She hears a sound outside and thinks it's her grandpa. She runs out and, for some reason, bursts into Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Then she goes back in and sings a song that—honestly—makes it sound like she's in love with her grandpa. I don't know.There's a knock at the door. She grabs her gun and finds a wounded Yankee outside. Even though helping him could get her in trouble, she brings him in and stitches him up. He falls asleep, wakes up, and hears her sing O Holy Night—after which he just casually mumbles that he loves her.They eat and sing Up on the Housetop together, which somehow inspires her to decorate for Christmas. There's something off about this guy, but I can't quite place it. Then he recites A Visit from St. Nicholas and asks her to sing again, so they do The First Noel.That's when he breaks the news: her grandpa isn't coming home. He says they spent hours together by a fire, had a heart-to-heart, grandpa wrote a poem to God…and then died. To cope, she sings Silent Night. Naturally.They have a quick “nuanced” conversation about slavery and then immediately slide into What Child Is This. She says goodnight, and that's when he drops the bomb: he actually killed her grandpa after grandpa shot him in the back. Oh, and by the way, they knew each other as kids and were first loves. He gives her another letter from grandpa, and they cap it all off by singing a slow version of Jingle Bells.He proposes, she says yes, and they celebrate on the porch. Then—plot twist—it turns out they're in one of Krampus' snow globes, and suddenly everything makes sense.

