've done with the place.

It is wonderful.

Our only hope is that

we can do it justice.

And you, too, of course.

Why don't you come with me?

I'm going to give you

a rundown of the day.

Great, we'll see you in a bit.

Nice to see you again,

Miss producer.

It's nice to see you again, too.

Okay, so today is mostly just

going to be shots of the house,

bits and pieces of you

talking and explaining

and we're going to get

a shot of you

greeting us at the front door.

Does that sound good?

Yeah. I guess.

As the old saying goes:

if it doesn't work,

we'll just fix it in post.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Don't worry.

I figured you like

to make lists.

Here's mine: these are some

of the charities I work with.

I think it would be good to

put them in the interviews.

Got it.

Okay, while they're getting

set up,

let's get you in

hair and makeup.

Makeup?

No, I don't wear makeup.

On camera everyone wears makeup.

Is this our boy, Soph?

Yes Gia, this is Will.

Sit.

Smile. Look pretty.

Which shouldn't be

a problem for you.

Will, look,

I know a lot of guys don't

like the whole makeup idea,

but the point is

to make you look

like you don't

have on makeup on.

Let me get this straight,

you want to put makeup on me

so I look like I don't

have makeup on me?

That is why they call it

reality TV!

How we doing?

Good! Just getting

golden boy ready.

So, what do you think?

Dude, or dwarf?

What for?

For Will. To wear

in the opening shot.

We never discussed a costume...

Please hold still, Will.

I'm not wearing a costume.

What about the reindeer suit

you wore in that article?

That was a costume.

I was playing Rudolph

for the kids, for charity.

One time!

Well, now you'll be playing

Christmas dude.

Or dwarf.

Ta-dah! Adorable.

I don't want to look "adorable."

Okay, honey,

that ship has sailed.

She just means we love

the way you look already.

We do, but the audience

has a certain expectation.

Namely, holiday cheer.

So let's be cheery, shall we?

Take this. Thank you.

Did you know about this?

I had no idea.

Look, you told me that

sometimes you can be impulsive.

So... how about now?

That's the one.

Okay, Will.

Sophia is going to call action.

You're going to open the door

and say your first line.

Then you're going to step back,

open the door a little more

like you're inviting us

into your home,

and Aaron is going to do

a beautiful tracking shot

right inside.

Cool?

What's my line?

Oh sorry, it's...

Hi, I'm Will Saunders.

Welcome to my magical

Christmas wonderland!

Isn't that a little corny?

Christmas is corny.

Not to me.

Why don't we just drop

the "magical"

and stick with the rest?

Okay.

And...

Action!

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

Cut!

Let's go again, Will.

This time just

a little livelier.

Ready, and... action!

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

Again!

Okay that was a lot better,

Will.

We're just going to go

one more time. Good work.

And... action!

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

Cut!

Okay Will, This is television.

You need to pretend to be happy,

okay?

You're super excited

about your house

and you can't wait to

share it with the world.

But I'm not and

I look ridiculous.

Fake it, Will. It's TV.

How about we get rid

of the shirt?

We love the shirt.

Not all of us love the shirt.

Hugo? Can you please get

his shirt from the green room?

-On it!

Okay. Let's try that again.

Ready? And... action!

Hey, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

And cut!

That was perfect, Will!

Really?

Oh yeah.

Super.

So Will, first thing's first.

What do you think sets you apart

from other Christmas

enthusiasts?

I don't know, I guess

when it comes to Christmas,

I'm all in. 110%.

You could say 365%.

Very true. But I can't take

all the credit.

I had a lot of help

along the way.

Starting with my grandparents.

My grandma actually...

I'm sorry, grandparents?

Will, I'm curious.

You're a young, strapping lad.

You're single, you probably have

a very active dating life,

how do women react when you

bring them back here?

Women?

They like it, I guess,

but usually everyone does...

So you could say that this place

is kind of a chick magnet?

Chick magnet?

Yeah! They come and see

all the Christmas joy

and they're like, "Which way

to the sleigh bed?"

Am I right?

I'm sorry, what kind of

questions are these?

Fun ones!

Will come on, we love hearing

about your grandma

and all that stuff,

yadda, yadda, yadda.

It's great.

But look at you:

you're a fireman meets

GQ model meets superhero.

So, Christmas aside,

the folks are going to want

to hear a little dirt.

I think I need a break.

Yeah, of course.

Everyone take five!

Really?

What?

I thought it was a

legitimate question.

You asked where

the sleigh bed was.

I know that was

kind of weird, but...

Paul was just doing his job.

What are you two like

good cop and bad cop?

What? No!

