the mansion into the library.

My husband was convinced

that it was his idea,

but it really wasn't.

I knew it took a woman to think of that.

Turned out pretty well, didn't it?

It certainly did.

Yeah, I know...

It's just a wonderful place.

It's just so full of

promise and potential.

Cheri, I'd do anything

to save it if I could.

But you're the head of

the Shaughnessy Foundation.

The final decision is yours.

And I've decided.

Tony's been working on

this project for years,

and I'm not going to

take it away from him.

I'm sorry, lamb,

but family is more

important on this one.

That looks great.

Oh, dude, awesome.

Hey, Cheri!

Coming to check on us?

Well, I heard we had quite a bunch

of talented artists down here.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Of course not. We're happy to show off.

Deirdre, how are things at the gallery?

Busy.

I feel like I live there,

but I had to sneak away

for these guys.

I just got my first real Christmas tree,

and as I was decorating it,

I thought how a Christmas

tree is a representation -

not just of the holiday

- but of our lives.

You know, each one tells

a story of who we are.

Are you okay?

I think I just had an a-ha moment.

Hello.

Thank you everyone for turning out

for the annual Shaughnessy

Library Toy Drive.

For those of you who don't know me,

I'm Cheri Jamison.

I'm the children's librarian here.

Actually, looking around,

most of you look familiar.

Which means you're

regulars. So, this year,

we are going to shake

things up a little bit.

We're going to have a contest.

A Christmas tree decorating contest.

And we want everyone

to decorate their tree

based on the theme

what the Shaughnessy

Library means to me.

Which means you could pick anything

- a literary theme,

or you could choose to decorate a tree

which represents something

that you've learnt here.

Maybe a skill, or a

craft, or even a language.

It's totally up to you.

We will assign you a tree

and then on Christmas Eve -

along with the toy drive

- we will light up

all of the trees and

then the night will end

at seven o'clock with the judging.

Okay!

Are there any questions?

How many trees will there be?

Twelve.

And they'll be displayed

in the banquet room.

Uh, I just heard a

rumor that they're going

to tear down the library.

Well, that's why this

contest is so great.

It will be an opportunity

for us to show the community

how important the

library is to all of us.

The rumors are true.

There hasn't been an

official announcement yet,

but the Shaughnessy Library

is as of now scheduled

to be shut down and raised.

What?

We're hoping for a miracle.

At least if we go, we

go in a blaze of glory.
