[Maggie] Aah! (clapping)

She's here.

(Keith laughs)

Maggie, I'm so happy to see
your face!

I missed you so much!

I missed you so much.

I'm so glad your home!

I know, I couldn't
miss another Christmas.

Not to interrupt this
sweet sister moment, but--

Oh, okay, Keith, I missed you
too.

Merry Christmas.

I hope you're hungry.

[Harper] I'm starving.

Oh, I got your bag.

- Oh, thank you.
- Sure.

[Harper] Oh my god!

How are the girls?

[Maggie] They are so excited
to see you.

[Harper] I brought them a
gift.

children ♪

♪ That makes everything right ♪

♪ Fill your hearts with
Christmas cheer ♪

I cannot believe you did all
this!

I mean, I can, but you
definitely didn't have to.

You've been gone for three
years.

Pot roast is the least we could
do.

Aw, it looks amazing!

- I did the potatoes!
- Did you?

I peeled the carrots!

A house full of chefs.

Not me, I'm all dishwasher.

Which we will definitely need

when your parents get here.

This house is gonna get
real cozy, real fast.

Yeah.

All right, I think we're
ready.

Cheers!

- Cheers!
- So much.

- We missed you.
- I missed you guys!

Budapest at Christmas is
amazing.

Mm.

Someday, I wanna travel all
over Europe,

just like you, Aunt Harper.

Sounds like so much fun.

How many countries did you
visit?

I visited seventeen, but
I worked in eight, no, nine.

All in museums?

Yes, I started out as a tour
guide,

and I worked my way up
to assistant curator.

And took every possible
museum job in between.

Yeah, I mean, I met
some interesting people

that had great projects,

so I was lucky to help out.

My mom always says
you're too nice to say no.

Please, freshman
year, A Christmas Carol.

Set designs, costumes, props.

Oh, and she sang in chorus.

She never slept.

So, I'm a multitasker,

but now I actually am trying to
just focus

all of my energy on one job.

Your aunt's got a big
interview tomorrow

at the Brooks Museum.

[Petra] So you'd live here in
Memphis?

Well, I would be their
international curator,

so I will be based in Europe.

But I would be home more
often if I get the job.

But what if you don't?

Petra.

No, it's true.

That's a good question.

It's a long shot.

Um, I don't know.

I'd just see where the job takes
me.

But enough about all that.

I wanna talk about all the fun
stuff

we're doing for Christmas.

Starting with this little thing.

- Is that for us?
- What is it?

(gasps)

It's a snow globe, it's
London!

And it's sh**ting stars!

Thanks so much, Aunt Harper!

[Petra] I love it.

And speaking of Christmas,

the top of my to-do list, of
course,

is seeing Christmas lights at
Graceland.

When can we go, tomorrow after
school?

[Petra] Please.

Fine by me.

[Keith] It's okay with me.

Yes!

(cheerful holiday music)

[Taylor] Dad, is there any
more yogurt?

Okay, our big fundraiser's
coming up,

and let's say you have a
perspective donor on the phone,

what's your pitch?

We've written some clever
algorithms

for a database to better
connect patients with doctors

that we're giving away to
hospitals for a low, low price.

For free, Davis, for free.

Fine, for free.

Hospitals can then digitize
their patient records,

in order to create a searchable,

multi-user diagnostic data bank.

I created this with you,
and even I'm falling asleep.

Okay, let's hear your
pitch, Mr. Almighty Salesman.

Something like this.

There's an ocean of information
out there,

and we're giving hospitals a map

to navigate between the islands.

Okay, needs work, but I get
the point.

I still don't like the giving
it away for free part, though.

It's a lot better than selling
it

to help predict shopping trends,
right?

Yeah, if we can pull it off.

Correction, if you can pull it
off.

You're the charming face of our
company.

I'm just your tech genius.

Oh, and a humble one at that.

Dad, you put turkey

in my peanut butter and
jelly sandwich again.

Sorry.

Okay, I'm ready.

Ready?

Where are your shoes?

You were supposed to have
them on three minutes ago.

I've got socks.

Nice try, go now.

Tick tock!

You can't go to school
without a jacket today.

Why not?

It's not even snowing.

But it's still gonna be cold.

Yeah, and you still need to
figure out

your Christmas project for art
class.

You said you'd help me.

Oh buddy, I didn't
put it in the schedule.

I'm so sorry.

It's in there now, okay?

And your sister's right,
you need a jacket.

You don't wanna be late for
school.

Uh, are you still there?

Oh, Davis!

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

You seem a little distracted.

Where's your nanny?

Vicki went home for the
holidays,

and our backup fell through.

We're on our own.

You plus three kids, no help?

Owen, the fundraiser is
less than two weeks away.

Don't worry, I got it under
control.

Listen, I gotta get
these kids out the door.

We'll see you soon.

Good luck.

Thanks.

All right g*ng, coats on.

We're leaving in 60 seconds!

(Owen sighs)

- No, it's mine, stop!
- Put it down!

[Adelaide] Dad said it was
mine!

(gentle holiday music)

So University of Memphis with
a masters,

and then advertising?

I know, not the most
traditional start.

But the truth is there really
weren't any jobs out there

for art history grads.

But I quickly realized that
art truly is my passion,

so I went to Europe,

and I took every museum job I
could find.

Yeah, London, Munich,
Barcelona.

You have worked at a lot of
galleries.

But curator?

That's a big step up.

You know, most of our
candidates have their doctorate.

I can't compete with
that level of academia.

But for me, it's always been
about

giving the visitors a
memorable experience.

And whether that was at
Graceland,

where I gave tours all
throughout high school,

or at the Mission Gallery in
Wales,

where I co-curated an exhibit
last year,

I think that art should touch
us emotionally, you know.

You know the job is based in
London,

so you wouldn't be here very
much.

Well, I am used to
living out of a suitcase.

Well, great.

Well, thanks for coming in.

You're definitely one of our
more interesting candidates.

Well, I hope that's a good
thing.

Well if it is, you'll be
hearing from our director

for a second interview soon.

Okay.

We're hoping to fill the
position

before the end of the year.

Good luck.

Thank you, and thank
you for meeting with me.

It's been awesome.

Have a great day.

I will, you too.

Thank you.

(curious music)

[Girls] Bye, love you!

Bye, love you guys.

Have fun at Graceland.

Don't slip on the ice!

Hey, girls!

Thank you so much for doing
this.

Bye.

Love you guys.

(twinkling instrumental music)

Okay girls, I want you
to tell me the first thing

that catches your eye.

Wait, but don't look yet, don't
look yet.

You know we come here every
year, right?

I know, but like art,

every time you come to
Graceland at Christmas,

you see something new, something
magical,

even if it's been there all
along.

Okay, so I want you to
tell me what you see

on the count of three.

One, two, three!

Okay, what do you see?

I see one of the best
tour guides we ever had.

Regina, I was hoping I'd run
into you!

When did you get home?

[Harper] Just a couple days
ago.

So lovely to see you, Miss
Presley.

Aw, you too.

Girls, this is Regina.

She was actually my boss

when I was a tour guide
here in high school.