Wait, I'm the good cop, right?

You tell me.

Look, we had a deal.

And it didn't include me

talking about my love life.

He was trying to loosen you up,

in his own way.

I'm sure none of it's going

to end up on the show.

Sophia, this is my life.

It's important to me.

I don't pretend to be perfect,

far from it.

But I try to stand for

a few good things.

And that comes across

loud and clear.

Look, just say

what you want to say.

Forget about the questions.

Don't listen to Paul.

It will slide off of him

like Teflon.

Just take a deep breath.

I know this is weird and new.

It sure feels nice.

I meant...

I know what you meant.

But it still feels nice.

Hey, maybe we could...

donate the leftover lunch food

to the shelter?

I could get Hank to pick it up.

Yeah. I'll have to ask Lindsey,

but I don't see why not.

Thanks, Sophia. That'd be great.

All right, are you ready to face

the big bad cameras again?

I only need you

for one more shot.

All right...

No one has ever asked

to donate leftovers

to any other place than

their own refrigerator.

This guy is sexy and saintly.

So we can do it then?

To keep our star happy? Sure.

Oh, no! I left him with Paul.

I really hope he's okay.

See? You don't have

to worry about Paul.

One thing I know about Paul:

he knows how to charm

the pants off of anyone.

I have a feeling those

particular pants

are going to be staying on.

Maybe for Paul...

What's that supposed to mean?

I've seen the way

he looks at you.

So what are you going

to do about it, sunshine?

I'm going to get this last shot.

And stay away from all

mistletoe at every cost.

Is that a professional decision

or that whole

"all hot dudes are heartbreakers"

thing you got going on?

Sweetie, not every guy you

like is gonna turn into Marco.

It is statistically and

physically impossible!

Thank you, have a good day!

You too, bye!

All right, let's go!

Up top, Will!

No?

Are you the fist bump type?

I'm good with that.

I know there were some hiccups,

but you actually

kind of rocked it.

You're welcome.

Is that what I'm

supposed to say?

I saw you chuckling with Paul.

You were making friendly.

That's a good sign.

There are only a few

fleeting pockets of horrible.

Better than I expected.

How's that?

I'm going to give

you some advice.

Have a beer, or six,

and a nice dinner,

and get a good sleep.

Want to join me on that?

Join you for dinner?

Actually, I can't.

As much as I kind of,

really want to.

I'll take "really kind of want

to" for the future.

Good night, Sophia.

Good night, Will.

[TV on in background]

[door knocking]

Hi.

- Will?

- Sophia!

What are you doing here?

How do you know where I live?

(A) I get nicer greetings

at the DMV.

(B) You told me

when we first met.

(C) Can I come in?

Yeah, sure...

I hope you like irises.

I do! They're beautiful.

From my front lawn.

But flowers all the same.

Very Van Gogh of you.

What are they for?

An apology. For being

such a grouch today.

A grouch?

I kinda was...

But I also needed an excuse

to come over here.

Right.

Thinking about the questions

Paul was asking today.

About me being a chick magnet.

And I just wanted

to clarify that

I am not some sort of player.

Thank you... I think.

It felt like Paul was kind of

trying to make me seem like one.

You know, for

television entertainment.

Maybe he just thinks

you're cute.

I like your place.

It's quirky, elegant.

Yeah? Even without gifts

hanging from the ceilings

and mermaid murals on the wall?

I can arrange that.

I know people.

Do you want to sit?

Yeah, just for a minute.

I'm doing this reality TV show

and these people show up

at the crack of dawn, so...

Sounds like it sucks.

Oh, it does...

But there's this

hot producer lady

who kind of makes it

all worthwhile.

Stop! I can't.

Okay.

This is really bad.

It's really bad for the show.

And for me professionally.

Okay.

No!

I can't, I can't...

What? You don't like

the way I kiss?

I do. I like the way

you kiss too much.

A lot. Which is why

you need to go.

Thank you for the flowers

and the kiss.

I will see you tomorrow.

You are one disciplined girl.

You will thank me later.

Thank you. Goodbye, Will.

[bouncy, upbeat music]

[bouncy, upbeat music]

Hey.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Morning.

- Yeah.

You sure I don't look silly

sitting in the middle like this?

You look great, I promise.

Okay, ready?

So Will, you've been collecting

this train set your entire life.

At what point did it become

a Christmas village?

When my house became

holiday central,

so did the trains.

It keeps the kid

alive in me, too.

Absolutely.

The kids that come through

on our fundraising tours,

this is their favorite stop.

Fundraising?

Why don't you tell us

a little about the charities

you work with?

