How about this one, Mom?
It's nice, but we need
to keep it under 9 feet.
Twelve-footer, ma'am. You won't
find a prettier tree than that.
Thanks, but our ceilings aren't that high.
There's another one over here.
How do we get the tree on top of the car?
I don't know.
Mom, I think we should call Dad.
- Hi, Clare.
- Why?
To come put the tree on top of the car.
No, Jess, we can do it.
We can't reach. It's heavy, Mom.
No, I'm listening.
It makes her feel bad.
I know we decided on a matte
finish for the master bath.
I thought you were in Tahiti.
I didn't go. Henry had a meeting in China.
How fast can you get here?
You are so good to come, Jackie...
...but the painters took off.
And I have this tasting...
- Hi, kids.
- Hi.
...with the caterer for
Henry's Christmas party.
I'm so sorry.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
We just drove a half an hour to get here.
I know, sweetie.
You should fire her.
I can't fire her. She's my client.
So, fire her anyway.
No. She's my boss. It doesn't work that way.
Come on, honey.
Come on, Mom. Careful!
- Mom...
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Take this, Will.
Okay.
Okay.
This way.
Okay. So, I'm gonna put this together.
...and then we'll put the
Christmas tree through here.
You guys will lift it up and hold it.
...and I will tighten the screws.
Well, Daddy has a very smart one.
Yeah, Dad has the new no-tip,
no-tilt, tap-a-toe stand.
Well, we have this perfectly
lovely little Christmas tree stand.
...that's been around
since before you were born.
It's very old.
Well, we don't trade it in.
...just because there's
something new out there.
So, we are gonna honor
this Christmas tree stand.
Even if it is old.
There.
Can we put the lights on?
Yeah.
You know, let's take a break and eat.
No, not yet.
Melinda lets us eat when we want.
Well, that's because Melinda is Daddy's
girlfriend and not your mother...
...and it's not her job to
tell you when to eat. It's mine.
So let's eat.
I just think that when you're
dealing with a print fabric...
...it's always best to coordinate
from the background color.
And keep the accents the same
throughout? The magnolia white?
Or Barcelona white, which is warmer.
And one last thing I meant to ask you.
This Christmas party,
Jackie, we'd love to have you.
I know it's your first
Christmas since the divorce.
Well, thank you. That's so sweet...
...but I'm spending
Christmas Eve with my kids.
But thanks for thinking of me.
I know how the holidays can be.
Yeah. I appreciate it.
See you in the morning.
Okay.
That looks so good.
Okay, we've got 10 minutes.
Will, would you get the music?
- Can I DJ?
- Yes, you can.
- Yes.
- And Jess...
- Okay, put these two in the dining room.
- Okay.
- And that on the bar. That'd be great.
- Okay.
- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, Jess. Merry Christmas!
Hi, Melinda.
Merry Christmas.
Hi.
Thought we would save
some time in the morning.
...by delivering the presents tonight.
Dan, my Christmas party's about to start.
It is?
Hi, Melinda.
Hi, Jackie.
Could you just put those
presents under the Christmas tree?
That'd be great.
Okay.
I see you got Will a snowboard.
Yeah. I wanted him to have it for the trip.
I thought we said no big gifts. We agreed.
It's not a competition, Jackie.
Can I turn this off?
Yeah, you know what? I'm running late.
Don't let the kids stay up too late tonight.
I need them by 9:00. Flight's at noon.
Jackie, this one's for you.
Daniel said it's your birthday this week.
It is. Thank you.
Turning the big 4-0. Wow.
