♪ Whoa

Emma, these past few years
with you have been magical.

I'm the happiest I've ever been,
and it's all thanks to you.

You've taught me
to see the world in a new way.

Because of that,
you've made me a better person.

In fact, the only thing
that would make this Christmas

even more perfect

would be if you agree to spend
the rest of your life with me.

So, Emma Howard...

will you marry me?

I don't know.

Are you sure?

Are you kidding me?
He is so going to propose.

Did you know that
% of all proposals

take place at Christmas?

Is that true?

It was in Cosmo.
It must be.

Ah, you two are like
the perfect couple.

Yeah, thank you.

I just feel like he's waiting
for the exact right moment.

I mean, you know
how meticulous he can be.

Yeah, but he also knows
how to make an impression.

What are you trying to say?

I'd be ready if I were you.

I always wanted
a brief engagement myself

- Oh?
-

To match the length
of your relationships?

Says the girl
who hasn't had a boyfriend

since the Bulls
were in the playoffs.

- So I'm particular.
- Right.

Em, something wrong?

It's-- It's nothing.

Then how about
one more drink, please?

- Trish is buying.
- You know what?

I actually think I'm gonna go.

- Wait, are you sure?
- I know, I know.

I have a really early pitch
meeting tomorrow. I should.

The life of a busy
PR manager.

Well, give him a hug for us.

I will.
You guys have fun.

Bye.

You've taught me to see
the world in a different way.

No.

You've taught me to view
the world in a different way.

You've inspired me
to view the world...

Liam, I'm home!

Hey, hon!

Hi!

Hey. How are Kat and Trish?

They were great.
They said to tell you hi.

Oh, that's nice.

Hi.

Uh, so I think there's
something we should talk about.

Please tell me
it's something good.

I could really use that.

Oh, is something wrong?

It's just something
Uncle Brian texted me.

What was it?

Do you remember
the Hacienda de la Sierra?

Yeah, yeah,
the Grand Canyon resort

where your family
used to spend Christmas.

Apparently,
the owners are selling it.

- Really?
- That's where I had

some of the most memorable
Christmases with my family,

with my mom.

We'd go horseback riding
and Christmas caroling.

We'd hike to
the edge of the canyon

and act like we were cowgirls.

That's sweet.

It's silly, I know,

but I guess I just thought...

I'd bring my family there
one day.

You know, our family.

Really?

Well, tradition is
so important in my family.

You know my dad.

He practically defines
old-fashioned

when he's not working,
you know, all the time.

Old-fashioned.
Traditions. Right.

Hey, we'll make
some new traditions.

Someday.

Yeah.

I guess it would've just
been nice to go back

for one last Christmas.

You know,
say goodbye to the place.

Anyway, um, enough about me.

What did you want
to talk to me about?

- What?
- When I came home,

you said you had something
you wanted to talk to me about?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I just wanted to let you know

I don't really feel
like Italian tonight.

Okay.

We'll save it
for a special occasion.

All right, well, should I get
the Chinese food menus?

Uh, yeah.

Is he here?

Mm-hmm. He got in early.

All right.

Hey, Liam.
How's that IRR coming?

It's almost done. I was hoping
I could have a moment.

Sure, come on in.

- Close the door.
- Yeah.

Sir, you know how I feel
about Emma,

how there's nothing
I wouldn't do for her,

and I just was thinking
that, uh...

Well, she mentioned
you're an old-fashioned,

traditional kind of guy,

and I just wanted to ask your
permission to, um, you know...

Liam, nothing would
make me happier.

- Really?
- Oh, yeah.

You're a rising star with
a strong head on his shoulders,

and I would be proud
to have you in the family.

And who knows? Maybe you'll be
able to convince my daughter

to join the company
one of these days.

Sure, yeah, of course.
Thanks, Dad.

Uh, let's not
get ahead of ourselves.

- Oh.
- Hey, John, come-- You're in.

Am I interrupting?

As a matter of fact,
our finest analyst here

is just, uh, asking me for
your niece's hand in marriage.

Really?

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

William, we need to talk about
the hotel division.

Great.

So... anything else?

Yeah, there is the matter
of the proposal.

I'm sure that's gonna be
wonderful.

Yeah, I was thinking
the Hacienda de la Sierra.

That would be the perfect place
to propose to Emma.

Whoa. Haven't thought
about that place

since I don't know how long.

When was the last time
we all went down there?

Uh, Danielle was still with us,
so years?

It's special to Emma,
and I thought that,

it being their last Christmas
and all, we could...

Well, it's about time,
if you ask me.

Land's gotta be worth
a fortune by now.

So you think it's a good idea?

Yeah, as long as you're back
by the second

because I need
that NPV evaluation

before those investors call us.

Yeah, I was hoping that
you would join us, both of you.

No, I'm too busy, Liam.
Come on.

Yeah, but it just wouldn't be
the same without the family.

I don't know, William.

We used to have so much fun
on those Christmas trips.

Do you have any idea
how much work I have to do?

Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice

to spend some time
with our brothers?

Come on. I mean,
don't you have to visit

Marilyn's mother in Boca
or something?

One can only take
so many palmetto bugs.

I'll tell you what, all right?
Find out what the rooms cost.

I'll cover the expense

and consider that
my engagement present.

Well, that's very generous
of you, Dad-- Uh, William.

But Emma would be thrilled,
I'm sure,

if you actually would spend
Christmas with us.

I'm sure she would.
I've got a company to run.

my valuation report.

I thought you said
you didn't finish it.