Reunited with his old partner Jacob Marley, a no longer quite so Tiny Tim, and his beloved sister Fan, together they are tasked with earning their own redemptions, and regaining Scrooge's second chance, by crossing over time and the mortal plane to help guide others who are in danger of losing their way.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR EBENEZER THE TRAVELER:December 6, 2024 | VODCAST & CREW OF EBENEZER THE TRAVELER:Jerry Parisi as Ebenezer ScroogeAmanda Rae Dodson as Fan ScroogeMichael Bertolini as Jacob MarleyAusten Shane as Tiny TimLeland Prater as Simon OnyxBRAN'S EBENEZER THE TRAVELER SYNOPSIS:The movie starts with a man, Simon Onyx, looking straight into the camera and asking us what we're doing here. Well, obviously—we're here to figure out why the heck Ebenezer Scrooge is in present-day Oklahoma.Flash back to London, 1809. We get the classic Christmas Carol story to catch us up: heartbreak, dead business partner, three ghosts, merry Christmas—you know the drill.Scrooge returns to his house, thrilled over a shiny quarter. But then, the ghosts kill him. He comes face-to-face with Simon Onyx, who refuses to give him any real answers. Instead, Simon explains that Scrooge still has a shot at redemption. Simon opens a flaming book, and suddenly, Scrooge disappears.He's hurled forward seven years and finds himself standing alongside Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan—all dead. They reveal that Scrooge himself was murdered, and now the four of them are bound together, dependent on one another for redemption. Oh, and Fan? She's Scrooge's sister, though he doesn't remember her.They wander around purgatory for a while, collecting mirrors that let them glimpse the soul they're meant to save: a woman named Angel.Cut to present-day Oklahoma. Their mission begins at a bar called The Boar's Den. Scrooge is immediately tossed out, so they seek out Angel's mom to learn more about her. Eventually, they track Angel to her workplace—a thrift store, oddly enough, run by a young version of Ebenezer Scrooge. Angel is fired for being too kind.Out of options, she goes to The Boar's Den for a job. The shady owner assures her he can “find something that'll work for a beautiful woman like you.” Bad vibes all around.Since Angel's true dream is to become a singer, Scrooge and Fan work to make it happen. They rescue her from the big bad guy and connect her with a local music manager. On Christmas Eve, Angel gets her chance to shine at a showcase—and she nails it. Her life is saved.As for Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan? Looks like they're still stuck in purgatory.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Gregory: Vulnerability.Filmmaker Gregory Falatek is channeling his creative energy into a captivating psychological thriller, Elmwood Park, set in his hometown of Norristown, Pennsylvania. With this project, Gregory is not only telling an intriguing story but also building a bridge between art and community through crowdfunding on WeFunder, where anyone can invest in the film for as little as $100.The film, a 90s-era psychological thriller, follows three high school seniors in a post-industrial East Coast town as they navigate a series of events after witnessing a murder. Gregory explained that the story draws on his own experiences growing up in Norristown, as well as his observations of the town's transformation. “This story came to me based on a lot of kind of past experiences. And I just took that and kind of heightened it into fiction,” Gregory shared.After spending a decade in Los Angeles honing his skills in acting and directing—two of his films even premiered at Cannes—Gregory returned to his roots in Pennsylvania. Inspired by the town's history and architecture, he envisioned Elmwood Park as more than just a thrilling night at the movies. “It's not just an exciting kind of thriller of a film… but it also could serve over time as like an architectural time capsule of this place,” he said.Crowdfunding plays a pivotal role in turning this vision into reality. Gregory saw platforms like WeFunder as a way to democratize investing in film. “What I liked about it is… you don't just get a T-shirt. You get actual ownership in the film and can collect on it for the rest of your life,” he explained. By inviting the community to invest, he hopes to inspire others to pursue creative endeavors, just as he was inspired by local role models like Kate Flannery, a fellow Norristown native and actor known for The Office.Gregory's approach is refreshingly inclusive. He shared, “Even if it makes one kid around here think that they can make a film… I think that's super important.” By leveraging crowdfunding to connect with his community, Gregory is creating an opportunity for people