The More the Merrier

Oh, wow!

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Really.

What did we say about snowball fight rules?

Umm...

- No ice chunks. - No throwing at faces.

How is that going for us?

It slipped.

Hi. I... you know what?

This one's on me.

I thought you were going to the airport.

I am, that's true. Yep.

And then I started a snowball fight.

I was aiming at Charlie.

She was aiming at me.

I'm so sorry.

I'm okay, really.

You have a very strong arm. Good work.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

- Merry Christmas! - Bye.

All right, everybody, let's go back inside.

Aunt Barb made ambrosia salad.

And you...

And I will collect the parents from the airport.

Thank you.

Can we set up a bike ramp?

I can't wait for you not to set up a bike ramp

with the snowstorm coming.

Let's go.

You can never have too many cookies to leave for Santa.

That's true.

My theory is Santa hates dairy.

Santa? No way.

All in on the eggnog lattes.

Wild for nutmeg, that guy.

No, I think Santa is lactose intolerant,

but just a really nice guy.

Can you believe this guy?

Let me see.

It's Alice.

- Yes. - Okay...

I've got one more thing for you.

You all seem very ready for Christmas.

Yes.

Excited for some new beginnings.

Hmm. I understand that.

Okay.

Here we are.

I hear you guys have the best Christmas cookies in town.

Well, let me show you what we're working with here.

Uh... we got the stars.

We got reindeer.

This one's Donner.

You can tell by the right antler.

- Definitely, Donner. - That's... yeah.

No, I picked that up.

And we got Santa.

All to dietary specifications.

These are so lovely. Thank you.

Eight dozen, are you, uh

you having a party?

Yes. Well, no. I mean, sor-sor-sort of.

These are a little...

- You good? You need help? - Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.

- Okay. Okay. - I got it. Yes.

Great, well, then I am gonna start cooking.

Okay.

It's Christmas Eve, aren't you closing soon?

Oh, no, we are.

But we also throw a sort of

island of misfit toys Christmas for friends every year.

Yeah, and we've got a professional kitchen, so

it goes quicker if we do it here.

Well, that sounds very cozy.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

- Whoa! - Oh! Careful.

I got it.

Everything okay?

Yes. Just...

Wow. Everything's about to change, isn't it?

Yeah.

We still have a few weeks.

And we agreed to stay patient.

- Mm-hmm. - I know, I'm...

I'm just so excited.

Hey.

We got this.

Let's get cookin'!

Good morning.

Hello.

Hi, there.

Um, I called earlier about the wreaths.

Right. Over here.

Oh, these are perfect. Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you. We do not get a call

for wreaths this late in the season.

I'm going to need you to pick them up, though,

because I cannot bend down right now.

Of course.

How far along are you?

Due just after the new year.

Excuse me. How much do I owe you?

Oh, I can't charge you for that tree.

It's one of our last ones.

It's crooked.

You as well, you're basically cleaning up the place for me.

I think there's one over there as well.

Are you sure? I mean, I-I can easily pay.

Really. My parents left me the place.

They were always doing stuff like this.

Just

pay it forward to the next person.

It's what they would've done.

Okay. I-I'll agree.

But with this storm coming, if it gets too bad,

I'll be back to plow your driveway.

Deal. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Are you working out here all on your own?

I live on the property.

Christmas Eve, we don't get a lot of people up here,

so I sent the rest of the team home.

Don't worry, I will get off my very swollen feet

very soon.

Good.

Well, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

The storm is coming in fast, folks.

Massive amounts of snow and wind on the way,

with near whiteout conditions expected.

All right.

Okay.

You gotta be kiddin' me.

Come on... come... oh!

- Whoa! Gosh! - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

- Okay. - Oh, wow.

Oh, boy.

- Um... - Uh...

Save the boxes

and the cookies.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay. Theoretically.

You're gonna fall.

I'm okay, that's all right. I accept it.

All right.

Let it happen.

Yes!

Perfect display of teamwork.

All right, I got it. Here.

Thank you.

Let me help you up.

One. Two...

There you go.

Hi.

- Hi. - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

- Um, I can-I can take... - Uh...

No, I don't think that we should risk that.

I mean, you should get on with

whatever Christmas Eve you were having.

Counterpoint, you seem kind of accident-prone

and maybe you need me.

Need is a strong word, but... okay.

Now you're just showing off.

- Hey. - Hey!

Are you here early, or is it, uh, later than I think it is?

Oh, a little of both. I hear you're pulling a double.

Yeah, better than being stuck out there in the storm.

Are these from Cookie Glory?

They are, but they're for patients.

Oh, you are a mean one, Mister Grinch.

You work here?

I do.

Here you go.

As, like, a decorator or...

Well, they decorated most of the hospital,

but I like to help out.

Make that yourself?

Do you always ask strangers so many questions?

You always dodge them?

Kind of.

Yeah. I do.

Well, I, um

thank you for the assist,

but I should get to my shift.

Dr. Rogers.

You are an ER doctor.

I am.

Uh, you're a little... clumsy, no?

It's remarkable, isn't it?

It is. Yeah.

- I'm B... - He's Brian.

Dr. Rogers, this is my brother,

Dr. Brian Davis.

Dr. Brian Davis?

The renowned cardiologist, Dr. Brian Davis?

The one they're gonna put up billboards about?

I saw those pictures, by the way.

They're not that good.

Uh, you didn't tell anyone that we're related?