And this, of course, is
Miss Priscilla Presley.

Hi girls, welcome to
Graceland.

Hi.

Hello.

Are these your children?

No, no, no, they're my nieces,
actually.

Oh, adorable.

And how have you been?

I just got back from Europe
where I was traveling around

and working at different
museums.

All right, you know, she
might wanna go see the exhibit

that you're working on.

That's exactly what I was
thinking.

It's an Elvis at Christmas
exhibit over at the museum,

just something special for
our employees and fans.

I'd love to show it to you.

Oh yeah, of course, I'd love
to.

Well, I'm gonna have to run.

It was lovely to meet you.

And Harper, welcome home.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

- Bye, Miss Priscilla.
- Merry Christmas.

[Both] Merry Christmas.

[Priscilla] Bye, thank you.

Isn't she the sweetest?

Hey Anna, you wanna go see the
lions?

Yes, they're so cute and
fuzzy.

[Petra] Come on.

[Regina] It's good to see you.

I'm so glad to see you.

So Europe?

It was amazing.

So how long are you in town?

Well, it may not be for very
long.

I just interviewed with the
Brooks Museum

to be their international
curator.

That sounds exciting.

I know, I'm so excited.

Well, I, I'm not excited.

It's k*lling me, I have
to wait about a week.

I don't want to jinx it,
but I'm horrible at waiting.

Well, if you want to
start giving tours again

while you're here?

Sure, yeah, I'll start today.

Speaking of tours, I'm meeting
a client

who wanted to give his
kids a private tour,

and we are completely booked,

so I've gotta go figure out
a way to squeeze him in.

Just have him join us.

Oh no, you don't have to do
that.

Honestly, Regina, I don't mind
at all.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

You're a saint, always.

Oh, that's them right there.

Okay kids, I will be back
before the tour is over.

And unless, of course,
you wanna come with me?

And stay in a conference
room all day, no thanks

Well, I was just thinking that
maybe--

- We'll be okay dad.
- Okay.

Owen Read, this is Harper
Ellis.

Longtime friend and tour
guide extraordinaire.

Hi, um, it's nice to meet you,
Owen.

You too, uh, this is my
family.

Adelaide, Millie, and Taylor.

Hi, and this is Petra and
Anna.

[Both Girls] Hi.

Harper will be giving your
kids a tour of Graceland today.

Well, thanks in advance.

Yeah, kids are kinda my
specialty,

so I'll meet you back here by
the lions

in about an hour or so.

Yeah, in an hour, got it.

Okay, this is where you have
fun.

Hi.

Okay, let's get started.

Who can tell me Elvis's
first Christmas song?

No one, really?

Come on, do not make me
break out my choir skills,

'cause I will.

Why do you look so scared?

Come on, let's go inside.

(cheerful holiday music)

And then how many work
parties have I planned

for you at Graceland?

Four, all amazing,
but never a fundraiser.

Okay, true.

So what's the tone?

What are you working for?

I wanna inspire people.

I want people to feel good about

what we're doing at the company.

Nice, I like that.

So what are you thinking?

I'm thinking silver and
gold in a ballroom setting.

Posh, but not pretentious.

Stylish, not stuffy, okay
good.

- Yeah.
- Decor?

Huge decorative presents
for the spirit of giving.

How about nutcrackers as the
centerpieces?

Sleigh with reindeer.

'Tis the season.

How about music?

I like classical.

Okay, classy.

I gotta lot of giving, perfect.

(gentle instrumental music)

So you're going from
here to a Christmas play

to a work dinner?

Busy time of year.

And you're doing that all
without help?

Well, I thought I had a
backup, but then she called--

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas
♪

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas
♪

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas
♪

♪ And a Happy New Year ♪

That was amazing.

Do you guys have a manger?

I need to make money.

(kids laughing)

Well I guess that, that wraps it
up.

[Kids] Aw!

Well, it sounds like
you had a great time.

How was it?

- It was awesome!
- Amazing.

Fabulous, it was so much fun!

Well, it seems like you really
are

the tour guide extraordinaire.

Oh, I'm not an actual tour
guide.

You're not?

Well, she used to be, but--

I was, yeah.

(Regina laughs)

Oh, you're the nanny?

Overture, no, not the nanny.

Okay, now I'm really confused.

Art is more my field, I work
in museums.

But right now, I'm just
chilling with my nieces.

Literally.

(laughing)

Well, you know, you guys
could help each other out.

With what?

Well, you're here for a few
weeks,

waiting to hear about the job in
London.

London?

And your au pair is out for
the holiday.

And you've got these three
little kids, you need help.

Oh, I see where you're going
with this.

Uh-huh.

We have a guest house you
could stay in.

You'd make an awesome
nanny, Aunt Harper.

Okay, Petra, slow down.

Are you trying to get rid of me?

(girls laughing)

I'll tell you what.

Look, here's my card.

Uh, no pressure, but
we could use the help.

[Harper] Oh, okay.

Give me a call if you want.

I will do that.

Okay, say thank you for the
tour.

- Bye guys, Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.

Merry Christmas, bye.

Merry Christmas.

- Regina, we'll talk more.
- Sounds good.

[Both Girls] First to the car,
jinx!

I don't know how he does it
all.

Is he a single parent?

Yeah, lost his wife three
years ago.

Oh, that's so sad.

Christmases must be especially
tough.

Okay, I wanna hear all about
London.

Did you get to see Regent Street

with all the Christmas lights?

[Harper] Of course.

(dogs barking)
(girls laughing)

I don't think Francis was a
reindeer.

He might've been.

Yeah, I mean after
Rudolph retired, right?

All right girls, time for bed.

[Millie] Five more minutes?

Not tonight, Winter Express
is leaving the station.

Say goodnight to your Aunt
Harper.

[Both Girls] Goodnight, Aunt
Harper.

Love you, good game.

(imitating train whistle)

[Maggie] See you all upstairs.

They're so smart, Yuletide.

Hope that was worth some
points.

[Harper] Oh, it was.

So I have a little favor to
ask.

What?

Keith's parents are coming
into town a week early.

Like tomorrow early.

Oh wow, great.

Yeah.

So usually Keith's parents
sleep in Petra's room,

and then the girls bunk in
Anna's room.

I hate to even ask you this,

but do you mind sleeping on the
couch?

No, I don't mind at all,
really.

I'm the one overcrowding the
place.

Don't be silly, you're the
best.

I know.

I'm gonna go say goodnight to
the girls.

Okay, I'll see you in a
minute.

Hm.

(curious music)

Why not?

(curious music)

Hi, Mr. Read, this is Harper.

We met outside of Graceland.

(gentle instrumental music)

I know, I know, it's gonna
be an incredibly busy day,

and we still need to prep for
our 10:00 a.m. run through,

so I'll see you at 9:15 a.m.
sharp.

Dad!

Give me a second, honey.

Yeah, and let's review the
slides for the presentation.

Kay, gotta run, bye.

Honey, where are your shoes?

That's what I was gonna ask
you.

Okay, well we only have
18 minutes to find them,

so come on, let's go.

Where's your brother?