to feel both figuratively and literally invested in the film.Filmmaking is no small feat, but Gregory's blend of creativity, vulnerability, and community-focused strategy is proof that art can thrive outside traditional Hollywood systems. Visit to learn more about this project and how you can be part of it.tl;dr:Gregory Falatek shares how Elmwood Park, a psychological thriller, draws on his hometown's history.Crowdfunding on WeFunder enables the public to invest in Elmwood Park for as little as $100.Gregory highlights how returning to Norristown inspired him to preserve local architecture and culture.Vulnerability, Gregory's superpower, fuels his creativity and helps him connect with others authentically.Gregory invites everyone to join the project, emphasizing community impact and the democratization of film.How to Develop Vulnerability As a SuperpowerGregory's superpower is his ability to embrace vulnerability, a skill he credits for enhancing his creativity and human connection. He explained, “I think my creativity comes from being open and vulnerable, actually, in my art.” Gregory shared that growing up, he struggled with being misunderstood, which made him hesitant to open up. Over time, he learned that vulnerability allows for deeper connections, both in life and on screen. “You need this deep sense of vulnerability to make [characters] human… even if you're being funny about it,” he said.Gregory recalled his first feature film as a pivotal moment where he embraced vulnerability. Playing a “burnout type” character, he had to let go of self-consciousness to bring authenticity to the role. Surrounded by cameras and crew, he stayed true to his character, ensuring the performance resonated with humanity and heart. His openness not only elevated his acting but also helped him connect with the people around him, demonstrating the power of vulnerability in creating impactful art.Actionable Tips for Developing Vulnerability:Open Up in Everyday Conversations: Practice vulnerability by being honest and open in your daily interactions with others.Avoid Judging Yourself or Others: Approach creative work and relationships without judgment, allowing for genuine connections.Learn from Observation: Pay attention to how others express vulnerability, and apply those insights to your own life.Embrace Discomfort: Accept that being vulnerable may feel awkward at first, but it leads to growth and connection.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make vulnerability a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    At just two years old, Terry Tran fled Vietnam by boat with his parents, was rescued after days lost at sea, and spent months on a Malaysian refugee island. It was there, on Christmas Eve, that a storm claimed his father's life, leaving his 21-year-old mother widowed with a toddler to raise.    From those humble beginnings, Terry has built a life of financial freedom, not through shortcuts but through patience, persistence and following a clear process. Along the way, he was also shaped by the kindness of others, a reminder that generosity can change lives.    In this conversation, Terry shares how he started from almost nothing, the mistakes he made chasing quick wins, and the principles he now follows to protect and grow wealth. He talks about the role of risk management and how the mindset farmers use to work through seasons is the same mindset needed to succeed as an investor.    We also explore Terry's view on the global share markets. He explains why US-China tensions and trade tariffs have left markets sitting at unsustainable highs, why Australia may face deflation rather than inflation, and why he is holding larger cash positions to stay prepared. Most importantly, he reminds us that downturns, while uncomfortable, are often when the best opportunities appear.    Specifically, we explore:  Why managing risk and protecting your capital must always come first  How to avoid “get-rich-quick” traps and instead build wealth through discipline and compounding  How global tensions and tariffs are shaping markets, and why Australia may face deflation  Why downturns like the GFC and COVID-19 can be the best times to invest if you're prepared     For farmers, this is both a story and a lesson. The same qualities that get you through tough seasons on-farm can also build lasting wealth off farm.    And there's more. Terry is running an exclusive webinar for the Farm Owners Academy Community on Tuesday evening, 23rd September. This is your chance to go deeper, learn directly from him, and build the skills to invest safely and confidently.    Click the link to register your interest: https://www.thefreedomtrader.com/farmownersacademy/    Thank you, Terry, for sharing your journey and wisdom with such openness.

