Finding Father Christmas Page #2

I figured you'd

follow in her footsteps.

Nope.

I suppose not.

I was here that night.

It was..

- Sure, I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

Anyway, uh, when I found this,

I remembered Eve had a daughter.

And I thought

if I could find you..

...you might like to have it.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Thank you so much.

Oh.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[sighs]

[music continues]

What..

Miranda.

And who are you?

"Carlton Heath, Vermont."

[instrumental music]

"Carlton Heath, Vermont."

[music continues]

[sighs]

He's still there.

Merry Christmas..

"Carlton Heath."

Yeah, it's a small town

in Vermont.

I looked it up. It's beautiful.

It's like a Christmas card.

Maybe when your mother

was on tour.

I thought of that.

In all of her years of touring

she was never in Vermont.

- "The Tempest."

- Mm-hmm.

When I was a little girl, I

asked her how she chose my name

and she told me she did a

production of "The Tempest"

in San Francisco.

She played Miranda.

And she always loved the name.

Well, if she had such

fond memories of the show

why hide the program?

And what does a little boy

in Vermont

have to do with Shakespeare

and California?

There could be a dozen reasons

she kept that picture.

But why keep it hidden?

Maybe she wasn't ready

to talk about it?

No, she could talk to me

about anything.

She was always honest with me.

The only thing she didn't talk

to me about was my father.

Miranda, you don't know

that this has anything

to do with him.

This was hers.

I remember.

She wore it all the time.

The only time she ever took it

off was when she was on stage.

And I think it's from that

same town in Vermont.

But she was never there.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

But my whole life,

I've wondered who he was.

And now I feel like

I finally have a clue.

I have to do something.

I have to find out.

[instrumental music]

(Miranda)

'No, everything's fine,

Annie.'

It was a spur

of the moment trip.

I'll be on my cell

if you need me, and..

...I don't know

how long I'll be here.

Santa Claus is comin'

to town

All the kids

they're jumpin' up and down

The holidays begin

And there's a new year

comin' in

People playing

out at the park

There's a snowman smiling

in the dark

Have a very, very

Happy, Happy Christmas

Welcome to the Carlton Heath

Inn. Seattle? Oh, my goodness.

You're a long way from home.

What brings you

to our little town?

Uh, just visiting.

Well, you picked

the perfect time of the year.

Oh, yeah, it's beautiful.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

My name is Katherine.

I am the owner of the inn

along with my husband, Andrew.

If you need anything,

please don't hesitate to ask.