(doorbell dings)

[Millie] I don't know.

Kay, keep looking.

Only 17 minutes now.

[Millie] Taylor!

Hi.

Hi, welcome.

Sorry I'm late.

Come on in.

The kids are upstairs getting
ready.

Oh, look, you know, I must
admit,

I wasn't expecting you to call.

Well, everybody needs
a little extra help

during the holidays, right?

Plus, my sister works from home,

so she doesn't really need me
with the girls after school.

And then, her in-laws were
coming into town early,

and it was just--

Oh, so you're just
home for the holidays?

Uh, well, yeah, that's the
plan.

But I was supposed to
go to Europe for a month

and ended up staying
three years, so who knows?

It all just depends on
if I get that job or not.

Oh, that's very spontaneous.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at
winging it.

Yeah, no, that's great
for certain situations.

But just so you know, we
like a little more structure.

We've been on our own for a
few years, so we have a system.

Yeah, Regina mentioned your
wife to me.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

Oh no, we're managing.

Well, your children are
adorable.

And this house is amazing.

Yeah, Adelaide mentioned
we have the guest house

that we just renovated,

and if you wanna stay in there.

If you take the job,

you won't have to commute back
and forth

on all the icy roads.

Everything you'd need for lunch

is in the refrigerator, of
course.

And everything you'd need
for the schedule is in here.

Everything?

Yeah, the day's schedule,

it's broken down into hourly
blocks.

I know it's gonna be short-term,

but their nanny finds it useful.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, I'm sure she does.

Oh yeah, and it gives you
alerts too,

to keep you on track.

Well, that is very planned
out, yeah.

And this is just for the
weekdays?

Oh yeah, believe it or not,
weekdays are our quiet times.

Well, you know,

it seems like you've got a
real firm handle on things.

Um, I'm not really sure
that this is the right--

Oh, terrific.

Everything okay?

[Adelaide] Hi, Miss Harper.

Are you really gonna be our
nanny?

(bouncy music)

I'm sorry, you were saying?

Looks like my holiday
just got a lot busier.

Hey, my shoe!

They only have a week left of
school,

but a lot to accomplish,

including your art project,
young man.

Hey, maybe you can help
him with it after school?

I have to work late on the
fundraiser.

Again?

Oh, not too late.

Don't worry, art, I can
definitely do.

Great, so bring your
things by, settle in.

Just be here by 3:15 when
the bus drops 'em off,

and you have their schedule.

Right, their schedule.

[Owen] Okay, kids, time's a
wasting.

(engine humming)

(curious music)

(bright upbeat music)

(curious music)

(gentle instrumental music)

(cell phone ringing)

Hey Regina, I was
just about to call you.

Yeah, yeah sure, I can be there
in 20.

Okay, see you soon.

(curious music)

If I keep asking for favors,

you're gonna stop taking my
calls.

Talking about an Elvis
at Christmas exhibit

is hardly a favor, Reg.

Hey, I'm glad that worked out
with Owen.

Slow down, I just started.

But it will keep me busy,

until I hear back from the
Brooks Museum, so that's good.

I really do hope that happens.

Art and travel, that's so you.

I know, we'll see.

Hey, I think this is really
nice!

Come on now, you had three
years

in some of the best museums in
the world.

Give me your insight.

Okay, um, some insight.

Um, what makes Graceland so
amazing?

Well, everything.

But what brings people
from all over the world

coming back every year?

What brings me back again and
again?

Well, I'm thinking Elvis
Presley.

Exactly, but it's not that
Graceland is an exhibit.

It's that it's an experience.

I think the Elvis at Christmas
exhibit

shouldn't be just a bunch
of memorabilia and photos,

and all of that.

I think it should be an
experience

that lets people in on how he
really felt

about the holiday, you know?

What, what are you thinking?

(sighs) That I wish I
could take credit for that,

that's what I'm thinking.

(Harper laughs)

Aw, you're so right!

I knew you'd be honest,

and if you weren't so busy,
I'd ask you to work your magic.

I'm not that busy.

I'm not!

And it wouldn't be a bad
thing if the Brooks Museum

found out I was working on it,
right?

Well, that's true, but
girl, do you ever stop?

Well, where's the fun in that?

And plus, if I fall one second
behind,

this tablet will definitely let
me know.

So if you're asking, the
answer's yes.

Well then, welcome
back to Team Graceland.

Yes, this is gonna be so fun!

(gentle instrumental music)

[Owen] Good, good, good.

These are solid.

Just combine the two slides
of the hospital statistics

with the one in the case study,

and I think we're good to go.

On it, but you should
practice your speech.

How's it coming?

Still noodling.

I know, I need to get it right.

(sighs) Hey, we may be
partners,

but all this came from you.

So you need to dig deep,
open up, make it personal.

Don't worry, I'll get there.

We just need enough
donations on Christmas Eve,

we can't fund it alone.

That I cannot help you with.

Why not?

People like you, you're so
charming.

Well, yes I am, thanks for
noticing.

But do you remember when I did
that interview for Lifewire?

Oh, yeah.

Uh-huh, and I spent
40 minutes pontificating

on the benefits of big data.

Trust me, I remember.

I'll handle the fundraising

[Davis] Good call.

Well, at least you found a
little help

for the holidays, right?

Yeah, it's fine, good.

She's very nice, frustratingly
likable.

I just hope she's as organized
as I'd like her to be.

You like things organized?

Uh ha, very funny.

(Davis laughs)

The kids don't need any more
variables.

They just need a good
Christmas, that's all.

And they will, I promise.

Okay, you're doing great.

You're raising those
kids, this fundraiser.

Sandra would be very proud.

Thanks, pal.

All right, go make some
variant code or something.

I got phone calls to make.

Got it.

(soothing music)

Okay, so homework's done.

Next up, we have to make
presents for your grandparents?

They can't make it out this
year.

So we have to mail them.

Soon.

Okay, and then, make your
Christmas lists, but first--

[Kids] Chores.

Right.

Where do you guys keep your
aprons?

Aprons?

Why do you need aprons?

Well, you don't need them
necessarily,

but I'm not the tidiest baker,
so--

We're baking?

I feel like you've got a lot
to do.

You might need some Christmas
sugar to get that energy up.

We're baking!

I have a good idea, come on.

(guitar holiday music)

(kids laughing)

And that, ladies and
gentlemen, is a Yule log.

Oh!

I see, it's a treat and a tree.

I got hooked on these
in Brussels, so good.

Looks delicious.

It's not done though.

It has to look like that,

so you guys got to get to
garnishing.

Who wants to start?

Me!

And you, my friend, will be
responsible

for frosting the next one.

- Okay.
- Come on, over here.

So what's the theme again?

For what?

For your art project.

Oh, Santa's home in the North
Pole.

Oh, cool.

They left it pretty open.

I have a week to build it.

My dad was gonna help, but you
know--

He's got a lot going on.

Yeah.

Do you have any ideas?

Well, everybody is
making the Santa's castle

or Santa's home,

but I was thinking,
"Where do the elves live?"

That's genius!

You know, my sister
and I would make igloos

out of sugar cubes.

Could that work?

