It will not be easy. 3. 4
Edmund, the city is changing. It's Chesterton's turn.
Yes, Millicent. But this place has a lot of history.
You don't expect to erase it like that without more, do you?
Delete it no, edit it. Do not worry.
I am by your side. We are a team.

And the great moment:
the star is lit on Christmas Eve to show the way to Jesus.
- Yes. - Remember that last year
Did Thomas's tender little sister light it?
I think it was the only celebration that they had.
We must spread The joy of the holidays.84
Yes.
The boys of the church They will come to celebrate with us.
Leslie, I think you beat yourself.
No, this is for you and what you built,
and how much he served the church And to the community.
- Yes. Leslie, I would like to ... - That tree is nailed.
I'm sorry, Mr. J, but it doesn't move a bit.
What would I do without you, Kevin?
I am to make your dreams come true.
Are you sure you are firm?
Yes, I just have to adjust the base And everything is going on.
Or, rather, all still.
- You understand? - Thank you Kevin.
Before they require you again, I want to introduce you to my grandson.
I know that Christmas is within 24 days.
- I know. - But we can't ...
- Impossible. - Look.
Sorry? It's the Chesterton, fuck.
- We need you to send it now. - We'll try.
They tangle the lights a lot, Do not interleave the branches.
- No, sir, we always intersperse them. - Clear!
- Hi, J.J. - Regina! My singing bird!
Hi!
- Welcome. - Thank you.
It seems that I will spend the holidays here in the Chesterton.
Yes, we were waiting for you.
This lobby, every year is ...
It lifts my spirits.
- Ready, Kev? - Ready.
Taking. Put them around.
Above and below. Yes.
Do you remember your time here? Every night Tickets were sold out. Glorious voice
You know I stopped singing a long time ago.
I still have a place for you.
And you should take it As long as I continue to lead.
What are you talking about?
You run the hotel ... Forty years ago? You are not leaving.
Not yet, but I'm getting old.
It will not be the Chesterton without J.J. James.
Lovely as always. Let's have something together before I leave.
And so without further ado, it is Christmas.
I'm really sorry.
Leslie
I see you met my grandson.
Leslie Major, from Major Designs, I introduce you to Edmund James, administrator.
- Charmed. - Nice to meet you.
OMG! Edmund, what the hell happened to you?
She...
- Who is she? - Me.
Leslie Major, from Major Designs. I take care of Christmas here.
How fascinating
Why do you shine?
It is the snow. I put glitter To shine
Whatever it is, you have it everywhere.
It's okay. I'm fine.
It was a pleasure catching you.
A pleasure you will catch me.
I'm going to register While we get the shine.
I do not see the hour to get Christmas out of this place.
Heavens!
Yes.
OMG!
Do you want to go first?
Yes, I have a very busy day.
Agree.
Doesn't this place fill you with life?
Rather you need one.
Well, I love Christmas. I thought this year would be different.
I separated. But this place ...
Do not follow.
Look, I don't chat with strangers,
I don't gossip and definitely I do not like Christmas.
Not even the witches.
- Thank God. - Welcome to Chesterton.
Yes, Millicent Williams. Two years, two eles.
And Edmund James. We registered together.
Will they share a room?
No, but I called ahead And I asked for adjoining rooms.
Yes, I see it here. Two rooms.
Contiguous
Edmund came to helpyou With the transition of the hotel.
- Transition? - Quiet.
This will always be the Chesterton, But we have to make changes.
I don't know if I like how that sounds.
Leslie, you worry too much.
Edmund is very innovative.
And his partner, Millicent, is to take arms.
I think so.
Well, let's clean up this mess.
Kevin, why is the tree still tilted?
Belinda, any news of the lights?
I don't know, but I'll have you right away.
We have much to do!
I wish it was Christmas forever.
I also.
I will make sure that it is.
The tree is missing something Until this part arrives.
Until the star is lit on Christmas' Eve,
It's just a lot of lights.
A lot, I think so.
The more flashes the better.
Other hotels celebrate the New Year and Valentine. Christmas is ours.
Kevin, show me the star!
Prepare to be surprised.
- Yes. - Hears.
But what's wrong with you...?
You exaggerated a little.
Kevin, don't ruin Christmas for me.
Never.
Will you have a star that works in two days?
I guarantee you.
You know what? Go to rest.
I will stay to do administrative work.
We have to show off this year. We almost made it.
If next year do we make an ice rink?
Kevin, I'm going to hurt you.
Hi.
- Edmund. - Yes hears.
You are the decorator I saved.
Designer Leslie
Designer Leslie.
Leslie dry.
Well, Leslie dry.
- You're good? - I think so.
For the fall.
If I am fine. You fucked me well ... You caught.
You caught me well! I meant you caught me well.
You saved my ass, or something more important.
Your...
- I'm fine. - Good.
- Let's leave it there. - Yes.
That good.
- Good. - I just needed
a quiet place to relax and process the day,
Why? Dear God...
Smitty, give him a whiskey.
- In agreement. - No, a Coca-Cola Light.
No sir.
And you know what? This is not going either.
You don't like my tie?