Well, the first and key charity

I work with

is at the Union Hope Shelter.

That's downtown

at Third and Lucas.

Look at him go.

I guess there is

some personality

attached to those pecs.

Oh, there's definitely more

to Christmas Dude

than meets the eye.

Just takes the right energy

to bring it out of him.

Of course, on the other hand,

we don't want him to

get too comfortable.

Okay, great!

Let's go over here

and get some more stuff.

Okay.

Okay, so...

This room is really theatrical.

It's almost "The Little Mermaid"

meets "A Christmas Story."

Yeah, it was

really fun to design.

It's got kind of a

feminine vibe to it

for such a manly man

like yourself.

Wouldn't you say, Will?

Well, I just wanted a little

something for everyone.

What exactly was

the inspiration?

Truth?

Always.

I had this girlfriend,

and she loved mermaids.

I think she thought she

was one in a past life.

So the idea came from her.

Some people think mermaids

are kind of sexy.

Does this double as a fantasy

suite for you sometimes?

Well, any room can feel special

if you're in it with

the right person.

Wouldn't you agree, Paul?

Works for me.

No further questions,

your honor.

You gave it right back

to Paul in there.

I got some good advice

from a smart producer I know.

You should listen to her.

So a mermaid girlfriend?

It was ages ago...

water under the bridge.

I just wanted to toss

your nosy boss a bone.

Good job.

Come on, I want to

show you something.

Okay, so picture

all this stuff covering

the entire front of the

house and you get the idea.

Santa's workshop has

got nothing on you.

Who do you think he calls

for reinforcements?

Hey, I remember this.

This was what you were working

on the day of our walkthrough.

I was. It's a gingerbread house.

My mom and dad bought it for me

the Christmas before

they passed away.

Your last year with them?

It was.

Anyway, my grandpa and I added

a whole bunch of details

to it over the years.

Maybe we can do something

special with it on camera?

Absolutely we can.

Sophia!

Wait five minutes

and then come out.

Yoohoo! Soph!

That was... where were you?

Checking out the millions

of Christmas things.

Will had in the garage.

You would not believe

all the things

he has stashed away in there.

Crazy!

I cannot wait until

we get a shot

of him decorating the

house. It's going to be insane.

I really hope we scheduled

enough time for it.

Did we schedule enough time?

Why are you talking so fast?

- Am I?

- Yeah. You are.

It's just this really strong

coffee this morning.

Yeah! No matter how

much sugar I put in it...

In our next hour: this season's

hottest Christmas recipes.

You're watching KTLA.

Hey, Fred. Come to lend a hand?

Not on your life.

I better not see

any of these lights

shining before

they're supposed to!

You know what the

injunction says!

The lights will be up, not on.

It's just for some

quick filming.

And can I give you a little

piece of neighborly advice?

And what might that be?

How about this Christmas,

I don't know.

Enjoy yourself?

I had it made for you

to wear on the show.

Try it on and tell me

what you think.

I love it!

Oh!

How's it look?

Like a million bucks!

I think it's amazing.

Maybe we need to make it

a little tighter?

Put it in the dryer?

If you hot wash it,

we can dry it on your abs,

you know what I mean?

How are you today?

- Doing well, how are you?

- Hi, I'm Paul.

- Paul, nice to meet you.

- Pleasure.

So, how do you feel about

Will's Christmas extravaganza?

It's kind of crazy town

for my tastes.

He can decoare my bush anytime.

I can tell you one thing:

I wouldn't want to pay

his light bill. No way!

What do you think of Will's

majestic Christmas wonderland?

I hate the whole thing.

Oh, is that everything?

Yeah, that just about covers it.

Great, great. Did we get that?

Great, can we try it

one more time with a smile?

With a smile?

I hate the whole thing.

So, you happy?

Not unhappy.

Definite improvement.

I'll take it.

Are you heading

back to the office?

No. Home.

Wanna stick around?

Maybe.

You've gotta eat, right?

You cook, too?

Oh yeah. I cook.

No measuring cups or cookbooks.

I'm impressed.

I just wing it.

Usually works out.

Are you sure I can't help

with anything?

I'm sure.

All right, I'm on dishes then.

Be my guest.

So, other than the

mermaid wannabe,

are there any other serious

relationships in your past?

A few, for sure.

I was actually engaged

in college.

Really? Engaged.

That is serious.

Yeah, but we were young and

it would've been a disaster.

Hit and miss since then,

and lately it's just been

me and Romeo.

What about you? Anyone serious?

Yeah, but no one I wanted

to go the distance with.

The last relationship

was a disaster.

He was a cheating mess.