That'd be a lot of sugar
cubes.

(laughs) It would.

Harper, is this enough
berries?

Wow, ladies, that's gorgeous.

But I think we could add a few
more.

Dad, you're home early!

Hey kids, what do we have
here?

I guess this means you're done

with your homework and chores?

(bouncy music)

Yule log?

Harper, can we talk for a
minute?

Yeah, sure.

Mm, I know the kitchen's
kind of a disaster,

but we were just having a little
fun,

getting to know each other, so--

No, that's important.

Yeah, I thought so.

But they've also got a
schedule.

We were working on that.

They just needed a little break.

I appreciate that, I do.

But first they do their
homework, then chores.

No, I understand that.

It's just, it's the holidays,

and everything gets thrown off,
right?

My mom used to say that's
what makes them so special.

Their mother used to
embrace the chaos too.

I'm sorry, that was
insensitive of me.

No, it's fine.

I just wanna make sure
my kids enjoy Christmas.

And that doesn't happen
unless they follow the plan.

So if we could just do that?

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll start cleaning this up.

- Okay.
- Okay.

You should really try a
piece though, it's delicious.

I just might.

(suspenseful music)

(soothing music)

Are you kidding me?

Of course I wanna be there.

[Maggie] Are you sure?

I feel like you have
way too much going on.

Help out at the girls' school?

I'm never too busy for that.

Oh, I do remember you being
pretty good at making wreaths.

It'll be fun, and it's for a
good cause.

And then I'll just go over the
exhibit

with Regina afterwards.

And other than that, I just
have to have the kids ready

by 4:00 p.m. sharp, no
exceptions.

None, really?

Apparently not, but they are
going

to get their Christmas tree,
so that'll be fun for them.

And this exhibit will be fun for
everyone,

if I can tackle it.

You will, I just, I don't
know how you do it all.

Being single helps.

You know, you could tackle
that too.

And start dating, who has time
for that?

Everyone, but you have
to make time for it.

Well, I did it before, and
we all know how that ended,

so no thank you.

And besides, if I were in a
relationship,

I would have way less
time for wreath making,

and exhibits, and hanging
out with you guys, so--

All right, good point.

All right, I'm gonna go.

I'll see you in the morning with
bells on.

See you then.

♪ I hear the bells ♪

♪ Saying Christmas is near ♪

♪ They ring out ♪

It's just a little break.

I mean, what kid doesn't
like to take a break

from homework and chores?

I know.

Well, Owen doesn't like breaks,

unless they're scheduled breaks,
of course, on the tablet.

I'm sure he appreciated it.

You know, some people
are just harder to read.

Well, yeah, he's definitely
got that confident,

tough exterior thing down.

But I can see that he's just,
you know,

trying to keep it all together.

And his kids, his adorable
kids, they're just,

they just want more of him, you
know?

Mm.

Ugh, maybe I'm just
overthinking it.

I'm just gonna roll with it.

You always do.

Um, Aunt Harper, can
you put a bow on this?

Mine too, I like yours better.

No, yours is amazing!

But yeah, I'll put a bow on it.

Go grab me some ribbon.

[Petra] Okay.

They were super excited
that you were coming today.

Aw, I miss this.

Yeah, I do too.

Don't make me cry, come on.

We're not allowed to cry

when there's Christmas music
playing.

You know what, let's just
look at the bright side.

'Cause if I don't get this job,

I'll be back on your
couch in a couple weeks.

You know what, I would love
that.

But it's not gonna happen.

You're going to get this job.

Nobody's more deserving of it
than you.

Aw, you know what, you're
right.

They would be lucky to have
this amazing wreath maker.

(Maggie laughs)

How many more do we have to
make?

Like five?

A hundred?

500?

Yeah.

- Oh my god.
- I think so.

Oh, here.

[Petra] Thank you, Aunt
Harper.

Okay, so the idea is
to make it feel vibrant,

and magical, and fun,

but still feel like an
intimate insider's experience.

Okay, so it's still Elvis at
Christmas,

but during different points of
his life?

Yeah, and we would show
his humble beginnings

in Mississippi, and his service
in Germany in Graceland.

But not in a linear chronology.

So I envisioned guests being
able to walk in and out of,

I know, isn't that cool?

Yeah.

These life-sized scenes,
made with mixed media,

so they just feel closer
to Elvis at Christmas.

I love it, and the scope seems
doable.

By Christmas Eve though?

Well, the King really made
the holiday party much later.

Good point.

Okay, you keep working your
magic.

I'm gonna work on the live
entertainment,

because we certainly can't have

Christmas at Graceland without
that.

Definitely not.

(bouncy instrumental music)

How's your homework coming
along, guys?

[Adelaide] Not done yet.

And you, Taylor?

I don't think I have enough
sugar cubes.

Okay, well, we'll get some
more later, but not now.

Where's Millie?

Right here, have you
seen her other shoe?

So I guess you could
say they're almost ready.

Okay guys, we have one hour to
get tree.

Can Miss Harper come with us?

To get the tree?

No honey, I think that's
more of a family thing.

But you need a tree too.

Yeah, for your room.

Okay, well, I'll find
time to get one later.

Oh yeah, we know how
much you love schedules

and hate being spontaneous.

Okay, so you guys
really want me to come?

Yeah.

Except now we only have
58 minutes to get the tree.

Your call.

Well, I guess we better
hurry up and get some trees.

[Millie] I get to pick the
tree!

[Taylor] No, it's my turn.

[Millie] I get to pick!

[Adelaide] You got to do that
last year.

(bright holiday music)

Let me find the tree.

Not if I find it first.

Remember, it's Millie's
year to pick the tree.

See?

[Harper] You can all help me
find mine.

Yeah, and stay focused
if you wanna have time

for gingerbread cookies.

Oh wait, so you don't have a
problem with all baked goods,

just Yule logs?

Funny.

And you, how are things with
you?

I'm good, yeah.

Regina asked me to help with
the Elvis at Christmas exhibit.

Well, that's got to be a good
thing?

Yeah, I'm excited.

I mean, I can work on it at
night,

so it won't interfere with this
at all.

I was actually wondering if
the kids could come see it.

It's just gonna be a work in
progress.

Um, they're pretty booked.

Right, sure.

It's just, their days
are just so planned out,

it doesn't really leave much
wiggle room.

For what?

Anything else.

Yeah, I know, it's just
you let one thing slide,

and I just don't want
anything else to unravel.

[Millie] Hey Dad, look!

Okay, is that your pick?

It's perfect on all sides.

Is everyone else happy?

Okay, good.

We got this one for you,
Harper!

That's mine?

It's perfect, I love it!

Okay, it's gingerbread time.

Oh, you're right, it is
perfect.

Everyone picks their
favorite Christmas carol,

and then they hold hands
and sing it around the tree.

Where is this from again?

It's a Danish tradition.

I learned it in Copenhagen.

That sounds fun.

Well, do you think
you'd bump in the tree,

knocking the ornaments off?

Fine, we'll just pick one
and sing around the piano.

How's that?

Ugh, as fun as that sounds,
I still have some work to do.

