Love, Lights, Hanukkah!

oh...

I've got that wreath that you liked,

the one for the windows.

Oh, it's perfect!

I'm going to take two.

Three.

Let me see what I've got.

Okay.

I found them.

Oh...

Okay. I'm going to take one more.

Thank you.

-There you go. -Oh...

Okay.

Here you go.

Merry Christmas.

-Bye! -Merry Christmas.

Whoa... You might want to slow your roll.

I've waited long enough.

It's December.

If you keep up this pace,

there'll be no room for the customers.

It's my first Christmas without my mom.

Decorating is how I cheer myself up.

She was the heart and soul of this place.

You're gonna do fine.

Just give yourself some time.

Ease up on the decorating in the meantime.

It's turning into santa's village.

What?

You look so much like your mom sometimes.

Really? Even though I'm adopted?

It's in your expression.

The smile.

Sometimes I look in the mirror,

trying so hard to see her in me.

Oh, she's right there...

Not in the mirror, in who you are.

Thank you.

Hmm.

One penne arrabiata!

One mamma's lasagne!

How did you like that olive oil?

It was great. Order some more.

Mr. Moretti likes extra sauce.

Okay, coming up.

You know, nobody talks to a busboy

or leaves them a tip,

but he always does.

Give the morettis some struffoli for dessert,

on the house.

Here's the penne.

Mr. And mrs. Moretti!

I wanted to say good night.

You're just like your mother.

Sophia was always in her apron.

The struffoli...

-Oh. -So good.

I hope you'll both come to my Christmas eve dinner.

Oh...

We wouldn't miss it for the world, eh?

You have done Sophia proud.

I hope so.

Ciao, Bella.

Ciao.

I put an offer on a house.

Oh, I hope you get it.

It's my Christmas wish.

Stockings hung from my own mantle,

and a mortgage,

and house insurance, and repairs...

Oh, careful what you wish for.

You have a Christmas wish?

Oh...

The holidays are going to be pretty lonely

without any family this year, so...

I guess... That would be my wish.

Some people to love.

Oh...

Lots of people love you, including me.

I get the results of my DNA test this week.

I mean, I could...

I could be related to...

Armani, or versace,

or I could have this big family with a villa in Tuscany.

Do I get a room?

oh...

I always get so excited just thinking it's the results.

Oh... We gotta get back to the restaurant.

-Oh... -Now.

Look.

Oh...

you're gonna have to replace the pipes

and bring them up to code.

There is some water damage,

but I won't know how much until I get a better look.

How long is it going to take to do these repairs?

Two or three weeks.

We have to close down that long?

Unless you want to pass out umbrellas with each meal.

Eddie...

You gotta promise me

that you are gonna be done by Christmas eve.

I am making the feast of the seven fishes.

It is the first time

that I am doing this on my own,

and this means more to me than anything else,

especially now.

Promise?

Promise.

aw, we got a Christmas card from the morettis.

Aw...

Yeah.

I called the insurance company,

and I sent them eddie's invoice.

It's very strange being out of the kitchen.

I don't know what to do with myself.

Try to resist the urge to decorate.

I capped off a lonely dinner with two more lawn ornaments.

I mean, what are you going to do

when you end a four-year engagement

with a phone call,

and then you lose your mom,

who was your north star?

I think a couple of reindeer seem appropriate.

They certainly do.

They're very cute.

the results for my DNA test are in!

Okay, well, go to the website and see what it says.

Okay, okay, wait. Just...

Just give me a minute.

Okay.

Okay, here we go.

It says that I am 50% Jewish!

-Amazing! -Wow.

I did not see that coming.

No.

I guess the tenors and the villas

are off the table.

Okay.

Hmm.

Walking is always a good idea.

You can process your unexpected heritage,

and I can get in my 10,000 steps...

Or 100 steps, whatever.

I don't know anything about being Jewish,

and now I find out it's 50% of who I am.

Well, your timing couldn't be better.

Hanukkah starts next week.

But I'm all about Christmas.

And now I have to learn a whole other holiday

and all the traditions,

and I'm guessing

it probably doesn't involve lawn ornaments.

But maybe some family.

Let's go find out.

It says that I have nine DNA matches!

I am so happy for you, and for them.

Whoever they are, wherever they are,

they're my blood relatives.

And it says that I have someone

in the "close family" category...

Ah. What does that mean?

I don't know.

They could be a first cousin...

I just got an email from one of my DNA matches!

Okay.

Here we go.

Okay. It's from Becky Berman.

She wants to meet.

She lives in shaker heights!

That's, like, ten miles away.

What if she doesn't like me?

you're very hard not to like.

hi.

Christina?

Yes. Hello.

I'm Becky.

Hi...

I am so happy you're here.

It's so nice to meet you.

Can I get you anything?

No, no, I'm fine, thank you.

Come! Sit.

Okay. Okay.

This is just kind of a big deal for me.

Me too.

Yeah, I'm just a little nervous.

Me too.

You're the first DNA match I actually got to meet.

Oh...

Yeah, I wonder how many of us are out there.

I don't know.

I was, um,

I was adopted by a single mother as an infant,

so I really don't know any of my biological family.

Well, you've got me now.

Yup.

-And my two kids. -Okay.
