We're going

to make ourselves

some Christmas wishes.

We are going

all out this year!

It is going to be

our best Christmas yet.

Not until I change first.

Okay.

[Mom]:
The gingerbread

houses are ready,

and Mae is at the shop today,

so you can go in

and pick those up!

The bakery is just swimming

in gingerbread.

I have so many orders.

Merry Christmas.

My elf will give you

a candy cane,

so off you go!

Come on over, ladies!

Oh, everybody's welcome.

Age is just a number,

and I-- I am in

the wish-granting business.

It has been

far too long

since you had

a real Christmas.

You go first.

No, no.

I'm still thinking.

Go ahead.

Okay, because

my list is long,

and I intend

to get everything.

[Chuckling]

Santa.

So, what do you want

for Christmas,

young-- and I do mean

"young"-- lady?

Stop.

Now, I wrote everything down,

lest you forget anything.

And my first wish came true,

because my girl came home.

Next, I need a new mixer...

Beth?

Barry.

Wow! It is you.

-Hi.

-Hey.

-Hey.

[Man]:

Is that Beth Baker?

Can I set this thing down?

Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead. Set it down.

[Out of breath] This guy...

Picks the heaviest tree

on the lot.

Some things never change.

Hi, Dean.

Beth Baker is in town.

That she is.

It's been

a long time.

[Toddler babbles]

There's daddy

with the tree!

Daddy with the what?

Barry, honey...

We have been looking for you

everywhere.

We have to pay for that tree,

you know.

Look at what that is.

There it is!

[Laughs awkwardly]

Beth? Wow!

Hi!

Uh, Taylor...

This is mommy and daddy's

old friend, Beth.

Can you say hi?

Say hi!

Barry and Eileen

are married!

I didn't-- Barry and Eileen

are married!

Going on five years.

Wow! Wow. She's beautiful.

Thank you!

We think so.

But then again,

you know,

we're a little

biased here.

Beth and mommy

did drama together!

All of the plays.

The plays!

Yeah, the plays!

Exactly.

And then she left

and I guess we lost touch.

It's good to see you.

How are you?

Crazed, as usual.

We promised Taylor

that we'd get the Christmas tree

up today,

so she's very excited.

But, luckily,

Dean has been very helpful.

Listen, we're going to go

to the pub later.

Why don't you join us?

My mother's going to come

to look after Taylor,

and I want to hear all about

your fascinating life

in New York.

You know, I'm supposed to

help my mom put up the lights.

Oh! Dean can help you

with that tomorrow.

Yeah, they're always

volunteering me for things.

Must be what it's like

to be born a weakling,

you know, like Barry.

Hey! This "weakling"

beat you for

all-state in wrestling,

even though

you're bigger than me.

And he still won