You said you'd help
us decorate the tree.

I thought you were gonna
help me with my project.

We'll have to do it another
time, okay?

I'm sorry, just a few more
evenings, okay?

And I'm sure Harper's
amazing at decorating.

Yeah, I can decorate with
them.

Is it just this one box?

Oh yeah, our basement
flooded a few years ago,

ruined most of them, been
meaning to get more, but--

Oh, I can take 'em out
ornament shopping, if you want.

Well, why don't you get
started with this one,

and then you need more, we'll
get 'em.

Be creative.

I'll just be in my office.

I'll be right back, as soon as I
can.

Who's ready to get creative?

[Kids] Me!

Wow, you guys have
a lot of art supplies.

I thought I wanted to
become a fashion designer,

but now I'm thinking an
illustrator.

Well, I think you'd be
good at either, maybe both.

How are we gonna make
decorations

out of glitter, glue, and
cotton?

And pipe cleaners and stars.

And ribbon.

Tons of ribbon!

(all laughing)

Just get adventurous
Taylor, you're good at that.

All right, who's ready?

Me!

Oh, yeah.

(computer keys clacking)

(sentimental music)

Oh, wow!

You said to get creative.

Okay, come on.

(soft music)

Hey Adelaide.

Taylor.

(bouncy music)

I made a snowman.

Did you see it?

I did, it's the best
snowman ornament ever.

Sleep tight, okay.

Goodnight, Daddy.

(twinkling music)

You had a busy night.

Oh, hey.

Yeah, um, about that,

we probably went a little
overboard, but--

Thank you.

Oh, sure.

I don't know how you
did it all in one night,

but this place looks great.

Well, I had some pretty
awesome elves assisting me.

They even helped me decorate my
own tree.

Oh, I'm glad.

Are you?

Mhm.

Hey, I'm meeting Regina
tomorrow.

Why don't you meet me with the
kids?

At Graceland?

Yeah, we'll go Christmas
shopping after,

you can join us.

Yeah, sure I'd love to.

Good, goodnight.

Goodnight.

(hopeful music)

So when did you have time to
go out

and get all this stuff?

Oh, the shopping in Europe is
amazing.

You shouldn't have.

Oh, stop.

So how's Owen and the
whole tree decorating?

Was he really okay with all that
sparkle?

Yeah, I think he
actually kinda liked it.

Maybe he's a bigger
softie than you thought.

Yeah, he's getting there.

Ugh, the kids though.

They are total marshmallows, so
sweet.

Well, I can't wait to meet
him.

Them.

I can't wait to meet them.

The whole family.

- Them.
- What?

Not him.

(Maggie laughs)

Couldn't help myself.

You guys finally get to check
out

what we've been working on.

So eventually, all of
these photos and videos,

and all kinds of stuff is
gonna be inside of the exhibit

to show how important family
and Christmas were to Elvis.

Is that where he grew up?

Yes, modest, but it
really was full of love.

Oh, and that is Christmas 1958,

when he was stationed in
Germany.

And the story goes that
he sang "Silent Night"

for all of his fellow soldiers.

- Aw.
- Isn't that cool?

Yeah.

I'll try and get you final
numbers soon.

Okay, I'll be ready.

Can you imagine how great
it's gonna be when it's done?

Okay, let's get those
presents.

("Have Yourself a Merry Little
Christmas")

Millie, I did not know
how you were gonna wrap

that family tree, but it looks
amazing.

You think they'll like it?

Oh, I'm sure your grandparents

will love anything from you.

And I hope you guys like
something that I found for you.

I know there's only nine
more days until Christmas,

but I saw this, I thought
you had to have it.

An advent calendar!

Beautiful, and it lights up.

And when you pull out the
drawers.

(twinkling music)

Aw.

(Owen laughs)

I know this one!

[Millie] I know this one too!

Do you know it?

What are the words?

♪ h*, h* h*, who wouldn't go ♪

♪ h*, h* h*, who wouldn't go ♪

♪ Up on the rooftop, click,
click, click ♪

♪ Down through the chimney
with old Saint Nick ♪

(all laughing)

And also, one last surprise.

In each drawer is.

Ooh!

Did this come with it, or
did someone put them in there?

I don't know, I didn't
put them in there.

Maybe the elves did?

Probably, yeah.

Okay, what do you say to Harper?

Thank you.

You're welcome.
(cellphone ringing)

Oh, you know what?

Oh, I think this is the Brooks
Museum.

Go get 'em.

Yeah, this is Harper.

Okay, who wants hot chocolate?

- I do!
- Me!

(bouncy holiday music)

Special delivery, compliments
of my three little elves.

Thank you, that looks amazing.

Enjoy.

Mm, wow that's good hot
chocolate.

What's your secret?

Millie put extra marshmallows.

Go after my own heart.

So what did the museum say?

They want to see me for a
second interview tomorrow.

That's great.

Yeah, I scheduled it while
the kids are in school,

so don't worry about it.

I'm not worried, but you seem
to be.

Do I?

No, um, yeah I'm a
little nervous, I guess.

You'll be fine.

Just be your unique self.

After seeing all that you're
doing

with the Graceland exhibit,

they'd be lucky to have you.

Thank you for saying that.

Maybe I should just
bring her one of these?

Oh, well then you'd
definitely get the job.

(Harper laughs)

Oh hey, I know I was
supposed to take the kids

skating tomorrow, but my sister
and nieces

are going sledding, do you
think that's close enough?

Uh, don't let Wayne
Gretzky hear you say that.

(Harper laughs)

Yeah, you're fine, no problem.

I'll let you get some rest.

Okay, and Owen,

I know you're doing everything
you can

to make this a great Christmas,

and you are, but I feel
like what the kids want

more than anything, is just
to spend time with you.

That's the best gift, right?

You're right.

Thank you for saying that.

Of course, goodnight.

Goodnight.

(gentle piano music)

(gentle instrumental music)

[Allison] Harper.

[Harper] Hi.

[Allison] Hi, I'm Allison,
director of the museum.

[Harper] It's so nice to meet
you.

[Allison] Thanks for coming
in.

[Harper] Of course.

There seems to be a lot of
good buzz,

surrounding the Graceland
exhibit.

I know I'm excited to see it.

Well, thank you.

I'm excited to be doing it.

I think it'll be the
perfect Christmas gift

to all the Elvis fans.

[Allison] I like your
confidence.

[Harper] Thank you.

[Allison] You definitely have
a lot of varied experience.

Well, I've been on the
go for quite some time, so,

which is how I've been able
to see so much incredible art

firsthand, and figure out
what really speaks to me.

And recognizing that is
essential

for a curator of international
exhibits.

I'm assuming more travel
made this position

a bit more enticing?

It did.

I mean, it does, yeah.

Um, I'm just curious though,

do you think you'd ever
need anybody based here?

Right now, our need is in
London,

overseeing art exhibits in
Europe.

But I do appreciate your
enthusiasm.

Well, it's an amazing
opportunity,

one that I'm truly honored
to be in the running for.

I have a lot to consider,

but I'm excited to see
your work in action.

See you soon.

Merry Christmas.