It's my valuation report
on the Hacienda.

You're right.
That land is worth a fortune.

You don't miss a trick,
do you?

Isn't that why you hired me?

Whoa.

So... when exactly
are you thinking?

Trust me, Mom,
you're gonna love this place.

But I was looking so forward
to the two of you coming here.

I know, but this could be
her last chance

before they shut the place down
for good,

and it would mean a lot
if the families

could spend Christmas
together.

And her father
actually agreed to this.

It took some doing, but yeah.

Well, then who am I to say no?

Em is the closest thing
I'll ever have to a daughter.

Besides, it'd be good for me to
get out of this freezing cold.

Great. Thanks, Mom.

Of course, but, you know,
I can't speak for your aunties.

Oh, don't worry.
I'm taking care of it.

- You are?
- Yep.

About to do a Zoom
in two minutes.

What's a Zoom?

I'll fill you later.

- Okay. Honey, one more thing.
- Yeah.

Didn't invite him, did you?

Dad? You know
I wouldn't do that to you.

Besides, I think he's in Vermont
with what's-her-name.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, everybody!

Oh, Aunt Tina
and Aunt Val are here.

Honey, your aunties
are in New York.

It's Zoom, Mom.

Zoom is in New York?

I love you.
I'll talk to you later.

Okay. I love you too.

Zoom.

Zoom.

Aunt Tina, Aunt Val, hey!

Our favorite nephew.

Gosh, I haven't seen you
since...

When was it?
Thanksgiving, two years ago.

- Three.
- Time flies.

You and the hubby always have
the best Thanksgiving.

I'm so sorry
I wasn't able to make it.

We're used to it.

So where do they have you
working now anyway?

Georgia.

Well, at least
you're closer to home.

The country.

I'm running a medical program
for Chechen refugees.

Oh.

So, Liam, how's your
girlfriend doing? Anna?

Emma. Actually, that's why
I wanted us all to chat.

I think we're waiting
for a few more.

Is Aunt Laura gonna join us?

Oh, she sends her regrets.

She's in Orlando
with the family.

Well, it's the happiest place
on Earth.

So who else is joining us?

Hi, everyone.

This is John,
Emma's oldest uncle.

John, these are my aunts,
Tina and Valerie.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hey, what'd I miss?

Actually, I was just about
to get started.

First of all,
I want to thank all of you

for taking the time to chat.

Anytime!
And you are who again?

- Liam.
- Emma's boyfriend.

- Emma's fiancé.
- Hey, congratulations!

- Wait, what?
- When were you gonna tell us?

Why am I always
the last to know?

I can't believe Michelle
wouldn't even mention

that her only son
is getting married.

Yeah, well,
Michelle knows everything.

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.

It's not official.
At least not yet.

See, I've been trying to find
the right time to propose,

and there's this resort
down in Arizona...

Wait, he doesn't mean...

He does.

Yeah, if you all take a look
on your screens...

That old place
is still there?

Well, actually, they just
announced they're closing.

You see, Emma has such fond
memories of this place as a kid,

and I thought it would be fun
if we all went there

for one last Christmas
before they closed for good,

as one big family.

This Christmas?

I've got a block of rooms
starting the st.

I'm in the middle
of a new project.

You're an inventor.
You work for yourself.

I'm an entrepreneur.

I would love to, but I just
accepted a new post in Kenya.

There's a hospital in Nairobi
that needs some help.

Look, I know it's a lot to ask,

but my mother and Emma's father
have already agreed.

Wait, are you actually
telling me

that William has agreed
to take time off from work?

I understand
if you can't make it,

but I promise, if you do,

it will be a Christmas
you will never forget,

and it'll be a surprise
that Emma will remember forever.

Honey?

Hi, I'm in here.

Something smells delicious.

I had the most overwhelming day
at work today.

Emma Howard,
are you stress-baking again?

Guilty as charged.

I'm sure whatever campaign it is
you're working on

will be as wonderful as usual.

- Can I show it to you?
- Yeah.

What do you think?

It's too busy? Be honest.

- Do you hate it?
- No, it's great.

Have a seat, have a seat.

Okay, I know we said we weren't
doing presents this year,

but I saw how upset you were
last night,

and I wanted to do
something special.

What did you do?

Open it.

Don't you want me to wait
for Christmas morning or...

No, I wouldn't.

Phoenix?

It's the closest airport
to the Grand Canyon.

Wait, do you mean--

I know we were supposed
to visit my mom,

but we can't let the world
famous Hacienda de la Sierra

close without us spending
one last Christmas there, right?

Babe...

Is this a yes?

That is a heck yes.

Great.

Oh, I'm gonna text my family.

They are never gonna
believe this.

You're right. They're not.

And I should tell Marjorie

that she needs
to reschedule my meetings.

That's a good idea.

I love you so much.
Thank you.

I love you too.

This is the best Christmas ever.

Indeed.

Final call for Flight ,

nonstop service to Phoenix.

We used to love
to go horseback riding.

Oh, and they do
the cutest gingerbread house

and a holiday hoedown
with music and dancing.

-
- What?

I don't think I've ever
seen you so excited.

I am. Very.

I'm really excited
to share this with you.

Like I said,
new traditions, right?

Yeah.

Love you.

I will say this though.

I sure don't miss the cold.

Neither do I.

Oh, but we do have
to try the hot chocolate.

They melt it down
from scratch,

and it is like the richest thing
I've ever tried.

Oh, they got that.
Don't worry.

- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you!