It's okay. Wait.
- That's better? - Best.
Best.
To the bottom, as I say.
Agree.
To the bottom.
There it goes, a little more.
- Way to go. - You do better.
- Good whiskey. - Thank you. 2. 3. 4
I really needed it.
Millicent monopolized the entire room
and improvised a command center.
Millicent?
Yes, my coworker, The project coordinator.
It seems to be in his ink.
Yes, definitely.
And in other things.
Here things are very hectic At this time of year.
Yes, don't you love it?
It is like a drug.
Christmas at Chesterton.
There is nothing like it. I feel like...
The queen of Christmas.
What? I don't like labels,
but if you mean I give orders to the people in my field
- and I get results, yes. - Yes.
- Here I am. - Yes I know!
But it's okay. I like it.
Everyone seems to like it.
The Christmas atmosphere
Not to you?
I don't like parties very much.
I never liked them.
For me, it's all an excuse
to spend more than you have and eat more.
And besides, there are the banks.
They do not open. And the escrow companies either.
How can i make money if they don't open? I'm serious.
- Good. - Seriously.
That is an anti-Christmas list quite long
Not to mention the pressure Of having to be happy.
What? Pressure?
Can't you just be? Happy? Be happy, period.
You make it seem easy.
It is not that complicated. People have been doing it for years.
What is it like to wake up at home Christmas morning?
Sorry? You'll...?
No, I ... Time out. I did not mean that.
I ask for your work.
Sure you have the Christmas lights
and the big decorated Christmas tree and ...
Let's say i do Let the atmosphere be Christmas.
Not well. But I am not like that.
I try to relax,
but my mind automatically It focuses on more important things.
Practical things
That's why I'm here.
Yes, I know why you are here.
And what would that be?
I think you came to solve A problem that does not exist.
Sometimes...
it's good to see things from another perspective.
Do you talk about the hotel or yourself?
Of the hotel...
AND...
Maybe from both.
Than...
It's okay. I get it. You know what?
It's hard not to be happywhen you have this jewel around your neck
- Let's see. - In agreement.
- There it goes. - Yes.
It's okay.
Great discovery.
How funny.
By...
Leslie dry.
For having open mind and heart.
Edmund, thank God. Finally you came.
We have to check a lot of ...
My God, take that thing out of bad taste.
The presentation is not ready.
We need the model of the online brochure for renewal.
The graphic designer wants the approval for tomorrow, and I don't think ...
Millicent
Take it easy.
- Let's see. - Good. I need your approval.
Investors arrive In two weeks,
and we have to make sure to make a good impression on them,
for those of silver Don't turn your back on us.
The conference center Wow
How little exciting.
Clear. It is a business meeting.
Look, we have the opportunity to save this classic and boring hotel
and launch it into the 21st century.
The neighborhood is changing.
Chesterton has to change too.
- We talked about this. - I know, but not ...
This will be the destination of urban professionals.
The latest in office facilities, videoconferences.
Did it ever occur to you that people want disconnect in a hotel?
Isn't that the idea?
It is not our idea.
Demand in urban hotels and business rose 65%.
Stay sober, Edmund.
Now everything is going faster.
Nowadays business is done In an instant, there is no time to lose.
You and I have a vision
what will Chesterton do the busiest hotel all el year.
If we have to sacrifice Christmas celebrations, so be it.
Chesterton can be much more Than a seasonal hotel.
The hotel fills up at Christmas.
And lose money in spurts the rest of the year.
Besides, your grandfather spends too much in frivolous nonsense.
Wait.
We talked about my family legacy.
Be careful.
Yes in that future is in which we have to think.
When this hotel opened its doors, I was in a ghetto.
The neighborhood got bored.
Now we can take advantage of that. 3. 4. 5
We can turn it into a great hotel.
Together.
In tune, Edmund.
I like my bells.
You did.
I like it. Let's turn it on.
Agree.
- Kevin. - It puts you on hold.
- I love! - I like it.
You know what? This may be your last day.
- In agreement... - What happens?
I'm calling
Rodney, open your FaceTime. I want you to see my anger. What is this?
Get this crap out of here.
Right away.
I want everything to be perfect this Christmas.
Have faith.
Don't i always Christmas is perfect?
Yes, but this may be The last great Christmas.
- The last great Christmas? - Yes, make it spectacular.
I will not stay here long. I want to retire.
Maybe make one of those sexy cruises.
- If you are, it will be sexy. - Yes.
But sir You are the soul of this place.
This old hotel needs new blood.
Edmund?
He has great ideas.
Offer services of ...
of business conferences and those cosas.
It will bring investors within two weeks
and will make a meeting.
But we will also celebrate Christmas.
At least investors You will see the hotel in all its splendor.
Amen.
- What is Chesterton without Christmas? - Very true.
Rodney will repair the lights and send them tomorrow.
He knows that I know where he lives.
That bastard
Okay. Take it easy. It always complies.
That man wants to wait for my Christmas.
Technically Christmas belongs to everyone.
It's not like that.
The grandson of J.J. want to change Things in the Chesterton.
Christmas at Chesterton,
the tree, the church choir, the faces of the children,
It is what gives the magic to this place.