(sighs) Okay.

Our program connects those
islands,

like a billion bridges.

[Man On Phone] It was okay.

Hold on there, son.

That's a nice speech, but I'd
rather hear from the heart.

Frankly, I'd rather hear a
bunch of computer mumbo jumbo.

Of course, yes, I understand.

[Man On Phone] Owen, if
you're looking for a few bucks,

I'm not your man.

But I like what you're doing,

and if you hit your goal, I'll
double it.

Okay, that would be a game
changer.

[Man On Phone] If you hit your
goal.

Of course, yes, thank you.

We won't disappoint.

We could double our
distribution!

Take on the whole south east!

Nicely done!

We are both on our game today!

That's why I'm here ten minutes
early

to review the upgrades
of our interface program,

and yeah, bee impressed with
that.

Yeah about that, uh, change of
plans.

Come again?

Harper's taking the kids
sledding.

So?

Oh, so you wanna go, like right
now.

'Cause I don't know the
last time you canceled.

Rescheduled.

Yeah, anything.

Are you sure you don't
want to come tonight?

To a stuffy dinner, filled
with industry competitors?

Yeah no, gonna hold that for
our party, but thank you.

Thank you for understanding.

We'll go sledding next time.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

[Maggie] You guys have fun.

Don't go too fast.

The faster you go, the safer
it is.

Not true.

(kids screaming excitedly)

Says the girl who never slows
down.

When was the last time
you took a night off?

The night I got here, I
didn't do anything that night.

Jet lag doesn't count.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Hey, I didn't know you were
coming.

This is my sister, Maggie.

This is Owen.

Oh, nice to meet you finally.

Likewise.

So how was the interview?

We'll see.

[Adelaide] Dad!

Ugh (laughs), hey you having
fun?

Yeah.

I guess now is a good time to
ask,

would you and the kids
like to come over tonight?

Cookies and a Christmas movie?

Yes, we love cookies.

I would love to.

Unfortunately, I have a
fancy holiday party to go to.

Bunch of big vendors are gonna
be there, so I can't miss it.

Well, it sounds fun.

Uh, not so much, business.

Well, it's a Christmas party.

Who doesn't love Christmas
parties?

You could go.

Keith and I will watch the kids.

Harper could go, right?

She could go with you.

Maggie, you can't just invite
me to his business parties.

That's not how it works.

You said you don't get out
much.

Okay, I said that, but it's
true.

It's true.

I really think you should go.

Yeah, you know what, why don't
you come?

It'll be fun.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, how fancy is it?

(curious bouncy music)

[Millie] Can you pass
me the sugar cutter?

I wanna cut one.

Millie flips out when she's
tired,

Taylor gets more energy,

and Adelaide should just tell
you.

When the kids get done with
this cookie making session,

they're probably just gonna pass
out,

like even before the movie.

Are you sure you wanna do
this?

I feel like five kids is a lot
to handle.

Don't worry, Keith is helping,

and his parents are here too.

And when the kids get tired,

I'll just take them back to
Owen's

and wait for you to get home.

Maggie, you don't
need to do that, really.

It's no big deal.

Just go have fun, you deserve
it.

(inhales sharply) What if
we have nothing to talk about?

Please, you can talk to
anyone,

even if he's handsome.

Maggie, stop!

Or I'm gonna put some sweats on

and come over to your house
right now.

[Maggie] Okay, okay, just
please enjoy your one night off.

Uh, Mom, we need some help.

Oops, gotta go.

All right, love you, sis.

(soft piano music)

Hey.

Wow, you look.

Is it too fancy?

I know you said fancy, I wasn't
sure.

No, just really beautiful.

Well, thank you.

So are you ready for a
dazzling evening

with high-tech computer job?

Well, now that you put it that
way.

(gentle music)

(Harper laughs)

(gentle piano music)

When we heard you were
applying your systems

to the medical field,
and doing it for free,

we thought you'd lost your mind.

I know, it sounds nuts,

but it's really
invigorating our engineers,

and I think hospitals will
really benefit.

We just need to raise enough
money, or we can't pull it off.

Hint, hint.

Oh, you expect me to
just give money away?

Well--

(laughs) Just kidding, of
course you can count on me.

Okay, now I'm really happy I
came,

'cause these croquettes are
amazing.

You have to try one.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Is this your date?

Oh, no.

Friends.

Family, she takes care of my
kids.

Normally, well not tonight
obviously.

Okay.

And also, I don't date, so
there's that.

Whoa, I clearly got that
wrong.

Harper, this is Radford, our
host.

We spent a lot of money on
his computers over the years.

So nice to meet you.

You've thrown an amazing party.

Thank you.

Well, as much as I'd
love to stay and chat,

I have to give a speech, so
see you on Christmas Eve.

See ya.

- Harper.
- Hm.

Wow, well that couldn't
have been more awkward.

I'm so sorry, and probably
shared too much information.

No, it was illuminating.

You don't date?

No, I date.

I have dated.

I had a serious relationship,
where I pictured it all,

the house kids, the whole nine
yards.

And then?

Then he changed his mind,
said he didn't see it anymore,

at least not with me, so--

And so you moved to Europe?

Well, first I stayed here
and wallowed for a good while.

And then eventually,

I just decided I needed to pick
myself up

and go do what I love.

And you've been on the move
ever since?

Yeah, I guess so.

Familiar tale.

Get your heart broken, get
busy to distract yourself,

and then three years have flown
by.

Okay, enough about that.

What about you?

You have to share something.

- Me?
- Yeah.

About dating?

Sure, or anything.

Okay, it took a while.

But yeah, I've dated a little.

Just after everything that
happened,

I wanna get it right.

Yeah.

They're serving dinner.

I hope you're still hungry.

Oh, I'm always hungry.

This is so pretty.

Yeah, isn't it?

Is this sort of similar to
the party that you've thrown?

Uh.

[Harper] Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

What?

What's wrong?

Oh, this is not good.

Oh, it's bad.

This is exactly like the
party we're throwing.

Oh.

The classical music,
the oversized presents,

the sleigh, the reindeer.

He even has nutcrackers on the
table.

Owen, who cares?

It's not like the same people
are gonna be at your party.

It's virtually the same guest
list.

Oh.

Well, you know what?

Why don't we just take these
nutcrackers right off the table

and hide 'em?

Kidding, kidding, kidding,
I'll put the nutcracker back.

Hey, hey!

Listen, it's gonna work out, I
promise.

You worry too much.

You good?

I'm good.

Okay.

Cheer up, Owen Read, it's
Christmas.

Good evening, everybody.

Thank you all so much for coming
out.

Try and keep this short and
sweet.

So good to see so many faces
I know and love out there.

[Harper] Ooh, I'm so
glad the kids had fun.

Aw, I think they want to spend
the rest

of the holidays together.

Aw, that's so sweet.

So cute.

Thank you again for tonight.

I really appreciate it.

Love you.

Love you.

Oh, the kids left something
for you on the counter,

for both of you.

Oh, what is it?

I don't know.

Goodnight.

Get home safe.

Everybody's fast asleep.

Oh, they had a busy day.

And they left us this.