It kind of tainted relationships

and trust for me, so...

Want me to kick his a*s?

No, he was not worth the energy.

How did your parents die?

Sorry, was that

way too personal?

You don't have to

answer that question.

No. It's fine.

It was a car accident.

Drunk driver.

Sorry.

How old were you?

Eight.

Do you have any siblings?

Just me.

Any other family?

No.

That's sad.

What I've experienced

in my life,

it's all relative to what

you've experienced,

what Hank has experienced.

The kids from the

charities I work with,

what they're experiencing.

We only know what we know,

if we have nothing else

to compare it to.

Yeah, I suppose so.

My grandparents swooped me up,

moved me in here,

and raised me like champs.

I was always loved,

that's for sure.

Even though I was a pretty

challenging teenager.

Challenging how?

Fell in with a bad crowd.

Drugs, booze...

Really?

Oh yeah.

I was a shithead.

I even broke into a house once.

I hit rock bottom when

I was in my late teens.

Grandparents kicked me out.

Went from one

friend's couch to the next.

Spent a few nights

on the street.

Long story short: it was

definitely an eye opener.

I was lucky my grandparents

took me back.

Yeah.

Worst I ever did was get

a week's detention.

And I swear, it wasn't my fault!

I'm sure it wasn't.

[oven beeps]

You were lucky to have them -

your grandparents.

I honestly don't know where

I would have ended up

without them.

So I try to help others

the way they helped me.

Pay it forward, you know?

And keeping the meaning

of Christmas alive every day

just ties it all together.

That's beautiful, Will.

I wonder what your

grandparents would think

about everything

that's going on here now?

Are you kidding? They'd love it.

They were the happiest,

chattiest pair you've ever seen.

How about your parents?

Not the happiest, chattiest

pair you've ever met.

They were divorced when I was

in third grade, so...

Will, I have a confession

to make.

Should I be sitting down?

No, it's just...

I am not cuckoo for Christmas.

I just said it so you

would do the show

and so that you'd like me.

I have something

to confess, too.

I already knew.

Any true Christmas nut

could've immediately named

their favorite ornament maker.

You went generic.

But it's okay, really.

I won't hold it against you.

Well, thank you.

Although I'm not sure

that I deserve that.

My parents.

Every year they would argue over

who got me at Christmas time.

It was a big competition:

who had the bigger house,

better gifts, fancier vacation,

and it made me dread

Christmas every year.

I still do.

Maybe this year

will be different.

Maybe it will.

Who knew he'd look

so good on a ladder?

Wait! We shouldn't

be letting him do that!

Yeah, it's not really

the best time for our star

to end up in a full body cast.

This is going to be gold.

It'll cut together great!

Plus we are insured up

the wazoo, so...

He's smiley today.

Maybe our boy got

a little lucky last night.

Why do you say that?

That glow, it ain't from

the Christmas lights.

I'll tell you one thing:

he loves that t-shirt.

And we love him in it.

Nice job, Sophia.

[gasping]

How's that? Did you

get what you want?

That was scary.

That was hilarious, and our

cameras caught every second.

Great job, Will,

that was perfect!

He could've k*lled himself!

Sophia, come on! We need a

little excitement, some action.

Yeah, that you can manipulate.

Don't try this at home, kids.

Will, let's go again.

What is it? What is wrong?

You know what?

I don't trust Paul.

I understand that we're

making television here,

but there are

real lives at stake.

Okay, I'm just gonna

take a stab here:

this isn't about Paul, is it?

It's about you and Will.

What about me and Will?

I asked you first.

Oh my god, you slept with him!

Shhh!

Why didn't you say something?

This is... fantastic!

When was it? How was it?

It was last night and

it was off the charts.

I'm in it really

deep here, Linz.

Okay yeah, I mean,

maybe this isn't the beset

career move for you

at this very second, but you'd

have to be made of cement

not to respond to Will.

That doesn't make it right.

Look, you deserve to be happy.

Just be careful, don't

let it affect the work.

And... enjoy the sh*t out of it.

Not a peep!

You got it, sister.

Give us the countdown, man.

Three, two, one...

Merry Christmas!

Hey!

Leaving without a goodbye?

Goodbyes with you

get me in trouble.

You won't stay?

I can't stay.

I understand.

I was thinking, if you want,

I could help you pick out a

Christmas tree this weekend.

Like a date?

Call it work.

Alright.

My grandpa and I used to

go out after Thanksgiving

and chop down our own tree.

My biggest thrill was

when I was old enough

to do the chopping myself.

Just a boy and his axe.

Until I discovered girls.

Lucky us.