Without that, we are another hotel with fax.
Nobody sends faxes anymore.
Do not correct me. You know what I mean.
- Yes I know. - If you know.
I can with this.
I saw how you looked at him.
And, seriously, I think it's not just about business.
No, everything is business.
I'm going to schedule a meeting with Mr. James
and I will go to business ...
I mean, I will show you Christmas is good business.
How are you going to do it?
I have data and numbers and things like that.
And a great body.
Kevin, I'm trying to talk seriously.
Well, we are going to help you.
I can do it, no doubt.
- Yes, no doubt. - You can.
But here we are yes you get the shot by the butt.
- Yes? - Good to have you.
- If it is okay. - Go to work.
Goodbye.
- To work. - Too.
Christmas.
Yes I understand.
I already approved it, so that's fine. Do it.
I'll call you later. I think Santa attacked me.
Agree.
- I'm sorry. - Yes.
You and that ladder are a danger.
I hope you don't mean it.
No.
But there are many things here.
That's the idea. I try to put together my Christmas.
Leslie
Mrs. Lawrence, how are you?
Leslie, I told you to call me Bev.
It's true, Mrs. Bev. I present to Edmund, the grandson of J.J.
Edmund, I introduce you to Mrs. Lawrence. She got married here at Christmas.
Edmund
This would have been Our 50th anniversary.
Seriously?
I come every year to celebrate it, Although Samuel has passed away.
I'm so sorry.
Do not regret it. Being here I feel closer to him.
It's like I have him by my side.
And here we also had our first date.
And Mrs. Sarah Vaughan sang.
For real?
I knew that same night I would marry him.
Edmund, I want to thank you for continuing the holiday tradition.
My children are Too busy for that.
It seems a pity.
What a pity.
But that's the way it is.
- Isn't she lovely? - It is.
Sorry, I must attend.
Agree.
Hi Frank, yes.
Do me a favor. Go calmly.
Yes, I don't want to rush it right now at Christmas.
No, definitely we will continue ... But ...
I want to be respectful of the date, do you understand?
Yes.
Well, we'll talk.
Goodbye.
Wait, will you and Gloria drive to the choir on Christmas Eve?
Like all years.
It is true. I love. They sing very well!
Now you know.
- Those flowers are beautiful. - Thank you.
We make floral arrangements Christmas hotel for 20 years.
My family business is 70.
So they are a local company?
Yes sir. Floral designs Rollins.
Of the first stores with black owners in the area.
The contract with the hotel It keeps us all year.
I say the same.
They sing very well, I assure you.
I know what you do.
What?
The kind old lady, The flowers, the Christmas joy.
You're exaggerating a little, aren't you?
Let me guess, Now a parade of orphans will enter.
Don't ruin my grand finale. That is for Christmas Eve.
Edmund, could we talk?
I want to give you my opinion.
Yes, no problem.
What about tonight?
Not tonight. I have a dinner And tomorrow I'm leaving first thing.
But I'll be back next week for the meeting.
Sure you can wait.
OR...
we could meet In the bar later.
It's okay. At about 10?
Yes, around 10:00 it will be fine.
Good. Fantastic.
Good.
If you need me before,
you can hit me
Not while I'm here, bitch.
- Edmund. - I will do it...
Emergency conference call.
Was this employee bothering you?
You don't like that woman, right?
I am not who to judge.
She is a guest of the hotel, And I will always be respectful and cordial.499
Very professional. But you don't like him.
Is that...
Mr. James, I love this hotel
and the family we have here,
and I don't think she fits or want to do it.
Leslie, I appreciate your sincerity and your concern
Thank my Lord.
We are in good hands.
Let me tell you about my grandson.
He has a good heart, but sometimes he lets himself be won by fear.
Their parents divorced when I was 16 years old,
just before Christmas, And he didn't take it well.
I used to be very happy when we put the tree in the lobby.
But after the separation,
I was always walking With the nose stuck in a book.
In the end, he stopped coming for Christmas.
He lost faith.
I don't want to brag
but who can resist to Christmas when entering here?
Yes I know.
But his heart will shine again.
He was injured, but it is a strong heart.
And I believe in him.
Mr. James
Miss.
Welcome to the Kitchen of the Soul.
As you well know, my social work And Christmas is no longer on the menu.
But don't stop trying The peach pie.
- Here they are. - Thank you.
Wow The news is running fast.
I'm worried that there are those who believe
We'll just leave the walls
Good. Be alert.
First we will close this place.
I am thinking of something more sophisticated.
Millicent, my grandfather formed A family here.
We have to tell them something.
Of course. You're right.
And the key to good business is the communication.
We will meet the staff and explain
that not everyone will survive In this environment.
They have to change things at the hotel,
but we will always have good foundations,
Which is what we both have.
Yes, I guess we make a good team.
We make a great team.
Let's go to the next level.
Do you flatter me for a raise?
No dear.
Dear? Agree.
Wow
What is this?
A proposal.
For us.
Okay.
It seems very well thought out.
SUCCESS AND POTENTIAL RATE AS A COUPLE
It is a good long term plan.