What is it?

I don't know.

Sprinkles.

Frosting.

Oh, happy decorating.

How can we say no to that?

Decorating cookies is on our
list,

but I'm not sure I can cross it
off

if we're not all here together.

I think as long as they get
decorated,

you can just cross it off the
list.

Good plan.

And also, things can fall of
the list.

That makes me uncomfortable.

Sure it does.

You know what my favorite
childhood memories are?

What?

Staying in our pajamas,

lounging, and laughing, and
eating.

No agenda, just hanging out.

Mm.

That's what your kids
are gonna remember.

Just hanging out?

Yes, with you.

Tour guide, nanny,
philosopher, artist.

You might have a calling there.

Yeah, I just might if I don't
hear back

for this curating job.

Yeah, when are you
supposed to hear back?

I have a feeling they're gonna
wait

and see how this exhibit goes.

No pressure, right?

But it has given me a chance
to really stop and think.

About what?

What I really want.

It's been really nice
being home with family

and back in Memphis.

(sentimental music)

It's really great
having you here with us.

I mean, the kids love having you
around.

If I can just figure out a
solution for this fundraiser.

I'm sure you'll think of
something.

How do we inspire people to
donate

if it's more of the same?

If we don't inspire, then
we can't reach our target.

And if we don't reach our
target,

then all of the matching funds
go away.

What if we combined our
events?

I mean, they're already on the
same night.

Move the fundraiser
to where, the museum?

I think it could actually
really work.

I mean, Elvis was an incredibly
charitable guy, right?

Especially at Christmas, he
gave to all the local charities,

including hospitals, which
is who you want to help.

Is that even possible
on such short notice?

It's a week away.

I mean, yeah, we would
have to talk to Regina,

but I feel like it could be a
win-win.

That would be a lot of work.

Since when has a lot of work

stopped you before, Owen Read?

(bouncy holiday music)

I just love that we could
add a charitable component

to this event.

I'll have a call out to our
music promoter

that we worked with before

to see if he can bring
somebody in to perform.

Regina, I know it's a
lot to change in a week,

but it fits together so
perfectly.

Elvis, charity, and Christmas.

Yeah.

Let's get started.

Can you believe in 24 hours

all of this hard work is
finally gonna pay off?

What do you say, we grab a
bite at Gladys's and celebrate?

Yeah!

Yeah, we could do that.

Do you mind if we stop by
the mansion afterwards?

I just have a little something
I need to take care of.

Yeah, I don't see why not.

Great.

So what exactly are we doing
here?

Well, Graceland has a family
tradition

that I wanted to share with you.

Well hello, welcome everyone.

Okay, so now I'm even more
confused

than the first day we met.

Hi, Owen.

Hi Owen.

Well, a little birdie told
me that you missed out

on decorating your
Christmas tree this year.

So we thought we could
give you another chance.

Do we really get to help
you decorate your tree?

Yes, you do.

I did hear that you were
experts.

(all laughing)

You know, the first time
that I came to Graceland,

it was Christmas time too.

It was really magical.

These ornaments are amazing.

These just aren't any old
ornaments.

They were given to us by
guests, and even some fans.

They were Elvis and my
favorites.

Amazing.

You know, when you decorate
the tree,

I always like to put
the tinsel on perfectly,

just as if there were icicles
all over.

And then when Elvis would come
in,

well, he would just take all the
tinsel

and he'd toss it up to
the top of the tree,

and then let it just go
everywhere.

And then, come back and
take all the credit for it.

(all laughing)

Miss Presley, this is so
incredible.

I'm sure everyone is just
excited.

Thank you.

Well, I'm just sorry
that I can't be there

for your big event tomorrow
night.

And just wanted to share
with you my appreciation

for both of you.

Thank you.

So should we go and decorate
the tree?

[Kids] Yes!

What?

I can't believe you did this.

'Tis the season.

When I was little,

we used to come here
every single Christmas,

so you know, it just
kinda feels like home.

I just think it's so magical.

Well, isn't that what
home's supposed to feel like?

Okay, we ready for the tinsel?

[Owen] I am.

♪ Listen to those wondrous bells
♪

♪ And you'll hear them say ♪

♪ Open up your hearts to all ♪

♪ On this holiday ♪

Okay, so you had the
most spectacular day?

We did, it was great.

And getting to decorate

with Priscilla Presley at
Graceland?

Come on.

I know, it was so cool.

Hey listen, Owen's gonna take
the kids,

and I was thinking, I could
come over to your place

and we could get ready and
go to the party together.

Glam it up.

The girls are gonna love that.

I'm excited.

Me too.

All right, I gotta go.

I'll talk to you later.

Hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

Oh no, I was just talking to
my sister.

Hey, thanks for tonight.

It was totally unexpected.

Yeah, I had a really great
time.

Yeah, me too.

I better go work on my speech.

Okay.

I know you don't, or you know,

haven't done much of it lately,

I was wondering if you'd be my
date?

To our party?

Officially.

I'd love to.

You would?

Yeah, I just told my
sister that I would get ready

with her and the girls
at her place though.

Oh yeah, totally
understandable.

Maybe you could just
pick me up from there?

Okay.

It's a date.

Okay.

(awkward bouncy music)

Speech.

(gentle instrumental music)

Finally, I thought
you were standing us up.

What?

No, never.

Sorry, it's just everything
today

is taking way longer than
expected.

Then you better start getting
ready.

Okay, I know that tonight
is supposed to be just fun

for everyone, but what
if it doesn't go well?

What, the exhibit?

And Owen's party.

I mean, he's never thrown
a fundraiser before,

and I certainly haven't.

And then what if the director
from the Brooks Museum

actually does show up?

Okay, stop.

You've got two really
great events going on,

the chance to help a lot of
people,

and we're all gonna be
there to support you.

Is that really what's bothering
you,

or are you a little nervous
about it being a date?

Okay, fine, I'm not not
nervous about it being a date.

He is pretty incredible.

Oh!

But I don't even know how
much longer I'm gonna be here,

so it's pointless.

He knows that too,

but you're here now,

so why don't you just go with
the flow?

It's what you always tell me to
do.

That's not that easy.

It actually is.

You've been doing it your whole
life,

just not with your heart.

Okay.

(cheerful holiday music)

Wow, you look absolutely
incredible.

Thank you.

Just keeping with the color
theme.

You look very handsome.

Thank you.

Well, shall we go?

Yeah, we wouldn't wanna be
late.

Harper, wait, don't forget
your coat.

- Oh, of course.
- Hi, Owen.

Hi you two, we'll see you in a
bit.

See you guys later.

(sentimental music)

(upbeat music)

(crowd chattering)

("Frosty the Snowman")

For someone who doesn't
like fancy parties,

you sure clean up pretty good.

I had to bring my A game,
didn't I?

And so do you, if we're gonna
get Graham to match our goal.

Saw him on the way in.

(people chattering)

And I would say in on Frosty.

Great, give me a moment?

Yeah.

You are amazing, you know that?

I think people are really loving
this.

The night's young,
let's see how it goes.

Ooh, it's gonna be like that,
huh?