So, how do I know

which one to pick?

Which looks best to you?

I kind of like that one.

Noble fir.

Good, traditional choice.

How tall?

About your height's perfect.

You like the shape?

Oh, yeah. So symmetrical.

Okay, now you have

to check the branches

and make sure they're

soft and pliable

and not brittle in any way.

There's nothing brittle

about this one.

Do you always travel

with 100 spare ornaments?

I just figured,

given your humbug history,

you'd be a little light

in the ornament department.

You figured right.

Thank you.

I grabbed one of my favorites.

A movie theater!

This reminds me of

It's a Wonderful Life.

My favorite Christmas movie.

So she does like Christmas!

I never said I didn't

like Christmas.

Just aspects of it.

Pick a place of honor

for the movie house.

Perfect.

Come here.

I'm falling, Sophia.

I'm falling for you.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Has anyone ever told you

how beautiful you are?

Can't say anyone has told me

I'm beautiful before.

No.

Romeo - is Romeo home alone?

He's with Hank.

Can I say that I love that

you think about my dog?

I think about you.

And how lucky I am.

That you found me?

Well, technically

Paul found you.

I just... followed up.

Remind me to thank him.

How about after the show airs,

okay?

Got it.

Hey, wanna maybe go for a hike

or something this morning?

I can grab Romeo,

we can hit up Griffith Park?

I'm still thinking low profile

is the way to go.

Or we could just stay in...

That could definitely have

its definite advantages.

And here we have Frosty,

and his little brother, Norman.

Frosty is a more appropriate

Christmas name,

but Norman's

still... he's nice.

Here you go, hold

these edges down.

Our man's certainly got

charisma, no question.

Once we opened him up.

Or should I say once you did.

Me, you, the crew... teamwork!

Mmm-hmm.

We still need some more

drama, conflict.

Chaos.

Chaos?

We have one more day

of sh**ting.

See what you can get.

I don't want it to have

to be manufactured.

Like this... snow.

Everything you see here

has a history,

a meaning, a purpose.

So how long have you been

collecting all this stuff?

I'm 33 years old so... 33 years.

Since you were a baby?

Well, maybe not that far back.

But my first words were,

"Santa Claus."

Why don't you tell us about

this gingerbread house?

My parents gave me this

incredible gingerbread house

for Christmas when I was a kid.

I was too young then to know

how to put it together,

so my dad and grandpa

showed me how.

And every Christmas since,

I've assembled it.

Last few years,

Hank has lent me a hand.

Push in a little bit.

Kayla, your boom

is in the shot again.

-I'm not in the shot!

I'm looking through the frame!

Kayla, just back up.

Well, I can't really back up...

Kayla, just put your boom up.

Okay, I guess I'm getting

up then...

[crashing]

Okay... no worries,

it's all good.

No one got hurt.

The house can be fixed.

Kayla, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just, the house...

It's fine.

Cut.

Is everything okay?

Yup.

How's the house?

Getting fixed.

Kayla feels so bad. We all do.

If I wouldn't have told her

to back up,

none of this would

have happened.

I'm so, so sorry.

Sorry about what?

I just told you: your house.

How about being sorry

you kept rolling?

Why didn't you stop the filming

the second you saw

what happened?

Listen, I gotta fix this.

I'll see you inside.

So, do you need a ride home?

Don't you live in the

opposite direction?

Yeah, but I can give you

a ride there

if you need one, obviously.

I guess I can put up

with you for a little longer.

He's in the garage.

I should have stopped

rolling immediately.

That's not what Paul would say.

Yeah, well Paul isn't secretly

involved with our lead.

[text message alert]

- sh*t.

- What?

Oh my God.

That's good,

but that's not good.

That's bad for the show.

Who you're with is

really none of his

or anyone else's business.

That's just it,

it is his business.

And it just looks bad.

I mean, I know it wasn't exactly

the smartest choice to make,

but...

I made a choice.

Are you sorry you did?

No.

Are you sorry you decided

to do the show?

A little.

But then I wouldn't

have met you...

Unless of course

we're breaking up?

No. I'm an excellent

multi-tasker.

You are.

But I have a show to produce.

I have to stay focused,

there is a lot riding on it.

Like my career.

Sophia Worthy...

You are one of the

most determined, capable,

inspiring people

I've ever known.

You can do it all. I know it.

That's one of the sweetest

things anyone's ever said to me.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

I'm sorry I got so intense

about the gingerbread house.

It meant a lot to you.

It's a big part of your past.

Yeah, but it's a decoration.

You were just doing your job.

I should have stopped rolling.