Authorities ruled that they had perished in the blaze—but no bones, no teeth, no trace was ever found. For decades, the Sodders pursued every lead: strange threats, severed phone lines, vanished ladders, mysterious sightings, and even a cryptic photograph claiming one child had survived. Was it a tragic fire, or something far more sinister? In this episode, we unravel one of America's most haunting family mysteries—the disappearance of the Sodder children.

During a historic Christmas Eve telecast—the first from lunar orbit, broadcast in black and white—the astronauts, after much deliberation, read the first twelve verses of Genesis from the Old Testament, aiming to share a message of goodwill to the world.

    Come As You Are: GideonJudges 6:12-16 “The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty warrior.” Gideon answered him, “But sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?' But now the Lord has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian.”  Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; I hereby commission you.” He responded, “But sir, how can I deliver Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike down the Midianites, every one of them.”I really like this story because it is one that most of us can relate to.  Well, not the first verse probably.  I doubt too many of us have been visited by an angel.  The verse starts off by telling us that an angel appeared to Gideon and told him the Lord was with him, and then called him a mighty warrior.  I find it interesting how Gideon answered the angel.  I feel that I would be in shock and probably speechless if the angel of God were to speak to me.  If he told me that God was with me, I think I would say thank you or be in awe.  Gideon is not speechless, and it doesn't sound like he is in awe.  He questions the angel.  He says, “But sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?' But now the Lord has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Midian.”  Those are some pretty gutsy things to say to an angel.  The angel said The Lord is with you and Gideon basically said, “Oh yeah, how?  We don't see it. What has He done for us lately?” With this being written text, we don't know the tone or volume this was said with.  I picture Gideon being angry and almost yelling it at the angel.  However, I could be wrong; he could have matter-of-factly stated it to him.  Either way, Gideon did not believe what the angel said, and he wanted an explanation, or some sort of proof that God was for them.Next the angel says, “Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; I hereby commission you.” The angel does not answer his question as to where God has been.  The angel looks at Gideon and then tells him to go and lead the fight with Midian to deliver his people.  Gideon's response is a response that I think most of us have when God commissions us for a task.  We question it, we tell Him we aren't ready, we aren't good enough, we don't know how, we aren't strong enough.  We question God as if He, the one who created us, did not know all these things about us when he commissioned us for that task.   When Gideon was told that he was commissioned to defeat  Midian, he said, “But sir, how can I deliver Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”Gideon was counting himself out before he even got started.  He looked at his family and his place in that family and judged his abilities on that.  He felt God must have made a mistake.  How could he be a mighty warrior when his family was the weakest and he was the least in his family?  Does this sound familiar?  Do you ever count yourself out of things because of your family or your history with your family?  I can understand a bit of what Gideon was feeling.  I am from a large family, and we didn't have a lot of money growing up.  When I was in school, if there was a big field trip, I immediately counted myself out.  There was no way my parents could afford the cost of the trip when they could barely afford their bills.  In seventh grade, my French class was taking a trip to Quebec for a few days.  I think the cost was $450 or something like that.  I knew I wouldn't be able to go.  I am not even sure if I asked my parents or if I just counted myself out.  One day after school, the French teacher talked with me and asked if I wanted to go on the trip.  I explained I did, but my parents couldn't afford it.  She said there was a scholarship, and so if my parents could afford some of it, the school could pay the rest.  Somehow, my parents were able to pay whatever part they had to pay, and I was able to go.  Another way I can relate to Gideon is when he said he was the least of his family.  I don't think I was the least of my family, and yet, having a large family, you are bound to be compared to your siblings. Others are bound to compare you as well.  I remember one Christmas Eve party at my aunt's house, one of my uncles saw me and was trying to figure out which child I was.  My mom is one of 10 children, and I am one of 11, so you can imagine how many kids were at this Christmas Eve party.  He said Oh, you are the smart one who is going to Yale, right?  Nope, that is Virginia.  Oh, you are the one who just got that cheerleading award, nope, that is Elizabeth.  Got it, you are the one that is having open heart surgery, nope, that is Theresa,  Oh, who are you then? He said.  I wasn't really sure how to respond to that one.  I didn't know which distinguishing characteristic might have been used to describe me.  We can all get stuck thinking we are who our family says we are.  We can get stuck thinking we can't do certain things because of our history.  We know God is calling us to something, and yet we don't answer that call because we don't think we can do it.  Instead of giving God our whole-hearted yes, we give Him a list of reasons why we are not the right person for the job.  In the very beginning of this verse, the angel of God addresses Gideon as a mighty warrior, and yet he questions that.  What name is God calling you that you are dismissing?  Is it son/daughter of the one true King?  Is it Beloved?  Is it Mighty Warrior?  Is it Gifted Healer? Is it Disciple?  Is it Preacher/Teacher?  Is it Worthy or Enough? What name do you hear God calling you, and yet you struggle to accept?  God does not make mistakes.  He is the Lord God Almighty.  If He calls you something, it is because that is your name to Him.  That is who you are in His eyes!What task is God commissioning you for that you are resisting?  Is there something you feel called to do, and instead of telling God yes, you are giving him a whole host of reasons why you cannot do it?  Is he asking you to do something, and you are explaining to him why anyone else would be better for the job?  I get it, I do the same, and yet God is telling us here in this story of Gideon that we need to believe what the Lord says about it and just go out and do it.  Stop trying to tell God who you are; He knows who you are better than you do.  Stop trying to find all these excuses why you can't do the thing God is telling you to do.  Start trying to figure out how to do the thing God is leading you to do.  Stop and ask God, What would you like me to do today?  If you don't know how to do what He is calling you to do, then ask Him how He would like you to do it.  Our God is a wonderful God, and He will answer us when we ask.  Answer the call God is placing on your life today with a resounding Yes!  Trust that if He gave it to you, He will help you fulfill it!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode.  Lord, we are so grateful that you know us better than we know ourselves.  Thank you for loving us so much and being the best dad out there.  Thank you for calling us by our true identity, even when we struggle to see it.  Lord, help us to see ourselves and the world through your eyes.  Father, thank you for commissioning us to certain tasks.  We are sorry we don't always say yes.  It is not because we don't want to, it is because we are afraid.  Please replace that fear with courage and strength.  Make us bold so we can say yes to whatever you ask.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I am starting a new series for the next 31 days. It is called “Come As You Are” and we will take a look at 31 different characters in the Bible who did not look like anything special to the rest of the world, and yet the Lord used them powerfully. I keep telling you, at the end of almost every episode, that Jesus loves you, just as you are. Yet, if you are like me, it can still be hard to believe that at times. Often we feel we have to change first before Jesus loves us. I am hoping that after this series, you will be able to believe me more when I say that each day. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

If you don't know, Steve is actually the Steve of Steve's Donut. He's also played with Sara Bareilles, Owl City, Mat Kearney, and Scary Pockets, to name a few. But more than the resume, I was reminded how insightful he is. There's this part where he talks about there being no neutral notes—like, every note carries weight, it's never just filler. That idea has been rattling around in my head ever since I revisited the chat.

    Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld – the only person to serve as CEO of two Fortune 500 companies on different continents (Alcoa in the US, Siemens in Germany), global advisor, founder of K2 Elevation, angel investor, and author of Leading to Thrive. First Dollars & Early Hustle: At 12, worked illegally at a supermarket in Germany, later launched a Santa Claus business delivering gifts (and family messages!) on Christmas Eve. Early work taught the value of money, the realities of management at all levels, and why people must create and be paid for value. Mindset Developed by Adversity: Father died at age 10, grew up with a strong sense of self-reliance and urgency to earn. Immigrant family background; learned that “money is freedom” and that every dollar earned created options. Time spent with East German relatives instilled the lesson that money only matters if it can actually buy value. Spiritual & Emotional Energy: Foundation in faith (Protestant roots) was a crucial “anchor” through hard times and later in life. Dr. Kleinfeld's new book, Leading to Thrive, stresses the four types of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Advocates for not shying away from love, gratitude, and faith even in the corporate world—even if those topics are often taboo at the boardroom level. Career Guidance & Advancement: Career wasn't about status, but about maximizing freedom and value creation. The path to more money: “Money comes in exchange for creating value—become indispensable and you'll gain negotiating power.” Focus less on salary and more on skill acquisition; become a self-starter and continually improve. Key mantra: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Life is too short to waste in situations without progress or fulfillment. Overcoming Fear and Stagnation: Don't let fear (False Expectations Appearing Real) keep you “stuck”—analyze the true risks, and realize that most bad outcomes never materialize. Lessons from high performers: It's about energy management (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), not mere time management. Embrace continuous experimentation and agile adjustments—failure is just feedback and learning (Edison paradigm: every failed attempt is progress). Legacy and Regret: Biggest regrets from those at the end of life: not being truer to themselves and not choosing happiness sooner. See happiness as a daily, conscious choice, not something to seek only at the end. Dr. Kleinfeld's Actionable Advice: Focus on increasing your value to others—money follows value. Regularly reassess: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Invest in managing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy. Don't let fear dictate your story—break it down and act despite uncertainty. Read and learn from others (“Books condense a lifetime into a few hours—take the shortcut!”).

    Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWelcome to the township of Gilford. We meet Lindsey Monroe, a city planner who is having to deal with Mayor Fred Barnes' current pressing project: rebuilding the long-gone gazebo in the town square exactly as it was, to be completed in time for the historic Christmas Eve town lighting. You know how it goes.The mayor hired Scott, a Gilford newbie, and someone who literally made me say oh my gosh when he walked on screen. He is tasked with building the gazebo. The problem is there are no records of the old gazebo itself. Lindsey and Scott meet for the first time and it's immediately clear that they are going to clash and fall in love.Lindsey is a widow who gets pretty sad around the holiday season. Her daughter, Hannah is ready to start celebrating Christmas again. So while at this Christmas market thing, she is given some Christmas decorations, including this stocking. When they get it home, they hang up the stocking and it magically falls to the ground. Lindsey reaches inside and finds an old locket. I'm sure it's nothing. Lindsey's mom comes and brings a Christmas tree. Lindsey is not thrilled. The stocking falls again and Hannah picks it up. Feels something in it so she reaches in and it's a dog tag with the word "magic". Hannah is pumped. WE'RE GETTING A DOG!!!!! Her mom is like sorry we're not getting a puppy. A side story is the mayor is very into Lindsey's mom. He is shooting his shot. He is all sorts of thirsty. She's not having it. The next day, she goes to check on Scott and how the gazebo is going. She just wants to get this project done but he wants to make sure it's authentic. He asks her on a date and she says no. But then she's like if you end up showing up to dinner tonight with my family and the mayor, I'm sure no one will mind. But they all ditch them so that they end up having dinner just the 2 of them. When Hannah and her grandma get back to their house, Hannah finds a puppy in their bushes. It's magic and it's meant to be. And the magic keeps coming including grandma getting the numbers exactly correct to the towns coin guessing competition. don't ask. Hannah and grandma are now completely convinced that the stocking is magic. Everything seems to be coming up aces. They even find pictures of the original gazebo. It's going great. Until Hannah sees a flyer for a missing song. She doesn't want to give the dog back but her hands are tied. She has to give it back.But Scott surprises her by getting her a dog named Magic. YOU KIDDIN ME RIGHT NOW?! So Lindsey is really unsure about Scott and the dog and stuff cuz her husband died in a car crash on the way to get a puppy. so that's tough. On her way out of the house to go to the town square, the stocking drops. Inside, a single Christmas light. What does it mean?!?! well when she gets there, she finds out that the Christmas lights are missing one light. She gives it to him and he fixes the light just in case. It works and the town lights up. He gives her the locket that he fixed. And then they kissssss. Cut to one year later. We're back at the Christmas market and they return the magical stocking to the lady and she winks. yay magic, yay us.