Come on.

Wow.

- Beautiful, right?
- You weren't kidding.

I mean, this-- Look.

Right in here.

Good afternoon. Welcome to
the Hacienda de la Sierra.

Liam O'Brien.
We have a reservation.

All right, let me check.

Uh-huh, all right.

I have you checking out
on the th, correct?

- Yep.
- All right. How many keys?

- Two, please.
- All right.

- Your two keys.
- Thank you.

Um, your messages.

Messages?
Who knows that we're here?

I, uh, must have said something
at the office before I left.

Well, it is a holiday.

My dad works all the time,
but you, sir, do not.

Do you have a list
of the Christmas festivities?

Oh, yes. Right here.

Uh, the hoedown
has been cancelled.

You're kidding.

Lack of interest, I guess,

but we still do the gingerbread
house setup back there.

Oh, really?
I'm gonna go take a look.

I'll see you when you
finish up here, okay?

- Okay. I'll come find you.
- Okay.

Have, uh...

They started arriving, sir.

Okay, great.
I appreciate the discretion.

Enjoy your stay at the
Hacienda de la Sierra.

Thank you.

Holiday spirit.

- Emma?
- I'm over here.

- Isn't it great?
- Totally.

Now all we need
are some Oompa Loompas.

It's childish, isn't it?

It's adorable.

Well, all of this candy
is making me hungry.

Good, because I made
reservations

- at Saguaro Royale tonight.
- You did?

Yeah, good.
I'm gonna be out of town...

That place is expensive.

It's a special occasion,
isn't it?

Hello? Can you hear me now?

Besides, the place
looked romantic.

- I like the sound of that.
- Yeah, me too.

But promise me,
tomorrow I get to show you

all the reasons
why this place is so amazing.

- Liam?
- I promise.

Tomorrow...

I got it.
Yeah, okay, I hear you.

I'm in your hands.

Yeah, what I was trying
to say was-- Hello?

Yeah, yeah,
I was trying to say, uh--

Look, as soon as I get Wi-Fi,

I'm going to forward you
the offer, yeah.

Yeah, the offer, right, yeah.

I'm in kind of in
a bit of a retreat right now,

so I've got a lousy signal,
but just, uh...

Hello?

Lou?

How can you even think about
working in a place like this?

Excuse me?

Did you really drive two hours
from the nearest city

just to conduct business?

Yeah, part of the joys
of running your own business,

you never get to say no.

It's really not that hard.

Oh, no?

See? You're learning already.

Okay, all right.
I'm William.

Yes, I know.

Have we met?

Michelle O'Brien.

- Ah, Liam's mom.
- Emma's father.

How are you?
I've heard so much about you.

Emma thinks the world of you.

It's a long time since she's,

you know, had a mother figure.

Yeah, I know.
She's a remarkable young lady.

You know, I actually see
a lot of her in you.

Don't you ever let Emma
hear you say that.

So this is your old
stomping grounds, is it?

Yep. Had a lot of great
Christmases here.

A lot of good memories.

Of course,
that was a long time ago.

Well, there's still time
to make a few more.

Oh, boy.

- I'm sorry.
- Take it.

- I'll see you at dinner.
- Yes.

Hey, yes, okay, there you are.

Yeah, I hear you, Lou, yep.

Merry Christmas.

Babe, you got a suite?

Ah, I thought I'd give you
a more traditional Christmas.

Oh, here.

Thank you.

I am so excited to see
what you have planned for us.

First things first.

Dinner. I'm starving.

Or we could just skip
the fancy romantic dinner

and grab a burger.

No.

Oh! Watch out, Santa.

- Everything okay in there?
- Yeah, everything's fine.

Just... turning the lights on
and make sure everything looks--

Wow.

You look beautiful.

It's just something I picked up
after work yesterday.

What we're missing...

is a little mistletoe.

Right.

You trapped me.

I did. I trapped you.

Clever boy.

Come on, let's go.

After you.

Good evening, Mr. O'Brien.
Welcome to the Saguaro Royale.

Thank you.

- If you care to follow me...
- Yeah.

Liam, what is going on?

Surprise!

What? Dad!

Uncle John! Brian!

Hey!

- Michelle!
- Hi.

- How?
- How do you think?

You did all of this for me?

Well, I thought why not
one last Christmas

at the Hacienda
with the family,

just like you did as a kid.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

Best Christmas ever.

We better get seated.

We have a Christmas celebration
to get to, right?

- Yes!
-

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey, Mom.

I just can't believe that
you hadn't figured this out.

Well, I can't believe you
took time off work to be here.

Well, that's because you have
a very persuasive boyfriend.

And here I thought
you hired me for my looks.

Ever since she was
a little girl,

she knew what every Christmas
present was under that tree

before she opened it.

Used to call her
Sherlock Emmy.

Okay, well, it was not
rocket science, Dad.

I was technically the one
that asked you for the gifts.

You should try watching
a mystery show with her.

She'll have the thing figured
out by the first commercial.

He is exaggerating.

Seriously though,

I couldn't have done this
without your help.

Or mine.

I am so happy to see you.

I wouldn't have missed it
for the world.

Seems you raised quite a son.

And he found
quite the daughter.

Yeah, well, I will raise my--
What is this called again?

Wassail.

I will raise my wassail
to that.

Me too.

- Whatever.
- Cheers.

And where's Aunt Judy?

Skiing with the twins
in Vermont.

Thank you for the excuse.

Not a fan of skiing?

Don't like the cold.

Can I borrow you for a second?