And I knew the history

of the house,

and if it's broken...

I'll fix it.

That's what I do.

[Paul] There you are.

I want you to call

to this person.

Who's Helena Miller?

She's a shrink. She's great.

Paul, I know I've got issues,

but I don't need a shrink.

Not for you, for the show.

She's great. I want you

to set up a sitdown with her.

Get her to talk about Christmas,

how it messes with people,

gets in their head,

makes them go nuts.

And by people, I'm

assuming you mean Will?

Sophia, we still need

more dimension.

Unless you're scared you're

going to find out something

you don't want to know.

I call the holidays

my tax season.

It's my busiest time.

Why is that?

Why do you think the holidays

are such a difficult time

for people?

Christmas time is kind of

a perfect emotional storm.

Another year is gone.

What have I accomplished?

Who do I have to celebrate with?

Why does everybody

seem so happy but me?

And then there are the childhood

triggers that pop up.

They can really derail you.

Of course.

So for example,

say if someone wanted

to celebrate Christmas

every day of the year.

What do you think is

the deeper meaning there?

Two words: disfunction junction.

Thank you. Done.

That was great.

Sophia, this is so wrong.

I know, it wasn't my idea.

[Will] How is the show

looking so far?

We have a lot of great footage.

You are looking like

a major star.

Everyone loves Christmas,

so what can go wrong?

Even I'm getting into it.

Yeah?

[text message alert]

Anything important?

My buddy CJ saw a promo

for the show.

He texted it to me.

A promo?

You're kidding, I

didn't know we had one.

Wait... maybe I

should watch it first?

Why? Are you

afraid of something?

No, I just...

Okay fine, let's watch it.

Buckle up this Christmas as

Bravada Television presents.

"Extreme Holidays" with an eye-

opening look at one sexy stud

who celebrates yuletide 365

crazy days a year!"

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland!

It's kind of crazy town

for my tastes.

But my kids love it, so

what're you gonna do?

I wouldn't want to pay

his light bill.

I hate the whole thing.

Uh...

It's snowing!

Two words: disfunction junction.

You've never seen a guy so

hopelessly devoted in your life!

Catch the series premier,

Christmas Eve!

I don't know, maybe I'm nuts...

Can I do that again?

What the hell was that?

So you knew about this?

Well, I knew they

were cutting promos.

I didn't know when

they were airing.

Well, they have to pull it.

That's not happening.

It has to!

Not only does it

misrepresent Will,

but it misrepresents the show!

Okay Sophia, calm down!

[groans]

The network got ahold of me

late last night.

The new promos

tested through the roof.

The network immediately

slapped them online, on air...

But it's not the show

we're making!

Well I hate to tell you,

but it is.

At least it's the tone

they want.

What about what we want?

We want our deal renewed.

What if I disagree?

Well, you could quit

and have absolutely no say

in the direction we take.

Or you can stay and cut

a great show.

One that Bravada will

really, really love.

So you're letting them

make me look

like a complete idiot

on national TV.

The one thing I was

worried about from the start.

I'm going to be there

every step of the way

and make sure that

the show looks

as good as it possibly can.

Within my power.

This was such a mistake.

I never should have said yes.

Why did you then?

The truth?

Because of you.

I believed you saw something

in me that maybe I didn't.

So when you told me

to trust you, I did.

I also feel kind of used.

Used? By who?

By Paul. And by you.

I know how you feel - I do.

I was blindsided too.

I really don't want this

to come between us.

It already has.

There you go.

I knew it was too good

to be true.

You can't be that

surprised by it.

I can't?

He was a little prickly.

Very much his own man,

which is not necessarily

a bad thing,

but there were some red flags

flying amid that

first-rate hunkiness.

There were? What red flags?

Well, he's Christmas crazy.

That's unusual.

He's creative and nostalgic.

Not crazy, don't call him that.

You know what I mean.

I don't know, Linz.

He's honestly

all-around perfect.

It's just your judgment got

a little clouded, that's all.

I have never felt this way.

Ever.

Guys like Will don't

come around every day.

Good thing, because how could

we keep up with them all?

Will told me that he thought

that I saw things in him

that he hadn't seen in himself.

Honestly, it was

the other way around.

And I was starting

to love him for it.

At least I thought I was.

Men...

Men.

Set it down over there.

Still haven't fixed that yet?

Roof's busted.

Long as I've known you, Will,

you've never been a quitter.

Some things are just

broken beyond repair.

You talking about the house,

or Sophia?

What are we if we can't be

trusted to do the right thing?

People make mistakes, Will.

It doesn't mean they can't learn

from them, can't change.