He thinks its just a giant prank, but when he wakes up the next day and it's Christmas again... he's very confused. His parents are concerned about him and get a doctor to check him out but they think it's just puberty. He figures if nothing really matters, he might as well kiss Diane without her consent and Joey punches him in the face. He tries all sorts of different things - trying to make the perfect day, trying to get Diane to fall in love with him, trying to kill his uncle David, and even trying to be a hero by stopping bad stuff from happening around town. He finally decides, you know what, I'm just gonna be kind to everyone. I'm gonna try to give everyone in town the most wonderful Christmas. Ultimately, he figures out that the lesson here is to just love your family and embrace them and in doing so, his uncle remembers how much he loves being back home and decides he wants to come back and work in the store.

    Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe are dropped right into an episode of Renovating Romance. Chelsea hosts this show that renovates a house & helps a couple at the same time. She hosts the show with her boyfriend Jake. The season just ended and they go to this wrap party and then they're off on a little vacation. But uh oh - there's an opportunity in New Hampshire for a special - hosted by her. Chelsea really wants the time off but Jake is like this would be big for us! She is gonna say no but the executive Dan is like I'll make a big donation to your charity and she's in. Off to New Hampshire they go to meet the unhappy couple Cooper and Janice. They can not agree on what to do with their house. He's a country mouse. She's a big city girl. And they just have different ideas. So they're talking about that country mouse all the way to the house. Turns out that country mouse was their driver! Whoopsies.They get to the first day of shooting and Janice is immediately uncomfortable with talking about her and Cooper's relationship on national tv. He's like that's the whole point of the show. She decides to go to New York for a couple days to clear her head. Jake says he could go with her and film some stuff there and say it's for the show and Chelsea will stay there and film with Cooper. And the chemistry between Cooper and Chelsea is off the charts. Everyone is talking about it. They just keep flirting and having fun time. To make matters worse, the tabloids are about to run a story about Chelsea and Jake having relationship problems. Janice makes it back and her and cooper talk and decide to really give their relationship a shot. They tell that to Chelsea and Jake and Chelsea is kinda sad. It's almost time for the live Christmas Eve special and Chelsea decides now is the right time to dump Jake. Jake takes it ok but then we see that he was going to propose. On the show, Cooper and Janice are talking about how they saved their relationship but then they asked Janice if she's ready to leave the big city for good and she cries and says no and breaks up with cooper. Tough break bud. Jake still proposes to Chelsea on TV but tells her it's just for the show. Chelsea looks at Cooper and then says no. She gives a long speech about how America doesn't need to see everything tied up in a perfect bow.

    Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHNikki Crandon is a BIG deal pop star and she's working on her upcoming Christmas album, sounding fine I guess. It's Thanksgiving day and Chris is heading over to his parents house for Thanksgiving with his 2 kids and he's feeling pretty sad cuz his wife is dead. His daughter Sophie seems totally fine with the fact that her mom is dead though, so that's good. They turn on the Thanksgiving football game and guess who's singing the national anthem? Nikki Crandon! Chris comes in and sees her on tv and gets weird. Sophie really wants to go see the Nikki Crandon Christmas concert on Christmas Eve  and everyone is weird about it so Sophie is like what the heck? He finally tells the truth - they went to high school with Nikki and she was his first love. And it's pretty clear he still has feelings for her. So the kids decide that they're going to sneak off to NYC for a meet and greet and tell her that their dad is still in love with her. At first, Sophie fumbles the opportunity but she turns around on her way out and belts out MY DAD IS CHRIS MARSHALL AND HE IS STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU! Nikki decides to give the kids a ride home and goes to say hi to Chris. And at first, he fumbles the opportunity (like father, like daughter). But before she drives off, he runs out and asks to get dinner. So the next day, she shows up to his basketball game and they go get a burger and it's going fine. The night ends with her asking him why he left her and he said he didn't wanna get in the way of her career taking off. Good enough for her and they kiss big ones. The next day, this picture is everywhere. Her manager wants her to call it off but she's not having it. Chris calls her and they agree to get dinner at a 5 star resteraunt. The dinner does not go well. First, the record exec shows up and gives him a wad of cash. Then when she's in the restroom, her movie star ex-boyfriend shows up. Chris realizes, once again, that he's just not right for her and her career, so he leaves. She shows up to his house and gives them tickets to her Christmas eve shows. He says they're not gonna go but after a pep talk from his mom, they all show up. He sneaks back stage and after the show, he gets on stage and professes his love. She comes back on stage and they kiss big ones and he asks if she wants to go steady. They kiss some more as the crowd cheers.

The right people show up, the right conversations flow, the money attracts - it just starts piecing together." - Daniel PriestleySometimes it takes a phone call that stops your world to realize you've been living someone else's life. For Daniel Priestley, that moment came on Christmas Eve when his doctor delivered news that would change everything - his pancreas enzyme levels were dangerously high, and he needed to immediately stop drinking and change his eating habits. At 43, with Steve Jobs' story of pancreatic cancer haunting his thoughts, Daniel faced the brutal truth that he'd been judging people who prioritized their health as "selfish" and "vain" while slowly destroying his own body. This wasn't just a health scare - it was a complete misalignment between his values and his actions, and it forced him to confront what he calls the "Ghost of Christmas Eve moment" that would reshape his entire approach to living.What Daniel shares about alignment goes far beyond health - it's about recognizing when your past, present, and future are flowing through you like a straight line, creating what he calls "vitality." When you're out of alignment, you feel it in your bones. You show up to situations where you could leave and nothing would change, where your unique contribution isn't needed. But when you find that sweet spot where your origin story, mission, and vision converge, everything shifts. The right opportunities appear, conversations flow effortlessly, and you step into work that only you can do. Daniel's raw honesty about his own misalignment around health reveals how we all have blind spots where we're living by outdated beliefs rather than our evolved values.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

She sets her drink down to take a call from her mom and she notices that a dog is drinking her drink. The man apologizes but she doesn't want any part of it.But when she's goes to the coffee shop the next day and orders her sugar free caramel macchiato with oat milk, no whip, he comes right up.  Turns out, he's the guy she's supposed to be meeting with.

And he takes her to the fire department to show her all of the fire stuff. But then he gets a call so has to leave.Turns out, the call is for her mom. She "fell down" while doing the dishes. I guess she was dehydrated. She talks to her mom about how she's not sure about really giving Trevor a chance but mom is like your dad likes him, we can't let this opportunity pass. Everything is good again until she gets a call - the baker who was making cupcakes for the wedding is in labor. So she and Trevor go to the bakery to make 200 cupcakes. And they have a blast until a girl shows up and says she's Trevor's girlfriend. Trevor doesn't correct her. She's real sad. Luckily, there's a random old guy on a bench who gives her some advice. Trevor shows up and explains - he actually never did break up with this girl but he thought they broke up cuz she moved. Which is good enough for her. They go to walk in the freezing cold and kiss.