Have you seen Andrew around?

He called.
Says he's running late.

Oh, I'll tell you, he's liable
to be late for his own funeral.

Just a second, William,
I promise.

All right, all right.
Excuse me.

Now what?

I wonder what
that's all about.

Uncle Brian is a bit of a...

- Inventor?
- Entrepreneur.

- He's always into something.
- Yeah.

Always looking for
an investment or...

Ah, I see.
Anything worthwhile?

Mm, no.

No, okay? No.

Got it!

Oh, good. Hi!

It's so good to see everyone!

Liam, Emma, Michelle,
Val and Scott.

I just talked to Laura.
She sends her best.

Laura, Laura, Laura.

Great. Ready to get started.

All right.

I know many of you
will accuse me

of wanting
to hear myself speak,

so I will keep this brief.

First and foremost,

I want to thank
each and every one of you

for taking the time
out of your busy lives,

especially during Christmas,

to spend a few days
here with us.

I've been hearing stories
about this place

ever since I met Emma,

and I will tell you
nothing is more special

than having all of you here

to celebrate
one last Christmas with us.

Babe, you're gonna make me cry.

So...

I would like to propose...

a toast to, uh...

family, friends,

and what's sure to be...

a Christmas
we will never forget.

- Hear, hear! Cheers.
- We'll drink to that.

Is it true that they canceled
the hoedown this year?

Yeah, yeah,
but there's plenty to do.

In fact, make sure
you get some sleep tonight

because I have some very special
plans for you tomorrow morning.

Okay?

- Hey.
- Hey.

So, given any thought to
when you're gonna... you know?

Not yet.

Well, just don't wait
till the last minute.

We all need a chance
to celebrate.

I know, I know.

You're nervous.

No.

You're fidgeting.

- The cup's hot.
- It's not that hot.

She's a lovely young lady.

She comes from
a wonderful family.

And her father's my boss.

Which is a good indication
that he likes you.

And he's successful.
I mean, he...

started his own firm
in his twenties,

and I'm what, an analyst?

That's practically
one rung above mailroom.

Everyone starts somewhere.

We all know that.
She knows that.

The only thing that matters is
that she's crazy about you.

So you go and show
my future daughter-in-law

that you're crazy
about her too.

I love you.

I love you too.

Don't wait till
the last minute.

Okay.

There you are, Michelle.

This is reminding me of
Christmases when we were little.

You know,
family under one roof.

Before you split up
all over the country.

And the world.

Scott having a good time?

Well, um, I think
that one of Emma's uncles

is trying to talk him into
investing in some new invention.

Uh-huh, that would be Brian.

Is Liam, okay?

Yes. He's a little nervous,
but I'm not.

Everything's gonna be
just fine.

Okay, well, I do have to admit
you got me on that one.

Oh, you mean I stumped
Sherlock Emmy?

I'm being serious.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

I mean,

the man just
doesn't quit, does he?

Promise me one thing.

What's that?

That you and I will get
a couple of hours each day,

just two of us.

I guess there's such a thing
as too much family, isn't there?

Yes.

Hey, Liam!

It appears I'm being beckoned.

Don't want to keep
the boss waiting...

or the girlfriend.

I'll be up in a minute.

- Hey.
- Hey!

- Hey, go ahead, tell him.
- Tell me what?

I was talking to the owner
before dinner,

and it appears the city is
warm to the idea of rezoning.

I don't understand.
I thought it would be

an ideal opportunity
for the hotel division.

It would be even more valuable
as an industrial investment.

Oh, yeah.

I was hoping that we could
preserve some of the charm.

Don't get me wrong.
I mean, it's a beautiful place,

but think about it.

If it was so profitable
as a resort,

why would they be so willing
to part with it?

What I've been working on,

I figured that
they were going to retire.

It's still your project, okay?
With your percentage,

you're gonna be able
to provide for my daughter

for years and years to come.

Good job, son, good job.

I mean, with your instinct,

you are not gonna be
an analyst for long.

Well, we have
a very busy day tomorrow.

Lots of surprises, yes?

Good work.

Good night.

My project.

Thank you very much, sir.

Good night.

Good night.

Babe.

- Babe.
- Hmm?

Liam, wake up.

I heard something
out in the hall.

It's a hotel.

It's : in the morning.

Maybe it's Santa.

I'm being serious.

Go.

Okay, okay, I'll go look.

Okay.

Do you hear anything?

Nothing.

What's that?

Go, go, go, go.

Uncle Andrew?

Emma!

- Hi!
- Oh, sweetie, hi.

Aw...

Wait, you're Andrew?

Yeah. Sorry I'm so late.

I didn't even leave LA
till like .

Andrew. I should've known.

Hey, Brian!

Hey, are you still in costume?

I came straight
from the theater.

- I'm playing Bob Cratchit.
- Hmm.

- You missed a little...
- What is it?

- A little makeup.
- Oh.

So what did I miss?

Sleep.

Good night.

I guess it is a little late.

Yeah, just a little.

Well, it's great to meet you
in person finally.

Do you happen to have...

Oh, yeah, yeah,
I'll get your key for you.

Sorry.

Good costume though.

Thank you.

So we'll see you
in the morning?

Mm-hmm.

Good night.

Good night.

What? I'm starving.

Just making sure
everything's in order for today.

Well, take a load off.

Yeah, I think I have a moment.

Hey, is that...

- Emma said I had to try it.
- And?

This is really good, actually.

I heard about last night.

My brother always knew
how to make an entrance,

even before he was an actor.

