santa!

*From now on our troubles will be out of sight

*Have yourself a merry little Christmas

- happy holidays. - thank you.

this is nuts.

yeah. i don't know whether to laugh or cry.

and if things continue this way, i'm going to have to bring in chairs

and have christmas eve dinner here.

i told you, you were taking on too much.

- speaking of which-- - no.

i'm sorry. i have to go in 5 minutes. i haven't gotten anything for ned yet.

well,at least i'm no longer confused on whether i should laugh or cry.

i promise i will come back if i can.

it's fine. i'll close up.

and my christmas list will magically take care of itself.

got to hurry up and pick something out,ok? got a lot to do.

do you think mommy will like this one?

- how much is it? - $25.

yeah. she'll love it.

oh,hey. is this for your mom?

yeah. but don't wrap it. she likes it when i wrap it myself.

i'm a really good wrapper.

i bet you are.

- so,did you get your letter to santa yet? - yeah.

- i'm sure he'll read it as soon as he gets it. - i hope so.

- dad! - what happened?

dad! are you ok?

yeah, i'm all right,buddy, just a little burned.

- why do these things keep happening? - i don't know.

that's weird. it's freezing cold.

it's all right,buddy. maybe santa will bring me another one.

you know what? um, you really should have a doctor take a look at that,

so i'll just get these delivered.

i'll wrap them up and get them to you tomorrow.

that'd be great. thank you.

yeah. i just need your signature right here, and then i will take care of it for you.

what was that about? that kid looked totally freaked out.

yeah,for a good reason.

do you want me to add these to ned's delivery list tomorrow?

no. i think this needs my special touch.

*And have yourself A merry little Christmas now

come in from the cold.

i'm from same as it never was.

oh,for a second there, i thought santa had gotten young and beautiful.

oh,tired and frazzled is more like it.

i'm william's mother claire.

it's reay nice to meet you. where should i put these?

right there. just put them on the table,i guess.

most of them are for my staff.

i just have to bring them in tomorrow.

- how's that doing? - frost burn,apparently.

doctors had trouble believing that it was from a p.d.a.

i'm right back on that horse.

yeah? this is william.

right,well,we should have included that in chambers,though.

yeah. i understand.

busy time of year.

yes,all of a sudden.

you look cold. would you like some tea?

i would love some.

hey,um...

is this your grandpa?

yeah,grandpa howard. my father's step dad.

he looks nice.

so does the tree. you're doing a great job.

thanks. you can help if you want.

my dad's getting distracted.

sure.

doesn't your mom want to help?

she doesn't live here anymore.

oh,i'm so sorry.

it's ok.

they still love me, and it's not my fault.

it's just better that they live apart right now.

my parents were separated,too, so i know how hard that can be.

they're gonna get back together by christm,though.

my mom gonna move back in,

or we might just buy a new house somewhere like floda

and start over, because everybody's happy in florida.

sounds nice.

um,do you remember at the store when you said some weird thin were happening to your dad?

- yeah. - what kind of weird things?

i don't know. things like...

dad! dad,dad,look!

look,the one has a face in it!

yeah,yeah, it won't matter.

no,if it goes to arbitration, we'll have--

- oh,can i see? - yeah!

see,there's a face in it that wasn't there last year. it moves,too.

yeah,fine. yeah,ok, i gotta go.

all right,look, let's stop messing around here and get this done. come on.

here we go.

it's herbal. i hope you don't mind.

i have some lovely--

dad! grandma,help.

william,are you all right?

- are you ok? - yeah,really, i'm fine.

i'll get something.

are you sure you're ok,dad?

i want him to know what it's like to lose everything.

Ghost Whisperer Season 3 Episode 10

hey,the after work rush is still a couple of hours off.

i can handle this for now if you want to get a head start on your shopping.

head start? head start is shopping in november.

ok,i'm talking about desperation shopping right now.

i have to check out a couple of things first.

wait a second, you are not still having christmas eve dinner at your house?

yes,i am. don't ask me how.

i'm hoping that santa claus will give me rachael ray for christmas,

and then maybe she can handle it.

look,i know this may not be politically correct in your world,

but can't this situation wait until after the holidays?

by situation,you mean haunting,correct?

well,you know, you say tomato,i say--

no,it can't wait.

there's too much anxiety and negative energy in this house.

this ghost could get very powerful very fast, and he really has it out for william.

so what is it you're looking for?

anything i can find on william taylor--

enemies, deaths of relatives.

the only recent death i've been able to find is his father,

but i saw a picture of him at their house, and it's not him.

- something to do th his work? - ugh,i hope not.

his work is in mergers and acquisitions.

his company does a lot of takeovers.

i don't know, it's very coorate.

yeah,well, somebody like that has a lot of heavy duty enemies.

maybe you should concentrate on the hostile takeovers,

or the people who lost their jobs in the mergers.

oh,that's a good idea.

at least it would narrow it down.

to about a hundred.

daddy?

oh,it's--i think someone's in the house.

- well,are you sure? - yeah. i heard them downstairs.

ok.

ok,come here,riley.

riley,you get on the phone and you call 9-1-1.

and you do not come out of this room,ok?

dad?

what is it?

it's nothing. it's just...a toy.

everything's fine.

let's get you back in bed.

how did this get included in my order?

well,it wasn't in your order, 'cause we don't sell those things.

ooh,does that have a remote? maybe i should get one of those for ned.

well,you were the only delivery, the only person in the house yesterday.

so now what happened?

i-i...i don't know what happened.

i came downstairs, the box was open, and this thing was flyin' around.

have you been having a lot of weird things happen lately?

yeah,i guess so.

has anyone around you died recently?

my stepfather died 2 years ago.

- how old was he? - 89.

nope,not him.

what,are you saying that...

wait a minute, bruce spence

a guy i worked with once, and he died in a plane crash.

- wait... - excuse me?

what does that have to do with anything?

oh,hi. i'm so sorry. we're just really busy.

can you give me a day? i'll call you tomorrow,ok?

'cause i really think that i can help you. i'm sorry.

hi. all righ here is what i found in the back.

honey,i didn't even know you were home.

sorry,i just got in.

before i left, we got a huge delivery that i had to inventory.

come on, come on up to bed.

i will. i just have to nail down something first--ooh!

here it is.

bruce spencer was c.e.o. of the struggling barnes & stowe properties company.

he was bought out by the company william taylor works for,

and he died in a plane crash.

all right, that's tragic, but relevant how?

well,it says here that spencer had hit on hard times, since the sale of his company.

he felt cheated. company was overvalued.

he ended up losing his house and pretty much all of his money.

well,good.

so he's the who's haunting william taylor.

case closed, time to come up.

but he doesn't really look like my ghost.

melinda,you're running yourself ragged. you gotta get some rest.

there's nothing here that can't wait till tomorrow.

- you're right. - all right.

pack up, and i'll be up in a second.

- jim? - ready and waiting.

are you bruce spencer, by any chance?

no,i'm not bruce...whoever.

then who?

come on,who do you think?

no way.

yep. i'm santa claus.

*** you somethin'.

i don't understand why you can see me. usually only kids can.
