A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love

Godwink.

A new word for those little coincidences

that aren't coincidence, but come from divine origin.

Godwinks are always signs of hope.

Don't tell me you're already at the office.

Don't tell me you couldn't help stopping

at the Oak Street Store.

Guilty.

So where are you?

Walking to your office with a gift from Willa

in four, three, two.

I hope it's her famous hot chocolate.

So what's up?

Did you want the New Year, New You promo cards

and the regional manager's meeting agenda this morning?

Yes, I do.

And can you leave a note

to connect about the store's food bank tables, too?

This week before Christmas is when we get the most donations.

You got it.

Hey, Willa said she wants to see you

after your manager's meeting.

Thanks, Kel.

I'm just gonna head home to change and I'll be right in.

See you soon.

Bye.

It's so cold!

It's above freezing.

Is it always this cold?

In December? Yes.

January, February, it's... much colder.

But in March it's practically tropical.

Like Hawaii?

Not even a little bit.

He wants to be able to go to Hawaii for the winter.

We are gonna make it special, yeah?

Alright, there's a cab. Grab your bags.

Here I'll take them and put them in the trunk.

Ok.

Alright, organizers, phone, keys, bag, earrings...

Oh, earring.

It's just I couldn't find it anywhere.

I checked my sofa cushions,

on top of my fridge, inside my freezer

because, you know, that one time,

and still didn't turn up a match...

So... please never leave me.

Where were they?

Actually, no, don't tell me.

One in the coffee filter...

Don't say the other, please.

By the toner for the copier.

No.

For a woman as organized as you...

I have a curse when it comes to jewellery.

It just falls off my body.

Manager's meeting in ten, I'll grab coffee.

Thanks, Kel.

Ok.

Ok.

There are my boys!

Hey, mom.

Let me get a look at you!

I knew it. You're taller.

Both of you.

So, do you hug or is that not something cool

grandkids do anymore?

Oh, John!

I missed you.

And PJ.

You know what I got inside, PJ?

Some pancakes.

Guess what colour.

Red.

Santa shaped.

And tomorrow we're gonna have green ones.

Christmas trees.

And I can be talked into whipping up some cream.

What do you say to that?

Ok.

Hey, PJ, aren't you gonna...

No, it's ok. Don't worry about it.

Sorry about that.

He's really been going through it.

Oh, hon, they've just been on two flights overnight

and they just left the only home they've ever known.

I'm surprised you're not all a little off.

Mom, can I have some whipped cream, too?

That's my boy. Welcome home, honey.

- Come on in. - The place looks great.

I am so glad you're home.

The decorations are already up?

Hey!

Come on in. Come on in.

How did your video conference call go?

It was great.

As promised, forms for Monte's wrapping paper drive.

Perfect.

I overbought for my girls.

I overbought for your girls, too.

Well, then they will be very happy

to see you at Christmas dinner.

Honestly, you've been the best host every year.

Thank you.

What is it that... that you wanted?

Well, actually I have a side job for you...

Good! You're here early, too.

Scott?

Margie.

Come on in.

Please, sit.

Sit, sit, sit, both of you,

and let me explain why you are both here together.

Scott here has been doing an amazing job

in the field with sales,

but he hasn't spent any time in our corporate trenches.

So we thought we would give him a survey of all the departments,

starting with marketing, and Margie,

we thought you would be the perfect person

to give Scott the lay of the land.

Are you up for it?

Yeah.

Good.

Scott, we will make sure

that corporate housing is made available to you

so that you won't have to do

that hour and a half drive back and forth,

and you two can work side by side together

through to the first of the year.

Good?

- Yeah, it's great! - Great.

Excellent. Ok.

That's it.

- Ok. - Ok.

- So, hats? - Have 'em.

Gloves?

On the list.

Scarves? Earmuffs?

What are earmuffs?

Well...

Here you go.

What do you think?

Nice.

So we'll do a shopping trip tomorrow,

maybe you could tell us where to go?

I could come with if you'd like.

Sure.

And there's a tree lot right near one of the shops.

I've been waiting to pick out a big tree

so you guys could help me decorate.

And we should go tomorrow, honestly.

It's one week 'til Christmas.

That's great.

And if Grandma still has her traditions in place,

tree shopping tomorrow means...

- Cookie baking tonight. - Yup.

Whether we're in Hawaii or here, traditions are traditions.

What about our ornaments and our special family Christmas stuff?

They should be here today.

We sent all our ornaments and all that stuff

we bought over the years special delivery.

I will check the shipper's website to make sure.

Ok.

No, no, the boys can help with that.

Can you guys help Grandma clear, please?

No, no, no, no. You're my guests.

Sit still.

Mom.

We help clear.

Alright.

And whipped cream with Santa pancakes

isn't breakfast every day, right?

Right, right.

Maybe every other day.

I heard that.

That'd be great, thanks.

Well, that was something.

Did you know?

I didn't even know you were coming to the office.

I was gonna surprise you, after I figured out what was going on.

They didn't even tell you?

My manager just told me that Willa wanted to see me

at corporate and that it was good news.

Well, it is good news.

They're grooming you.

Yeah, but for what?

Have you heard anything?

No, I haven't heard anything, but it's only good.

I mean, you're gonna be ready for whatever pops up.

Starting with marketing.

And you.

Working side by side until the beginning of the year.

So, after dating for six months, 90 miles apart,

it's corporate that brings us to the same zip code?

Well, if it weren't for this company

we never would have even met, so cheers to more time together.

I have a lot to teach you. We gotta go.

Let's go.

Grandma said we can get a sled.

And that there's a market that has games and food