And with the two of us together ...
the possibilities are endless.
Millicent, no ...
We are not couple.
In business, we make a great team,
one that cannot fail.
Why not pass from business to pleasure?
Is it a marriage proposal?
The moment is now.
Wait...
Isn't man he who proposes marriage on his knees
and with a ring?
I didn't have time to buy one,
But I know what I want. Page eight.
Agree.
Clear.
COMMITMENT RINGS
I will take care of everything.
Yes, I see.
This is crazy.
What?
This infographic showing the way to the consummation of the relationship.
It's a posibility,
but we can advance the launch
If you prefer.
I am sincere, all this is too much.
But you know we are going that way, don't you?
After all, it hasNest.
Yes, I know it makes sense.
In theory.
But in practice?
If we face it the right way,
and we give it momentum,
We will be an unstoppable brand.
They decided?
Yes, for him, the salmon, but well cooked,
the sauce aside And salad instead of potatoes.
For me, steak, black and blue.
And we will share A serving of peach pie.
We ran out.
And it was delicious.
It is not a date.
Only two professionals that present strategies
and look for points in common.
That is a date.
It is not a date.
Notify the dress.
Do I look like a prostitute?
I will leave you a 50 ticket on the light table.
Do not steal anything when leaving.
Agree.
I know you're out of shape
and a lot, a lot, a lot has happened ...
With a "lot" it reaches.
I don't need you to remind me.
What I want to say is
that if it were, maybe you wouldn't notice.
No my God.
You won't achieve anything with that outfit.
I just want to give A strong and sensitive image.
It is a bad image.
That is a possibility.
But you need pearls.
What? Do you have pearls?
I already told you, it's a business meeting.
Boom
Bam
Enjoy the date.
It is not a date!
You mean
that if I were under the tree with a bun,
wouldn't you take advantage?
Well maybe.
But first things first.
I have to save Christmas.
Good evening, Mr. James.
Wow
Thank you.
Yes.
Your...
You look...
very clean.
Clean?
No, I mean that
I always see you with work clothes,
glitter cover and ornaments and much more ...
It's good to see you without those clothes.
And with other nice clothes.
You are beautiful.
You too.
You know,
You are always very elegant.
You try to give it your touch.
Thank you. I thank you
In all these years,
I had never noticed these photos.
How amazing that all those stars They will play at my grandfather's hotel.
Eartha, Teddy, Smokey ...
I know.
This place has a lot of history, Edmund.
This is the only place
to which these musicians came After his concerts.
You understand? They played
in the big theaters, but when it was time to improvise,
They came to Chesterton, baby.
Yes sir.
Thank you so much May you listen to my proposal.
Truly.
I help you.
Edmund, will you ...
Do you want to illuminate with your mobile?
Yes.
- Thank you. - There is one here.
Smitty, give me something to drink.
Want one?
Yes, one double.
- Serve us. - Serve us.
You don't know how much I thank you for this.
The Chesterton is
such an important part of our community and our cityad
I wanted to expose your ideas I have to preserve that.
- Good. - I can show you.
Yes.
Great. I was working on this. I got nervous.
I was thinking...
No, wait...
Enough of business talks, proposals and ideas.
I do not want to know anything about that.
Agree...
- At this time... - Yes?
It's just you and me.
- Can be? - Yes I like that.
Difficult day with the transition?
Yes, the typical mergers and acquisitions.
Were you expanding your properties?
Millicent proposed to me marriage.
As?
Yes.
Of nothing.
Rather it was a proposal
for the next phase of our development, according to her.
I didn't know they were ...
No, we never had privacy of any kind,
but it came out of nowhere.
I guess it's romantic.
You can not imagine.
I had pie charts and bar charts.
- Pie and bar charts? - Yes.
It was straight to sexy.
Yes.
We would make a good couple in theory.
And in practice?
That was exactly what I said.
Smitty
Come, give us two more.
Give us the bottle.
Thank you.
OMG!
Your...
Wait, can you play?
I think so.
Wow ... I sing.
I sing. Come on.
- Good. - Come on. What songs do you know?
All.
Come on.
Afterués of you, teacher.
Well said.
I can't believe you know how to play.
- OMG! - Years of piano lessons.
I better.
One of my favorites.
We have to touch this. Do you know how to read?
- Do you read music? - So funny.
OMG!
- You'll love it. - Good.
Good. Can...? Yes.
I don't play Christmas songs
- Come on. Please. - No.
It is clearly not your time of year.
Against what you think of me,
there was a time when I loved it,
Like everyone.
But one year I went down and found Mom kissing Santa Claus.
- Cute. - That's how I knew the truth.
What was your dad?
That it was Mr. Davidson, the neighbor.
Oh.
So is. So no.
There will be no Christmas songs here
Come on, please, for me.
No way
Don't try to convince me
A verse and chorus and voila. That's it.
Please?
I can't refuse to your beautiful face
- Just a bit. - It's okay.
Just one.
If I remember.
List?
Let's see if it comes out.