Yvette and I might

still be together

if I had just made

some different choices.

I might know my kids,

my grand kids.

Just don't be like me, Will.

Don't have regrets.

Come on - let's fix this old

gingerbread house already.

You know what?

Just give me a sec.

Need some help?

Damn gophers...

One of these days they're going

to eat the whole damn mailbox.

Maybe you could get an

injunction against them?

Really is quite the deal

you put on there.

I don't think I quite

realized that

until that whole TV show

came along.

Gotta love those cameras, right?

I, uh...

I gave them an interview,

you know.

I saw. Nice work, very quotable.

Ginny always talked about

how great it was on the inside.

I've been missing her a lot

this last little while.

Feel like a quick tour?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Don't worry, it will stay there.

I don't always succeed,

but that's what I try to do.

So, how's it going?

Good, just trying to decide

what to use from this clip.

Oh, is this when he waxes poetic

about peace on earth

and good will hunting,

or whatever?

Can we please use as little

of this as possible?

Yeah, it's only his entire

philosophy and reason for being.

I get it: laughs, gaffes,

and thrills.

I'm on it, Paul.

Look, I know I've been

hard on you.

But it's because I really

want you to succeed.

You have real ability, and

I want everyone to see it.

Okay?

So, you going to bring Superman

to the Christmas party?

That would be a little hard

right now.

We're not exactly speaking.

Oh.

Is that because of the show?

The show. Expectations.

Trust issues.

And don't date the talent:

you were right.

Well, I had to learn

that one the hard way.

But then I married the guy,

so...

It's not always a trainwreck.

[hammering]

- Sophia...

- Will!

I was just...

getting a latte.

Medium nonfat, half-caf,

no foam...

teaspoon of agave.

Good memory.

- So how've you been?

- How've you been?

How's Romeo?

Excited to see you.

Yeah, I miss him too.

The show is looking really good.

Paul was asking me if you

would do publicity for it,

but I assumed it was a fat "no."

Whatever the opposite

of publicity is,

that's what I'll be doing.

I fixed the gingerbread house.

Looks almost good as new.

That's really good.

Well...

Merry Christmas, Sophia.

You too, Will.

Bye Romeo.

Hey.

I just downloaded some extra

B-roll

that must have got

lost in the shuffle.

You should check it out.

Okay. Thanks, I will.

File's named "New."

[Hank] You know, Will he's like,

he's this tall, good looking

young man.

You wouldn't expect it,

but he's got a heart of gold.

And uh, I just love the guy.

And uh, I just love the guy.

It was probably my favorite

Christmas present of all time.

High five!

Hey, I got your text, what's up?

Bravada moved up the viewing

meeting. It's in two hours.

Two hours? No, it's not

for two days!

Bentley has to

leave town tonight,

wants to see a cut

in person, with us.

No, it's nowhere close

to being ready...

It's not like they haven't

seen footage already.

They cut promos, remember?

They're expecting rough.

How rough is it?

I mean it's long, but watchable.

Fine, just wrap it up.

Paul, I've been meaning to...

I don't have time.

I need to crunch numbers with

Lindsey before the meeting.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

Our goal is to launch with

a subject and a situation

so unique and strange,

yet relatable,

that it will set the bar

for an entire year of

extreme holiday madness.

At the same time, we've

tried to split the difference

between sentiment

and sensationalism.

Entertaining, but authentic.

And I think you'll agree that

we have found a major star

in Will Saunders.

Let's see what you've got.

Of course.

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

Hi, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

Welcome to my

Christmas wonderland!

This shirt sucks.

Hey, I'm Will Saunders

and welcome to my

Christmas wonderland.

You sure I don't look silly?

I love that.

How's it look?

It's kind of crazy town

for my tastes.

But my kids love it, so

what're you going to do?

I wouldn't want to pay

his light bill!

I hate the whole thing.

Will is like this tall,

good looking young man.

You wouldn't expect it,

but he's got a heart of gold

and I just love the guy.

[Will] Imagine if we could

keep the spirit of Christmas,

with all its joy and generosity

and good will

alive all year round.

Think how much better off

we'd be?

I don't always succeed,

but it's what I try to do.

Wow.

That really wasn't like the

promos we cut, now was it?

Jayla, let me explain...

Actually, Sophia,

why don't you explain?

Well...

You know, that won't

be necessary.

I know what I expected,

I know what I saw,

and I know how I feel.

I loved it.

Yeah, those promos

that we cut drew eyeballs,

but now it is clear that

we can't have sustain

that broad of a tone

for a whole show.

Paul, you and your team found

the sweet spot in the story.

