Rocky Mountain Christmas Page #2

---

I'll meet you down here.

Great.

Ah!

I didn't think you were

coming home this Christmas.

I had a last-minute

change of plans

oh, I'm so happy.

Paige, you're going

to have to stop hugging me,

or people are going

to start talking.

Oh, who cares.

Let 'em talk.

Oh, gosh! Yay!

Look,

nobody loves the Christmas

parade more than me,

but I am swamped

this year with work.

Besides, I don't have

the creative genius

that runs

in your family.

You could probably do it

with your eyes closed.

Honestly, Paige,

I came on this vacation

because I wanted

to get away from work,

not pick up

another project.

But just out

of curiosity,

if you were in charge

of the parade,

how would you decorate?

Well, I would definitely use

aunt Beth's giant candy canes,

and then I would take

the pine boughs

with the red and green lanterns,

and I'd put them up

over there,

and I'd get

all the storefronts

to paint their windows

with different scenes

from the advent calendar,

and then for

a real country Christmas feel,

I'd use Mason jars

with lights

and twig garlands

all along the route.

-That'd be perfect.

-Go on.

Oh...

No, I see what you're doing.

Nice try!

No, Paige...

I just want to relax.

Okay, fine...

And I'm not saying this

to make you feel guilty,

but you know that this was

aunt Beth's pride and joy.

I know, but I just...

I just spent

the past hour

telling you

about my broken heart.

Well,

this will help keep you busy

and help you forget

Mr. what's-his-name.

Besides, you know

you are the only person

who could ever replace her.

Agh! okay!

Fine!

Fine, I will...

I will do it,

but I'm doing this

for aunt Beth.

Okay, so...

These are some flyers

i had printed up

for the Christmas parade

when I thought

i could still do it.

Convenient.

Well, at least

we'll have the parade.

You know, my uncle Roy

doesn't want to do

the tree-lighting ceremony

this year.

Yeah, I heard.

Everyone's talking about it.

[Sighs]

I knew this Christmas

was going to be different.

Guess I was just hoping

that some things

would stay the same.

Okay, you know what?

That's it.

I am taking the rest

of the afternoon off,

and you are

coming with me.

Uh-oh.

What have you

got planned?

Just wait and see.

I'll go get

my coat.

You were right.

This is exactly

what I needed.

Starting to feel

the Christmas spirit already.

Well, that's great.

It's about time.

How long are you

in town for, anyway?

I've got to be back

in the office

in nine days.

Hopefully, news of my breakup

will have died down by then.

I'm just glad you saw

this guy's true colors

before it was too late.

Should have never

dated a celebrity.

What was I thinking?