Tonight, get on Santa's sleigh
Throw yourself into the North Pole and come back
Go down the chimney With all the toys
My Santa Claus is coming
will give me a gift When he feels me on his legs
Calmly and mischievously, get into bed
You can't fight joy
You can't fight the brightness
I cheered her upwill invade you In the great night of Santa Claus
No, you can't fight Christmas
You know I'm right
You can't fight Christmas When Santa Claus’s big night comes
Thank you!
Oh, thank you.
You were very good.
It was good.
Let's sing another one. Start please.
No.
No sir.
Kevin, when you look up, what do you see?
Leslie, it's beautiful.
Do you see a star in the top of my tree? I do not.
Where the fuck is the star of my tree?
This is not for the star from the tree, right?
Kevin, take care of your affairs, I will take care of mine.
Get the star!
Do you need a friend's hug?
What I need is confirm the number of boys
that will come from Holy Redeemer.
And change that floral arrangement in the atrium.
And can you water the withered Christmas flowers?
And get that wizard king What does Katt Williams look like?
And then come with me to ...
Where?
Velvet lips
What?
Hot cocoa skin.
What?
You frosted the cookie.
No, well, no ...
But you didn't tell me anything.
- I know. - That...
I'm here and he is here, so ...
He doesn't know that I know what he wants to do,
But I know, what do I do?
Now you ask me?
Yeah come on.
Come on!
Do you know that man Can you end your business?
Obviously, I didn't think about it.
It's okay. No problem.
Belinda will help you.
Agree.
You have to be cold.
- Cold? - Like ice.
And then you kick and you get rid of him.
Yes?
Ice queen.
- Ice queen. - Ice queen.
Ice queen.
Hi.
Edmund
You left early.
Yes.
I dreamed of you.
Sweet visions and hostile acquisitions
were you around?
No.
- I thought we had ... - I also.
I saw your plans.
- Did you check my stuff? - I was looking for my shoes.
On my desk?
This is not what I want. So...
Too bad, because last night ...
Edmund, we had fun last night.
Well, it meant something to me. But we will never agree.
I think we need to talk.

I need to talk to you about personal details before leaving to the airport.
Jesus, let me keep this work.
OMG!
Hi, do you have a minute?
I didn't think you had it. You are always very busy.
They don't tell me Miss Christmas for nothing.
But we have to talk.
And I think I know what.
You like Edmund.
No what?
They were just business.
- Please, Mr. James. - It's okay.
Your secret is safe with me.
Mr. James, I'm ...
I see how he looks at you.
- He looks at me. - Yes.
Agree.
But you came to tell me something.
Yes.
Clear.
You, here, this place ...
Leslie, what do you want to tell me?
Mr. James, don't you know what's going on in the Chesterton?
At this precise moment? It's Christmas.
No, I mean the plan that Edmund and Millicent have.
They will dismantle the hotel.
Edmund assured me that the changes you make
They will be gradual and careful.
I trust my grandson.
I don't want to imply that I shouldn't.
Leslie
When my father bought it, This was a passers-by hotel.
We build the Chesterton from nothing.
We made it great.
The best artists passed through here,
Luther and Billie, Tina.
- And Stevie last year. - You remember.
Yes.
This place is an icon. in our community
My grandson will take care of this hotel and its people.
Not according to this.

Catapult us head to the future,
after passing the grader.

I knew we were staying no money, but ...
What? Penniless?
More and more people are coming at Christmas. But the rest of the year ...
What? It gives me an increaseFive percent every year.
He never said anything.
We can't survive Only thanks to Christmas.
I guess we can't fight Against change
Do you know what you can't fight with?
What?
Christmas.
Christmas!
It is the Chesterton. We can do both.
We can continue to be the historic hotel and traditional that we always were
and adapt to the new times.

And I have a plan to prove it.
If you leave me
That would be fantastic.
Good luck.
I will not need luck.

She is not for him.
And you do?
Do you even register?
- I dont know. - Good.
You only talked to him once from room service.
- Yes, but ... - Smile with your eyes.
We had a connection.
Look.
You have to have more Christmas spirit
to compete With the good lady in theory.
I must show you
Which has the best option in front.
I don't want him to end it with her.
Exactly, that's what I'm talking about.
Well, then I have two things to do.

Sure, in all your plans, I end up doing dirty work.
And Kevin too.
I delegate to you, and you to him. It is the cycle of life.
Okay, I'll keep her away.
Where did i leave my dictionary of black bourgeois?
I have to answer this call. I'll catch up with you right away.
Agree.
Hi Frank,
thanks.
No, we don't have the ring yet.
It is just a formality.
Anyway, listen. I need your help.
It's about modernization of Chesterton.
There is an annoying fly.
The decorator is bringing me problems,
so I want to convince her that we are on your side ...
That's right, I want it to seem like we support her
to expand your company
While we expand the hotel.
Put it under my command So I can get rid of her.
Leslie Major
The name of your company is Major Designs.
What has to be a good name? I just want it to disappear.
Thank you.
Now you let me know with Marshall's office?
Yes, without Edmund.
It's okay.
Hello Leslie.
Hi Edmund. You came back
Yes.
I sent you messages all week.
You know it's a busy time.