Seems like he's doing
really well for himself.

Well, community theater.

He's doing what he loves.

He should've come to work
at the firm with William and me.

Yeah. Speaking of,

were you serious
about rezoning?

You don't approve?

It's not me I'm worried about.

Emma?

This place is important to her.

Yeah, she'll get over it.

I wouldn't be so sure.
She's not like her father.

Well, between you and me, that
might not be such a bad thing.

Now, the family was different
before Emma's mother passed.

William was different.

Well...

Maybe he just needs
to meet someone new.

- Maybe.
- Not interrupting, am I?

No, no, but I better get
these hot chocolates up to Emma

before she sends out
a search party.

Oh, well, fine, be that way.

We'll just talk about you
behind your back.

Don't forget.
A.M. sharp. Out front.

You do know this is
a vacation, right?

Okay, fine. : .

But if you're not there,
we're leaving without you.

- You too.
- I'm gonna sit this one out.

If you'll excuse me,
I have a meeting, uh...

about that... the thing.

Right.

Excuse me.

I have to loosen everybody up
around here.

Meeting about a thing.

Hoo!

It's Christmas.
What are we doing out here?

We're just having
a little family fun.

Can't we have family fun
with air conditioning?

You okay?

Yeah. It's been awhile.

Since you walked?

You're very funny.

My brother's idea
of exercise

is a hundred words a minute.

But he was on the track team.

Ah, he was the manager
of the track team.

He needed a letterman jacket
to impress a girl.

Ah.

Jennifer Johnson.

The one that got away.

I know you showed me pictures,
but that does not do it justice.

Would I lie?

You used to do this
every year?

Don't act so surprised.

You and I hiked
Indian Dunes together.

Oh, that is not the same.

Well, relax, city slicker,
we're almost there.

Welcome to the Christmas tree.

That's not what
it's really called, is it?

From a distance,
it's shaped like a tree.

Emma's been calling it that
ever since she's a little girl.

You know what?
You're right. Yeah.

This was really thoughtful.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Well, um, I thought this would
be a special place for...

Hey, do you guys remember

how Danielle
used to hoist Emma up

and say she's the star on top?

Yeah.

Your mother
was a special person.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, guys. Sorry.

Hey, Dad?

Dad?

What?

Smooth move.

All right, since we've come
all the way up here,

let's make snowmen.

Yeah.

Snowmen? Here?

The ring.
Where did it go?

Looks like Liam's
already in the spirit.

Come on, let's go.
I'm game.

Come on.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thank you so much for today.
It was so special.

It's always special,
as long as it's with you.

I don't understand!

I used sunscreen!

Which one, Valerie?

The blue bottle,
like you told me.

No, I said the green bottle.

The blue bottle
was suntan lotion.

I am not leaving
this room. Ever.

Oh, no, no, no, we have
Christmas caroling tonight.

We all have to go.

Not me.

You know, I called downstairs
for some aloe,

and they sent up
a bottle of shampoo.

Okay, why don't I go downstairs
and see if they have any aloe.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, of course.

- We're family.
- Thanks.

Scott, nothing to say,
as usual?

I look like a roasted tomato.

It's not that bad.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Can I help you?

Aloe vera?

Oh, sure. It's right here.

There you go. Green bottle.

Thank you.

You look so familiar to me.
Have we met?

Depends. Is this your first day
at the Hacienda?

Oh, no. I used to come here
every Christmas with my family

when I was little.

Well, that explains it.

Yeah, but that was
a long time ago.

Well, I guess you could say
I've always been here.

I mean, this old hotel is a part
of me, and I'm a part of it.

Such a shame
that it has to close.

Yeah, it won't be the same.

But you know one thing I've
learned about places like this?

Eventually, the memories become
just as strong as the building.

I guess I hadn't really
thought about it like that.

You know, a lot of people
have passed through here,

and I like to think
that each one of them

took a little piece of this
place with them when they left,

including...

this little girl right here.

That's me.
I'm with my mom and dad.

I couldn't have been more than
five or six years old.

Yeah. I bet it seems like
it was only yesterday.

It does.

I'm Emma, by the way.
Emma Howard.

Well, it's nice to meet you,
Emma Howard.

I'm Nicole.

So you here
with your family now?

Two families,
if you can believe that.

Mine and my boyfriend's.

- Ew.
- Yeah.

He planned for us to spend
one last Christmas here

before the place closes.

Even got my dad to come along.

works a lot.

If by a lot, you mean always,
then yes.

It sounds like this boyfriend
is quite the guy.

He is.

That must be so nice,

everyone spending time together
under one roof.

Actually, it's been
quite a handful.

Can I tell you a secret?

Most worthwhile things
usually are.

- How much for the aloe?
- Don't worry about it.

Are you sure?

I think your boyfriend's aunt
needs it more than I do.

- Right.
- Emma?

We got worried about you.
Thought you might've got lost.

Liam, I was literally
just talking about you,

although...

How did you know
this was for his...

Okay, that's crazy.
She was literally just here.

Who?

Nicole.
Some woman who works here

that knew I was getting this
for your aunt.

Maybe she just
overheard you talking.

- I guess.
- Come on.

Let's get this upstairs

before my aunt starts doing
the ouchy dance.

It's probably too late
for that.

Yeah, probably.

Oh, no.

What?

You can't go Christmas caroling
like that.

Like what?

Like you're dressed up
for a night out on the town.

Where's the color,
the Christmas flare?

Uh, I mean...