You made it engaging and vivid,

without sacrificing the charge

of reality TV.

Heck, you almost kind

of redefined the genre.

And just in time for Christmas.

Well done, people.

Congratulations.

We are thrilled that

you enjoyed the...

I've got a plane to catch!

And Sophia?

Thank Will for me, would you?

It is clear that you really

brought out the best in him.

Well, that was a surprise.

All the way around.

I tried to warn you

before we went in...

It's a good thing you didn't.

I probably would

have freaked out.

Actually, I still might.

I was just trying to do

the right thing for everyone.

Including you.

And Will.

Not really. He doesn't

care anymore.

You know what? His loss.

Anyway, once we get

picture lock,

we have to jump

on Valentine's Day.

Now, I have got a couple

of romance freaks,

but I want to know

what you think.

I think...

I quit.

Great, quit what?

My job.

Excuse me?

I realized in there that this

isn't the place for me.

I don't want to sneak around

behind my boss's back

to do what I think is right.

What are you talking about?

I somehow thought

that I could take

my love of documentary film

and bring it to reality TV.

And that was very wrong.

What happened in there

was a one-off.

I got lucky, and I know that.

We're going to go right back

to chasing ratings.

Which is fine for some people,

just not for me.

I'm sorry, did Will

put you up to this?

Hardly. If anything, it was you.

You're a sharp,

talented guy, Paul.

But your eye is on the prize,

not the passion.

Don't worry, I'm going to help

you deliver the show on Friday.

And if you're thinking about

replacing me, consider Lindsey.

She's the best.

Merry Christmas, Paul.

What does Christmas

have to do with it?

[door knocking]

[Sophia] Dear Will,

I hate the idea that

your last thoughts of me

are such disappointing ones.

As I got to know the man

you truly are,

my respect and my feeling

for you grew and took shape

in ways that, honestly,

surprised me.

Now my greatest wish

is that I can be a person

you'd respect

with equal measure.

Even if I never see you again,

I want to be a woman

who deserves an amazing man

like you.

Thank you for being that man.

Love, Sophia.

Welcome to my

Christmas wonderland!

This shirt sucks.

I wouldn't want to pay

his light bill!

I hate the whole thing.

Will is like this tall,

good looking young man.

You wouldn't expect it,

but he's got a heart of gold.

I just love the guy.

Hi.

I was in the neighborhood,

thought I'd drop by.

With irises?

Yup.

So, did you watch the show?

I did.

And?

It wasn't half as bad

as I expected.

Oh, hold off on the praise,

okay?

I'm saying I got what

you were going for.

You tried to keep it real,

make me seem okay,

but give the audience enough

of that dopey stuff

they'd need to keep watching.

And I know it wasn't what

you were told to do,

but you did it anyway.

I know you did that for me.

I didn't do it for you,

I did it because of you.

Because of who you showed

the cameras you were.

I didn't go to film school

for nothing!

And you didn't get in trouble?

The network flipped over it.

Paul folded like a deck chair.

They're already onto

Valentine's Day.

So that must make you

Super Real's new golden girl.

Oh, it totally did.

I'm happy for you, Sophia.

But I quit.

You quit?

What do you mean, you quit?

I want to get excited

about what I do.

I want solve problems with

my art, not make them.

Are you sure you know

what you're doing?

I have no idea what I'm doing.

But I am sure about one thing.

Oh yeah? What's that?

That I really miss you.

And I hope you know that,

no matter what,

you can trust me again.

I do.

I understand now what

you were up against,

how much was truly

out of your control.

What happened wasn't

intentional, or personal.

Until it was personal.

Yeah, I think I remember those.

They were pretty good,

weren't they?

They were okay.

Only okay?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking...

About you, and me.

Without all that noise

from the show between us.

I like that thought.

If you'll have me, Sophia,

I'm yours.

365 days a year.

It's so easy to forget

The true meaning of Christmas

We get wrapped up with gifts

beneath the tree

Though I desire

so much more

There's so much

to be grateful for

I finally took the time

to reflect

In the night on Christmas Eve

Before I close

my eyes to sleep

I'm down here praying

on my knees

For love to win instead of hate

To keep the ones I love safe

Let the hopeless

know somebody cares

To help the weak stand again

Give the lost a helping hand

And heal the sick

This is my Christmas prayer

I'm here asking you

Because this is more

than I can do

You're the giver of all hope

Make it recur

Through the dark,

we'll shine our light

With your love

all hearts unite

Carrying your

peace everywhere

Help the weak stand again

Give the lost a helping hand

Heal the sick

This is my Christmas prayer

This is my Christmas prayer