Also, you seemed to be engaged.
Hello grandfather.
How are you?
Edmund, let's talk.
Leslie thinks this hotel It is going away,
That you will destroy it.
That is not my plan at all.
It is according to this.
This is only for investors.
I trusted you.
Grandpa, it's just to convince them.
- I never wanted... - Break my heart.
No, grandpa. That was not my intention.
I dedicated 40 years of my life to this.
I know.
I struggled to build a community
inside and outside the hotel.
You will lose the hotel.
I know you don't want to hear that, but as things go,
The numbers do not close.
Son.
In business Not only do numbers matter.
It matters people.
I know, but profits are needed ...
No.
You know.
But you don't feel it.
Leslie Do you have a moment?
Yes of course. How can I help you? I'm going to a meeting.
You have to control those elves, right?
I know you think what I do here It's not important,
But it is, for me and for the hotel.
That's exactly what Edmund and I thought.
We face the problem badly.
And I don't consider my business a problem.
Of course not.
In fact, we are letting go a great opportunity.
What are you talking about?
Well, with the marriage ...
Did I mention that Edmund and I We got engaged?
Wonderful. Congratulations.
Everything is so new I don't know who I told.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
You should go out and meet someone.
You got your thing, and tic tac, right?
Did you freeze your eggs?
But as I said, with the wedding at the door,
Edmund and I want everyone's support
here in the Chesterton.
And what do I have to do?
Would you like to work full time
as the company of official design and events
of the Chesterton?
It's a very generous offer, but ...
Think about it.
It can't be Major Designs
if you don't leave the minor leagues.
True?
Motivation.
Did I hear that conversation well?
I don't trust that woman.
I may have lost man,
But I will not lose the hotel.
Are you unpacking or stealing? Because I have an electric gun.
¿Thomas?
Miss Major?
Please help me.
Come on.
Be careful or Christmas is going to catch her.
It's okay.
This year, everything has to be Better and bigger.
Is your turn over?
Yes, I was about to leave.
If you have time, can you help me tonight?
For an extra little money, always.
Good. Take this.
Take that box to the living room.
Perfect, right away.
I better turn it on.
I already tried it about 100 times.
What if I tried it too much And I burned a light bulb?
Enough.
Attentive.
That woman ... Here she comes.
Miss Williams?
Millicent
Millicent Can I call you Millie?
No.
Do you need something?
My reception is at 7:00, I have to go.
No, that's why we are here.
- A lost. - In room two.
No, it is where the reception will be.
Do not worry.
We booked room three.
And we spend it at 7:30.
I will call Edmund, the investors.
We already did all that.
- What? - Everything is alright.
Mr. James and us We take care of everything.

Of everything?
- Everything. - Everything. Do not worry.
I am amazed. It is perfect.
Very subtle and sophisticated
and clinical

A sample of what we can do.
Will serve. And very good.
And that's not all.
Mr. James organized A day of espá for you.
Hairdressing, manicure, makeup. From head to toe, dear.
We already sent your dress to the spa. You just have to stay fabulous.
No, I have to check my guest list ...
No.
Dear, we take care of everything.
Mr. James will see you at 7:30.
You really care a lot.
He cares?
If much.
I was not expecting any of this.
It is typical of Edmund.
That Edmund
All you have to do is go
And marvel, dear!
Thomas, can you accompany to Miss Williams ...
Millicent to spy?
Yes, sure, Christmas guy?
Have a fantastic time, my dear.
You deserve it.
Goodbye.
Okay, Kevin.
Put the poster to ... Killundine's accounting study,
non-fiscal, non-fiscal, and without fun ...
Just put "end of the year party", yes?
- It is understood. - Well ... Please!
- No. - But why do I do the dirty work?
Kevin.
It is the cycle of life.
Find someone to delegate.
It is hilarious.
Cycle, a ...
This is how it is done.
Is it too flashy?
No, I love it that way, black and flashy.
You can stay!
Thanks, Leslie.
Why? I should thank you.
No, I really need this.
The money?
It is not just money.
This year there will be no Christmas for me.
Why?
Last year your little sister ...
- Brie. - Yes.
She lit the star on Christmas Eve at midnight.
That gave me the idea to invite the boys of the church.
Truly?
And I hope to see your beautiful face too.
I dont know.
Since my mother died, my dad ...
There is so much drama in my house, I would not understand.
I'm sorry.
But all this ...
This really cheers me up.
It helps me to forget of what's going on
I hope you know that under all this
there is the spirit that we carry inside.
It is within everyone.
Take it out depends on us.
That's the good thing about Christmas, Thomas.
Can you give me an amen?
I give you an amen!
And that is all you need.
It is all you need.
What? Is it the only thing he will give me? An amen?
You know what? If not...
Yes, I will pay you. Go do something with the lights.
What a crazy boy.
- Wait. - Wow.
The cucumber will not fix your personality.
- Heavens! - Wait. Now.
Be sure to keep it busy.
They took out their phones.
- But... - Both.
Someone called her bra.
Hi?
I need that.
But look who came!
- OMG! - You look ... Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. You look sensational.
Equally.
Try this.
