The Good Witch's Gift Page #3

Cassie, I want you to

wake up Christmas morning

with the family you've always wanted.

We're going to put the

magic back in Christmas

for you and the kids and George,

and on Christmas morning we'll

wake up one, big, happy family.

We have some news.

We finally set a date for the wedding!

When is it going to be?

Christmas Eve.

- That's great!

- That's um...

Yeah, six days, I know.

Is it going to be at Grey House?

I would think Grey House is

going to be a little too cozy

for our guests.

We wouldn't want to leave anyone out.

Uh... can you get it together that fast?

We're going to need everyone's help.

Starting right now.

Who wants to help me do some baking?

I do!

How 'bout you, George?

Uh, I'm feeling a little tired.

I think I'll take a nap.

It's going to be a perfect wedding.

- Yeah.

- A magical wedding.

Come on!

I'm afraid we might need more than magic.

I think we may need a miracle.

Hmm, well, fortunately this

is the season of miracles.

Thank you. No, I tried to object, Gwen.

Martha can't tell me what

to paint on my own sign.

Well, I'm just about...

I'm going to call you back later.

Hello, Martha.

- Coffee?

- Actually, that's not why I'm here.

Martha, I told you... I just

can't afford to re-paint my sign.

Whatever you think best.

Um... okay. Then...

what can I do for you?

Betty...

I've decided to take a more...

hands-on approach to

helping our community.

How do you mean?

Well, I thought I could start right here.

Perhaps as a hostess,

welcoming people as they enter.

Are you asking me for a job?

In a manner of speaking.

I simply thought that with the holidays,

you might use a little assistance.

You know, I might have an opening.

Why don't you just let me

talk to Marty in the kitchen.

In the kitchen? Oh, no, no, no!

I thought something perhaps that

would showcase my people skills!

Such as a hostess!

Leon Deeks was about to

rob that cash register

until my wife threw her hip into it.

Martha... stopped a robbery with her hips?

I hope you're not joking, Deputy,

because this is no laughing matter.

I'm aware that Leon Deeks

is back in Middleton, Mayor Tinsdale.

What are you doing about it?

Well, first of all, we're

going to have to talk with

all the business owners in Middleton.

We do not want a repeat of

that Shelbyville Bank job

10 years ago.

No, sir, we do not.

That's why I'm keeping my eye on him.

24/7, Jake.

This town is flush with holiday cash.

For the next week,

Leon Deeks is your one and only priority.

A DJ for the reception?

What sort of music?

All sorts!

Yeah, that's right,

and any Christmas carols you can dance to.

Thank you!

Ah, dried sage, sprinkled sea salt...