I just don't wanna be overly
optimistic.

(Harper laughs)

Okay, hate to be that
girl and have to interrupt,

but our guest singer is running
late.

What?

Apparently the roads from
Nashville are really icy,

but your presentations already
been done,

so I'm gonna switch it
up and you go first?

Oh, you mean, like,
okay, yeah I could do that.

You'll be great.

Just be yourself.

Okay.

And remember that people
always give from their heart,

so it'll be great if you speak
from yours.

Thanks for the tip.

Good luck.

[Allison] Harper.

Allison, you made it.

I wasn't sure I was gonna
find you before I had to leave.

I'm actually on my way out.

Oh, already?

I have another engagement,
but I'm really impressed.

You are?

The emotion behind the
exhibit is really powerful.

The charitable event on top,
terrific.

I know this is a big night for
you, so I'll keep it brief.

The job is yours if you want it.

Really?

Well, as long as you leave
for London by the 28th.

The 28th?

That's so soon.

We want someone fully settled
in by the new year, so yes.

Listen, why don't you take
tomorrow to think about it,

and let me know.

[Harper] Okay.

Here's my card again.

Just call my cell.

Okay, thanks Allison.

Have a great night.
- Sure, you too.

[Owen] Good evening.

(audience applauding)

Merry Christmas.

(soft piano music)

Thank you for being here
tonight.

I gather you're having fun?

(audience applauding)

I just wanna take a brief
moment,

and thank everybody at
Graceland.

Regina, you and your team
knocked it out of the park again.

And Davis, my business
partner, I love you buddy.

We're here in honor of
Elvis's legacy of giving,

and his many charitable
contributions at Christmas.

So let's give it up for Elvis,
come on.

(audience applauding)

I said many times before,

there is an ocean of medical
information out there,

and our company's mission is,

(clears throat) our company's
mission.

(sighs) You know, I had this
whole speech.

You know, we all go through
difficult times in life.

Me and my family know
this as well as anyone.

But it wasn't until recently
that someone so special

came into our lives, and
showed me just how important

the heart of the family is,

and how we need to cherish
the time we spend together.

When you walk out of here
tonight,

you will feel certain that your
generosity

will allow us to help
those in need do just that.

Quicker diagnoses, faster
treatment time, higher cure rates.

All of that equals one thing,

more time to do the things
in life that really matter.

And with your help,

we're giving away this
technology for free.

(audience applauding)

Merry Christmas.

Wooh!

(audience applauding)

(bright holiday music)

Any word?

They're still trying to get
here,

but this just doesn't looked
promising.

I'm sorry, everyone's so
excited.

No, no, it's not your fault.

Hey kids, we hit a little
problem.

We heard.

You did?

Don't worry, we have a backup
plan.

What is it?

Okay girls, what's so
important?

You have to sing.

What?

Sing?

You just have to.

Right now, in front of
everyone?

We'll sing with you, if that
helps.

Dad promised everyone a
performance,

and I think we should give it to
them.

It's actually not a bad idea.

Okay, well if you all sing
with me,

I guess we could sing a carol.

- We could do that.
- You will?

Okay, well, let's give these
people a Christmas at Graceland

they're never gonna forget.

I can't believe you're making me
do this.

(crowd chattering)

Ladies and gentlemen,
unfortunately due to weather,

our musical act couldn't make it
tonight.

[Audience] Aw!

However, instead, we have
a very special performance.

(audience applauding)

Feel free to sing along if you
want.

Please do, please.

Oh, Owen.

I like that whole island thing,

talking about.

Owen, fantastic job.

Graham, thank you so much.

And what you're promised,
I'm doubling my commitment.

Oh, thank you!

That is a game changer,
thank you so much.

Would you give me a second?

Oh yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

He's the boss.

What a night, right?

Yeah.

I couldn't have done
any of this without you.

I mean, not just this,

this is the best Christmas
we've had in a long time,

all of us.

Me too.

Really?

Good, because I, I never
expected to feel like this.

Especially after the first day.

But I've never met someone
as incredible as you.

I got the job at the Brooks
Museum.

[Owen] Oh.

I just ran into the director.

Are you gonna take it?

I don't see how I could say
no, right?

Wow, I have bad timing.

I'm sorry I said all that.

No, don't be sorry.

Everything that you said,
honestly I--

No, it's okay.

When do you have to leave?

Right after Christmas.

So soon?

Congratulations.

It's what you've always wanted.

I'm really happy for you.

They're so lucky to have you.

Thank you for all your work.

Thank you.

You'll wanna to go tell your
family,

and I'm gonna find the kids.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Hey!

Hey, I did not expect to

That just made my holiday.

And a job offer too?

[Maggie] Hello, Christmas.

I know, I really didn't
think I was gonna get it.

Oh, we knew you would.

You're the hardest
working person that I know.

[Keith] We're just happy
you're happy.

Yeah.

That wasn't very convincing.

I just, I'm still letting
it sink in, that's all.

Well, you know, we'll come
visit you.

Listen, I'm gonna go round up
the kids.

So congratulations.

All right, good night.

- Love you.
- Love you.

So you feel, you feel good?

I do, I feel, I feel so
grateful,

and I feel really lucky.

That's not really the same
thing.

Mm, hmm, I don't know, I just,

I guess I just really love
being around you guys,

and I forgot how much I
really do love it here,

so it'll be hard to leave.

And all the rest.

What rest?

They're a pretty special
family.

Oh, no, Maggie, this is not
about them.

And I couldn't stay here for
good.

Why not?

You can do anything you want.

I've known that about you
forever.

But you're the only one who
knows what's in your heart.

It's all in the feeling, right?

Thank you everybody,
Merry Christmas, thank you.

(audience applauding)

(soft jazz music)

Allison, hi, this is Harper
Ellis.

Do you have a minute?

("Jingle Bell Rock")

Well, you put everything you
got into this, and it worked.

We're gonna be able to get
this program

off the ground in no time.

I know it was a risk,
but it was worth it.

(soft piano music)

Just don't stop there, okay?

I know you like to be
able to control things

whenever you can, but love,
love doesn't work that way.

Doesn't mean it's not worth it,

and it doesn't mean
you can't make it work.

(sentimental music)

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm trying to roll
with things more, so--

Wow, that's big.

Yeah.

Where are all the kids?

Yeah, they're giving us a
minute.

So I know we won't have
it all figured out yet.

No master plan?

Nope.

We don't wanna lose you.

I don't wanna lose you.

Really?

Really.

Well, that's good to know.

But I don't think I'm going
anywhere.

What?

You're not taking the job?

I thought it was what you
wanted?

Two weeks ago it was.

So what changed?

I did.

I realized that I wanna be here

with the kids, and you, and my
family,

so I told her that I
wanted to be based here

and gave her my best pitch.

What'd she say?

She said she'd think about it.

Okay, look, you don't have
to decide anything right now.

Whatever you want, wherever it
takes you,

we'll make it work.

That's all I ever wanted.

I think you just made our
Christmas.

Mine too.

(bright instrumental music)

(all laughing)

Didn't you guys set
the timer like I said?

Sometimes they go really fast.