- What is it? - Yes.
Something I prepared.
- In one, two, three. - In agreement.
They say.
What would they do without me?
It's me and two assistants, and voilà.
Why not?
What the hell is going on here?
This is unacceptable. You have to come. Already! Millicent!
Are you in Room Two? There was a loss.
They passed us to Tres.
Edmund: I'm in Dos, and investors too.
Edmund: Where are you?
WHAT THE HELL?
What I can do...?
What can I do in 60 minutes?
- Arnold! - Yes.
Yes. How good it could come.
Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas to you. - Good.
Miss Major, can we talk?
I'm here. Bu!
Hi.
Yes. Here you are.
And with my favorite banker.
Interesting hotel choice "Who takes business seriously."
At least this lovely lady He offered me a ...
Mistletoe Mule.
They understand? Baby.
- Mule mistletoe! - How ingenious!
Leslie Let's talk a moment. You and me.
You need something to drink.
I think we should give you a "Santa Claus is rum-giving."
I do not stop. I go on and on.
Yes. One after another.
Today happened. But you enjoy it, Arnold.
- We'll be right back. - Yes.
We will continue with our conversation in a moment. You and me.
OMG...
What the hell did you do?
I know it's not exactly what you had planned.
Isn't that what I planned?
What Santa Claus would throw up about my investors?
You know how important it is for me.
For the hotel, you mean. No?
Yes.
And have no profit for this It is also important.
Edmund, come on.
We can make changes, and with faith,
Christmas can be good business.
You have no idea What are good deals about?
You live to decorate trees. Stay in your area.
Wait.
I do magic in this hotel since long before That you decided to return.
Edmund, this is a disaster.
I know, and we have You do something immediately.
And where were you?
She and her minions lied to me.
They said the reception would be elsewhere
and that you were taking care of everything.
That's true?
- Yes, but I was trying ... - Cheat us all.
Like when you said you and your fiance Would you invest in my company?
- Sorry? - Yes.
And he said he couldn't play in the major leagues
if I didn't leave the minor leagues.
- Never mind. - More lies.
Edmund
I just try to show you the important That is Christmas for the hotel.
- For J.J. and for me. - Leslie ...
You can't spray tinsel in the problem and solve it.
This is serious. It is the future of my hotel.
But I try to tell you ...
We know what you wanted to do.
Edmund
What are you going to do?
Leslie ...
- I believe that... - I get it.
I'm going. It's okay.
Edmund, you disappoint me.
I expected much more ...
You are nothing but an executive.
It's okay.
Now I am here. Let's put things in their place.
Come on Scottie.
you know you want to Some of my festive spirit.
Hell, that guy.
Save me those lips.
Friend in trouble.
What happens?
- I was about to enter. - Do not bother yourself.
That man tries to destroy Christmas.
Take it easy.
Maybe you just need one of those Jo Jo-tinis.
It is the fastest.
- Look... - Not now.
I'm going home.
To be honest...
Who likes these bad taste trinkets?
I have to admit it, Edmund ...
Yes you know how to launch a new concept.
With this festive atmosphere, I see profits in the future.
What are you talking about, Mr. Willis?
Call me Arnold.
We will talk.
Merry Christmas.
Excellent work.
Millicent
No, leave it
It's okay like that. We are fine.
It's Christmas, right?
What were we on
- Can not be. - Where is Leslie?
He went to his house. It left you.
I need your adress.
Do you expect me to give you your address?
Look, I was wrong. I need to apologize. Immediately.
Not in any way.
I'm your boss.
The magical words. Give me your phone number.
What?
Do I have to fire Belinda?
No, she cares about you.
Besides, I threatened her.
I can't believe the queen of Christmas
Don't have a single Christmas decoration.
You really don't understand.
I'm only interested in spreading joy.
Give it, don't receive it.
I guess I was too busy ruining your hotel
You didn't ruin anything.
Everything went well.
I guess you and Millicent were right.
You know what they do.
Never mind.
Leslie, you're not listening to me.
You did a great job.
To the investors They loved your ideas. Everything.
- Did you love my ideas? - Yes, that told you!
Imagine.
Are you serious?
You can't fight Christmas.
I came to apologize.
Seriously?
When I met you, you were like ...
A ball of energy.
And ... You woke up something inside me.
That is your spirit.
Whatever it is, it's great.
But it's not swarm
And I need something solid.
I need to know every morning when I wake up
How will my day be?
Every detail, every aspect, every variable.
Here I am.
You and I U.S...
we had a lot of fun, but ...
It is not logical.
I need to be logical.
I'm leaving tomorrow night.
With Millicent.
- Are you really going to marry her? - I dont know.
But it is practical.
And maybe with that I must settle.
Well, I will never settle.
- How long will they stay? - Until 26.
How good.
Again, grandpa, I'm so sorry.
But I swear I had The best intentions.
I knew you would reconsider.
You carry Chesterton in your blood.
Yes.
I guess it's about of seeing things with other eyes.
She is special, isn't she?
I have to attend.
Speak Edmund.
Damn it, Santa Claus.
Miss Major, are you all right?
Yes.
Get this old man off me.