I think I have
the perfect thing.

We're supposed to meet everyone
in the lobby in like minutes.

Plenty of time to change.

You can't be serious.

When in Rome...

Rome or the North Pole?

Come on. Be a good sport.

"Merry Christmas, Bob!"

said Scrooge with an earnestness
that could not be mistaken,

as he clapped him on the back.

"A merrier Christmas, Bob,
my good fellow,

than I have given you
for many a year.

I will raise your salary

and endeavor to help
your struggling family."

He's quite something.

Rah-rah!

h* h* h*!

Emma, your uncle was just giving
us highlights of his show.

Oh, well, is everyone ready
for some Christmas caroling?

We don't all have
to wear that, do we?

It was your niece's idea.

Yeah, I think you should
wear that into the office.

Well, like she said,
"When in Rome..."

Are you ready to go, Daddy?

How long do you think
this is going to take?

The only thing you need
to worry about right now

is remembering the lyrics
to "Jingle Bells."

Is everybody here?

Where's your aunt?

Sunburn.

Well, if she's not coming,
I don't see why I...

Because you love supporting
your family, that's why.

Okay, everyone,
gather round, gather round.

Every year at Christmastime,

we Howards used to love to join
the hotel's caroling night,

singing and spreading
Christmas joy.

As I recall, William used to
carry you on his shoulders.

Well, you're on your own now,
sweetie,

because my back
ain't what it used to be.

Well I took the liberty of
printing out some of the lyrics,

not that I think
you guys need them.

"Auld Lang Syne?"

Yeah, what about it?

It's not a Christmas song.

Of course it is.

It's an old Scottish folk song.

It has nothing to do
with Christmas.

Except for that it's sung
at Christmastime.

It's sung at New Year's.

Okay, we can worry
about that later.

Shall we begin?

- Let's go.
- Good idea.

She's right.

It's a Christmas song.

Thanks. Do you want this?

Thank you.

It's so beautiful, isn't it?

Um, actually,
I wanted to talk to you.

Oh, yeah?

Emma, these past few years
with you have been magical.

They sure have.

Oh, you know what? We should
take a Christmas photo.

Actually...

Hey, you guys,
can we take a photo?

Would you marry me?

"Nothing would make me
happier, Liam."

- Gather round. Photo.
- You can't take the photo.

- You're part of the family.
- Why don't we wait?

I just was gonna take
something to remember tonight.

Excuse me, ma'am,
can I borrow you for a minute?

Of course.

Well, if it isn't Emma Howard
and her two families.

- You've met?
- Yes.

This is the woman I was telling
you about. This is Nicole.

And how is your aunt doing?

Much better. Thanks.

Would you mind
taking a photo for us?

Of course not.

Why don't we do it
over by the Christmas tree?

- Good idea.
- It's Christmas.

Hey, maybe we should let
Emma and Liam in the front.

It's okay, as long as
we're all in here.

No, he's right. You two kids
should be front and center.

We're not children.

Age before beauty.

Ow! Okay, that's my foot.
My foot! Ow!

I can't see over John's head.

- You always were the short one.
- Can't take you anywhere.

- Move!
- You move!

Hey, why don't we do it
by height?

I'm in the back.

It's not a class photo.
Try to cooperate.

Is everybody ready?

Oh, yeah.

Say candy cane.

Candy cane!

There you go.

Thanks.

Uh...

For Pete's sake, I cannot
take you people anywhere.

Would you mind--

What's up?

She's gone again.

Well, how is it?

Don't ask.

Andrew, watch it!

I'm so, so sorry.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

On that sweater,
you really can't even tell.

Excuse me.

- Yeah.
- Good going, guys, huh?

Merry Christmas.

Thought I might find you here.

I just wanted everyone
to have a good time.

Come on, let's take a walk.

Everyone is
having a good time.

Not like we used to.

Well, what'd you expect?
You're grown up. Everyone has.

They have their own lives,
their own families.

Liam tried so hard, you know?

I believe I saw your father

singing Christmas carols
this evening,

and I'd venture to guess it's
been awhile since he did that.

Yes.

We can't go back in time.

The past is always with us.

You're right.

I can only speak for myself,

but I'm having
a wonderful time.

And those people who love you,

they came from
all over the country

just to spend time with you.

It seems to me that
that is a very Merry Christmas,

don't you think?

Give me a hug, come on.

Okay, let's go back in there

and show them
that big ol' Emma smile.

There it is, there it is.
Come on, sweetheart.

And they're actually interested
in developing the whole parcel.

I'm glad you talked me
into coming.

Hacienda de la Sierra may be our
biggest deal of the new year.

Good going.

Emma.

Emma, wait.

Ay yi yi.

So that's how you
got him to come.

It's not what you think.

We couldn't let the world-famous
Hacienda de la Sierra close

without one less Christmas here,
could we?

I meant it.

I was so... touched

that you wanted
to do that for me.

- I did.
- Are you sure?

Or is it because it's gonna be
the biggest deal of the year?

Okay, so it might have taken
a little motivation

- for your father.
- Yeah, of course.

- But it was all for the family.
- Just tell me the truth, Liam.

Did you want to spend Christmas
here with me,

or did you want to assess
a property with my father?

How could you even ask that?

You're just always trying
to prove yourself to him.

Congratulations.
Looks like you did it.

Just face it. This trip has been
one disaster after another.

That is not true.

And then, surprise!

Nobody wanted to be here anyway.

That is not fair.
Where are you going?

- I need air.
- Emma, wait!