Help me.
- Merry Christmas. - Jo, jo, fuck.
That does not seem very Christmas.
I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood
Are you going to let him leave the hotel
and of your life?
Mr. James, he doesn't love me.
I know my grandson well. He has no idea what he wants.
But I know what he needs.
Won't they stay for the big revelation?
We can not. We have to respect the program.
No, Edmund?
Yes, the program.
Also, lights on a tree they are not ninA novelty.
We landed in Boston at nine.
We could call Copley Capital,
See if they receive us tomorrow.
Edmund?
Tomorrow is christmas.
Clear.
We will call on 26.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WILL LIVE FOREVER IN CHESTERTON
I can not do it.
Then, we will call 27.
No.
I can't marry you.
What?
I am not in love with you.
What are you talking about?
We have mutual respect and trust.
Love will come later.
No.
Sorry. Park please.
What is this all about? Is it because of the decorator?
His name is Leslie.
Edmund Think wisely.
Think of us
Do you have any idea what you are doing?
No.
For the first time in my life, i do not know what I'm doing.
And I like.
Kevin, Christmas sold me out.
Hi Belinda.
I’m Edmund James.
I need your help.
No, I don't think I can help.
Edmund? Short.
- He hurt our friend. - No wait.
What?
No.
Seriously?
It's okay.
Kevin, we have A Christmas emergency Come on.
- No. - Come on.
Come on, I said!
Sorry.
Vodka seven and vodka.
That is a good Christmas drink.
What are we celebrating or not celebrating?
Love is crap.
- Health. - Thank you.
If it wasn't for this excellent party,
my life would not have No Christmas spirit.
I am glad to hear that.
And if my love life were so wonderful as my decoration ...
Darling, you won't beat me.
Try it.
I just got engaged to a millionaire
to make the man jealous
I really love
Agree.
I fell in love with a guy who is not for me,
that is very committed,
And what can you throw me out?
We have a tie.
Yes.
I have to fix this Before it gets worse
I trust you.
You don't know me
I know you have good taste in Christmas decorations.
It is true.
Said that,
I have to go to the lobby
to make sure of the star lighting up.
Because remember, It is the Christmas tradition of Chesterton.
I trust you.
That phrase is mine.
It is a good phrase.
- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
Thomas, I didn't recognize you.
Is it all you have to tell me When am I this elegant?
I'm sorry.
Did you see my staff?
Will they be with your Christmas joy?
I have to do everything alone, fuck.
Yes.
Leslie Major
You're the best.
If this is my last Christmas,
It's a big parting.
Do not say that. But I'm glad you like it.
- I like it. - Yes.
The time has come.
OMG!
It's amazing to see their radiant faces here it isTa night.
Thank you very much for coming.
Last year we started a tradition in Chesterton:
A very special girl lit our star
And I see her here tonight With your handsome brother.
Let's give it a round of applause. Brie, come closer.
- May l? - Clear.
Are you ready to press the switch?
- Miss Leslie? - Yes?
I wondered, as I already did once,
and it's Christmas
Maybe other kids want to do it.
Isn't it a love?
Come on, the more, the better.
- Good. - Let's do it.
Yes, let's do it.
They are ready?
Let's all count.
Ten, nine, eight,
seven six five
four three two
one!
Go announce it to the mountains
On the other side of the hills And everywhere
Go announce it to the mountains
That Jesus was already born
Thanks Thomas.
Look, it's snowing a lot!
On purpose, You were splendid tonight.
Thanks, I went to the Christmas party here.
Did you meet anyone
A gentleman doesn't count those things.
But yes.
And you? Will you do something special this holiday season?
Does anyone wait for you?
This was my Christmas party.
I will only go home to rest.
Merry Christmas.
But don't rest much.
Go out for fun tonight.
Yes sir.
- Goodnight. - Merry Christmas.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WILL LIVE FOREVER IN CHESTERTON
Forever.
Let's hope.
What?
Surprise!
I can't believe you guys.
You. Did they do all this?
We took almost everything from the hotel.
Hears! No.
We had help.
Help?
Yes.
Edmund?
Shouldn't you be on a flight?
Change of plans.
Did you do this for me?
Hi!
- This type... - No, he's lying.
He did everything for you. We did it for you.
- Merry Christmas. - Goodbye.
Wow I left you speechless.
I guess you approve.
Its beautiful.
Do you want to teach me how to do my job?
No.
A job you will continue to have, by the way.
What?
What? It's okay.
Yes, the Chesterton tradition ...
will live forever.
What a catchy slogan.
I'm glad you changed your mind.
But I will need your help.
If we keep Christmas celebrations,
we have to improve revenue the rest of the year.
Are you sure?
I thought ours was not logical.
You needed a Miss Practice.
To hell with the practical.
I thought the woman I love I wouldn't doubt it for a second.
That you love?
Yes.
I think I love you.
Agree.
I think I love you too.
That is a good deal.
And I love good business.
I know.
This is the Christmas I want ... Make the woman I love happy.
Love and Christmas
What more could ask?
Good job.
- But I'm not going to hire you. - As you say.
- Come on. - Yes please.