Whoa!

Oh, look at this.

You know, your your mom,
you know,

she used to use the bake
when she was upset.

Liam calls it stress baking.

Nice.

These look good.

I take it that the two of you
have not patched things up yet.

I just don't know
how he could do that.

I don't know
how you could do that.

He did it because
he loves you, Emmy.

And he knows that
your old man is a workaholic

who doesn't always have
his head screwed on right.

More like
screwed on too tight.

Well, I'll tell you,

when Liam came to me
and told me the idea,

I thought it was crazy,

but possibly one of the most
romantic things I've ever heard.

That's not what it seemed like
last night.

I'm sorry you had to find out
that way.

I was going to tell you.

Oh, you were?

Before or after
you tore the place down?

All right, you want
to be mad at somebody?

Be mad at me and not Liam.

I just thought he was going
to be different, you know?

Like for once, I was not
gonna come second to work.

Emmy, is that--
That's how you feel?

Yes.

How am I supposed to feel?

You never took time off.

You never spent any time
with me.

It's like...

after Mom died, you just,

you cared about work
and that was it.

And then when I found out that
you actually came on this trip,

I was...

I was so excited,

like we were gonna spend
Christmas as a family.

It turns out
it was just a business trip.

You don't even know
what family is.

I'm gonna... I'm going...

I'm gonna be upstairs
if you...

if you need me, all right?

Mm-hmm.

You should know something.

These are possibly the best,

most delicious cupcakes
I've ever had.

Well, I hope you've ordered
our famous hot chocolate.

I did. My girlfriend
recommended it.

Smart woman.
Mind if I take a load off?

- Not at all.
- Thanks.

So you're the young man

who brought two families
to the Hacienda.

The one and only.

And just where is that
girlfriend this morning?

Well, I had planned on
asking her to marry me,

but it's almost Christmas,
and we're not speaking,

so what does that tell you?

That tells me
that someone forgot

the real meaning of Christmas.

This trip was supposed
to bring us closer together.

I've never felt further apart.

It was just a misunderstanding.

She heard
part of the conversation

and just jumped to conclusions.

- How did you--
- You should try talking to her.

I tried.

Well, try again.

You make it sound so easy.

No, I get it.

You know, things didn't work out
the way you thought they would,

and, well,
maybe the two families

aren't blending
quite as easily as expected,

but that
and what that represents...

that is everything.

Yeah.

Well, it was nice
to finally meet you.

Thanks for the chat.

And if you ever need anything,
I'm always around.

And, Liam, I wouldn't
worry about it.

Things will work out.
They always do.

Thanks.

Do you think
I should actually...

How does she do that?

Hey, hey.

Hey.

You're up early.

- I couldn't sleep.
- Me either.

Did you talk to Liam?

Not yet. Emma?

I gather she's still upset.

Yeah, well, maybe she's right,
you know?

I mean, I have dedicated
an awful lot of time to my work.

- How do you do it?
- Do what?

You know, be so relaxed
like that, you know?

Just throw caution
to the wind.

Hmm. Well, at our age, is there
really any other way to live?

Oh, boy. You and Emma
must really get along.

We do.

I really hope it's not
our last Christmas together.

Yeah.

You know, I've been thinking.

Liam has done all this for us.

What if we do something for him?
I mean, for both of them.

You don't think it's too late?

Well, in my line of work,

you know, when I sense a deal
maybe going south,

I never run.

I double down.

What'd you have in mind?

Well, you know, it wouldn't be
Christmas at the Hacienda

without a good old-fashioned
holiday hoedown.

Music, there'll be dancing.

Great opportunity
to bring everyone together.

That's great.
It's too bad they canceled it.

What if we uncancel it?

Can we do that?

I'll talk to the owner.

It's Christmas Eve.

That's not a lot of time
to plan a party.

But luckily,
we brought a bunch of help.

True.

In that case, I think we've got
a hoedown to plan.

Okay, all right.

Where do we start?

- Phone calls.
- Okay.

is traditionally

the night of the famous
Hacienda holiday hoedown.

I thought they weren't
having it this year.

They weren't until I talked them
into having it anyway.

What do you mean,
hold it anyway?

He means that if they
won't do it, then we will.

But Christmas Eve is tonight.

That's right. Exactly.

And it is : .

Make what happen,

Live music, dancing...

Food, Santa Claus...

Christmas decorations,

Don't worry about it.

"Christmas snow salad,

Whoo!

Emma, look,

I'm sorry about what happened,

but I think
it's important that--

No, no.

I think the important thing
is that...

Look, I think we need to just
be honest with each other.

Our relationship and our family
should always come first.

No, no, I think
the important thing is that--

- Emma, look, I'm sorry--
- You and I are more important--

I'm sorry.

- You go first.
- No, no, you go.

- I actually think you and I--
- I'm sorry about what happened.

- Let's get out of our way.
- Good idea.

Have a seat.

Emma, I know
I should have told you,

but I honestly thought
that there was a chance

we could save the hotel.

Look, I...

I totally get it.

Ever since my mother
passed away,

I always felt like I came second
to my dad's business.

I don't want you and I
to be like that.

It won't be.

What is it?

Looks like...

an invitation.

"You are cordially invited
to attend the grand farewell

of the Hacienda
Holiday Hoedown

tonight at ."

I thought they said
they canceled it.

- They did.
- I don't get it.

"P.S. Emma and Liam, we strongly
encourage you to attend."

Mom.

Dad.

Well, we can't possibly
say no to that.

We should probably
start getting ready.

Wait.

About us.

It just depends.

On what?

How good
your dancing skills are.

What does one wear
to a holiday hoedown anyway?

Something you would wear
for a night out on the town.

I was thinking something
with a little more color.

Maybe a little Christmas flare.

Oh. I think I have
the perfect thing.

Yeah, I thought you might.

This is it.

Tonight's the night.

Don't blow it.

that I have been known to throw

Oh, they're here.

Wow.

I didn't think
they had it in 'em.

That makes two of us.

Want a drink?

- Sure.
- All right, I'll be right back.

Hey, John.

Hello, Liam.
Would you like one?

Yeah, yeah. Did you guys
really do all this?

The plan was William's idea.
He thought Emma would enjoy it.

Is it working?

Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'd say so.

Did you bring the thing?

I did. Right there.

Hey, don't be nervous.
You got this.

What do you have?

Interest you in a salted

Wow. This is amazing.

- Did you make all these?

from this side

because these over here,
they're a little well done.

Hmm. Will do.

you guys did all this.

and my sister.

They did it all.

They really do work well
together, don't they?

Yeah.

But they're not
the only ones.

Yeah.

Thank you!
Thank you very much!

Yeah!

Is everybody
feeling good tonight!

I said is everybody
feeling good tonight?

All right, well, we got
a slow one we're gonna play now,

if there's any couples
out there in the audience, so...

Do you wanna dance?

All right.

- Here we go.
- Ah.

All right.

Thank you.

Later on, we'll-- What?

What is it?

Okay.

Ah, just a little
Christmas surprise.

Okay.

Hmm.

Hey, everyone.

My man Liam in the back
wants to say something.

Go for it.

Thank you.

All right, first of all,

I want to thank the Howard
and O'Brien families

for putting this party
together, huh?

Let's give 'em
a round of applause.

Look at our nephew!
So handsome.

Whoo-hoo!

Emma, would you mind joining me
up here for a moment?

You know, when I had the idea
to bring everybody here,

all I could think about
was giving my girlfriend

one last Christmas
at this wonderful place.

And now that I've
experienced it myself,

I can see just how special
this place is.

Emma...

I know we've had our ups
and downs these past few days,

but this morning when I was
walking around without you,

I had plenty of time to think.

What I came to realize...

was that I never want
to be without you.

Neither do I.

Emma...

these past few years
have been magical.

I'm the happiest
I've ever been,

and it's all because of you.

You've inspired me
to see the world

in a completely different way,

and because of you,
I'm a better person.

But the only thing that would
make this Christmas more special

would be if you agree to spend
the rest of your life with me.

Emma Howard...

will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes.

It's the best Christmas ever.

Hey, congratulations.

I'm so happy for you two.

Give me a hug.

Dad.

- I'm so happy for you.
- Thank you, Dad.

Look, I don't know about
the timing on this,

but, Emmy, I know how buried
in my job I've been lately,

and you might think
that I've been using it

as an excuse to hide and...

and, well, you'd be right.

And you, you tried extra hard
to get me to come on this trip,

and if I would have missed
this Christmas,

I would have missed
the best time of my life

because it made me realize
what's really important.

You really mean that?

Oh, yes.

Now about the hotel...

um, as of tomorrow,

it will be transferred
to our hotel division.

- What?
- Really?

Where it will remain
in operation

for many years
and Christmases to come,

under the supervision of
our new junior vice president.

Me?

Who would I trust more

with the hotel
or my daughter?

Uh... wow.

You know what
we're gonna need though?

We're gonna need
a top-notch PR manager.

You know, someone who can really
let everyone know out there

about our exciting new resort.

If you know anybody like that,
please let me know.

You know, I might have
a few people in mind.

Yeah, mm-hmm.

All right,
enough about business.

We got a hoedown to enjoy!

I love you guys.
And congratulations.

Did you know about this?

I'm no Sherlock Emmy.

What do you say?

You want to help me
run this place?

Well, I couldn't let you
run it by yourself, could I?

Ooh.

But what do we do about them?

We're gonna remember
that they can be crazy,

we're gonna remember
that they can be wonderful,

but most importantly,

we're gonna remember
to take some time for ourselves.

Yeah.

That's a good-looking couple.

Hey, you guys.

Hey, I appreciate it.

Give me a hug.

Good job. You did it!

Great.

WILLIAM Hey, sweetie, where are you?

Well, Mr. O'Brien,
your folio, sir.

Thank you.

On behalf of
the Hacienda de la Sierra,

we look forward to seeing
the two of you again very soon.

Well, you can count on it.

Oh, I almost forgot.
You have a package.

We do?

Yes. Actually, it's, uh,
it's for you.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Well, Sherlock Emmy,
what do you think it is?

"To Emma, here's a little piece
of this place

to take with you
when you leave."

- Nicole?
- Mm-hmm.

Let's see.

- Ah!
- Oh, wow.

Look at that.

It's perfect.

- Will you do me a big favor?
- Anything.

Will you please tell her
thank you so much?

Who?

Nicole. She's the employee
that left this here for me.

Well, I don't know
who left that,

but we have no one
who works here by that name.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
she's got dark hair,

works behind the desk,
been here forever.

Nicole Ludlow, the founder?

Yes, that's her.

That's impossible.
She died years ago.

Huh.

Hmm.

Thank you.

You don't think that...

No.

What is it?

I thought I saw someone.

What?

It's nothing.
Come on, let's go.

So... you had a good time?

Best Christmas ever.
