[Music]

Gracie

you're not gonna get me any trouble

today are you

good girl

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what are you still doing here then

you're at the 3am seating it's a farm

man it's not a nine to five operation

I don't know what we do without you well

you might find out sooner than later

I haven't been paid for the last two

weeks

I'm working on it I'm sorry we haven't

gotten the fourth quarter section yet I

understand them

I hate to even bother you because I know

you always come through but

it's Christmas

Gary and I wanted to surprise the kids

with a trip to Florida

but if you can't then we'll wait

Gloria one way or another I promise you

you will be spending spring break on a

beach in Clearwater

well that's a bummer because we were

planning on going to Orlando

even better

I promise I'll get you there

[Music]

better

they always do

I hope you're right

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

hey Mom

what smells so good chicken soup it's on

the stove don't eat too much you want to

give some to the neighbors oh well we

could always give them ice cream you

want to help me with the Santas

I wish I could

go decorate the barn for the barn party

everything okay

not feeling very Christmassy

we're late paying Glory I hate doing

that to her sweetheart she understands

the end of the year is always difficult

sick of things being difficult

how did Dad do it

it was an eternal optimist

that's why I loved him so much

he believed that with hard work and

perseverance that everything would work

out

yeah

I just want to go back to celebrating

Christmas like we used to

will heavy

lovely Christmas

look I have almost half the Santas out

this is half the sandwich

Mom I love you there's nothing that

warms my heart more than a house full of

fantasy

well your father was the one to add to

the collection every year

well here to give me one more

I could use some of dad's Christmas

spirit right about now

me too

[Music]

I do

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

hey Dad

[Music]

I could really use a Christmas miracle

right now

[Music]

I don't know how much longer I can keep

this going

if I can't pay Gloria I'm afraid she's

gonna leave us and

I know for certain that we can't do this

without her

if you're out there will you please give

me a sign

something

to let me know that this will all be

okay

oh are you kidding me dad I didn't think

you'd actually give me one

[Music]

okay

I guess I'll just trust you

and I

will hang in there

we'll wait for our Christmas miracle

foreign

[Music]

so good to see you

hey Trey come on in

how are things on the farm

what I wanted to talk to you about

I need to extend our line of credit just

until the fourth quarter subsidy comes

in Emily I hate to be a scrooge here but

extending your credit line any further

it's not really a wise thing to do

I just need to make it to the end of the

year

let's have a seat

maybe you should think about selling the

farm

a lot of real estate developers would

drool over that property Trey

you knew my dad that's the last thing

he'd want me to do

you sure I've inherited your father's

positive outlook on things

but it's not always the most practical

way of approaching business and that's

what this is

just business not to me and my family

he entrusted that farm to me Emily

he may have left you an impossible task

hey what

nothing

just extend our equity line for one

month and get me to the end of the year

come on it's Christmas

let me get the paperwork thank you

[Music]

oh hey how's your sister doing

Dorothy yeah she's uh

I don't know I haven't talked to her in

a while why do you ask oh no reason I I

just thought it might be nice to catch

up with her you know over the holidays

she's pretty settled in New York I don't

think she's gonna come home for

Christmas but I'll tell her that you

said hi next time I talk to her oh yeah

sure I mean if if you think she'd

appreciate that that would be it's so

nice

I'll be right back

[Music]

jingle bells jingle bells I got bills to

pay

oh greasy

I told you we've got the barn dance

coming up and I'm trying to clean things

up I cannot have you going around making

messes okay excuse me I'm sorry

hi oh

I didn't know anyone else was here

I didn't mean to interrupt

you were in the middle of a conversation

oh uh

Gracie knows how to undo the latch and

so she's been wandering around and

you know what never mind

no please please go on

[Music]

it's just that my dad used to talk to

the cows and he used to say

oh it's a productive cow

Dorothy hey sis

what are you doing here I've come to

save Christmas what I see you've already

met Charlie

he's working with me on a project so

this is your sister

uh Dorothy's told me a lot about you oh

has she I guess of course I have them

you're my sister and I'm here to help

good the cow stalls in Makino now

can we go inside and talk

sure

let me put Gracie away

what's she doing here

ignore her all right

it's too bad mom's not here I know she

would have loved to see you

well I've been asking her to come visit

me in the city for years

well you know Mom she's a country girl

through and through

it's like her favorite daughter

Worthy

she'll be home in a few hours can you

stay for dinner I was planning on it

that's great

so how are things going here on the farm

really

then perhaps you can explain this

maybe you've forgotten him but Dad left

the farm to both of us

why didn't you tell me we were so far

behind

I should have

I didn't want to admit it to myself let

alone anyone else

[Music]

does Mom know no you know how much she

worries

she should be worried Emily this is

serious

it's fine I went to go see Trey at the

bank today oh how is Trey he's good

I was trying no one don't worry about it

Dorothy's High School Crush

anyway

Trey has agreed to extend our line of

credit which only means you're delaying

the inevitable if you can't turn this

around

like I said I'm here to save Christmas

what does that mean

I have an offer to buy the farm

what just hear me out no absolutely not

dad would Dad wouldn't want us to lose

the farm to bankruptcy which is where

we're heading Charlie here represents an

investment group that's interested in

buying the property out of the question

and he's going to tell you about the

offer no that's completely unacceptable

and then we'll discuss not even a

possibility Dorothy options no

go ahead Charlie well like your sister

said I represent an investment group

that's interested in the property one of

our clients is a dairy conglomerate

Dairy world and they're willing to pay a

fair price well more than fair really

and they want to keep it operating as a

dairy farm which means at least the

property will remain Farmland it'll get

us caught up and it'll give us all you

me and Mom a little Nest Egg I don't

care about a nest egg I want to keep the

farm

look Emily I don't like this any more

than you do I don't know about that you

seem pretty proud of yourself the

reality is the Farm's losing money we're

falling further behind so unless you

have some kind of Christmas miracle up

your sleeve

yes

what a Christmas miracle

what is your share of the farm worth

four hundred thousand dollars

it's the bio price we agreed to when Dad

passed

fine then I'll buy you out

excuse me you heard me I will buy you

out and don't you dare say a word about

this to Mom you let me tell her Emily

you can't even afford to pay your bills

how are you gonna buy me out

I'll figure it out

like a miracle but I will figure it out

this has been amazing it's so rare that

I get a home-cooked meal these days be

careful what you say around my mother

you might go home with three weeks worth

of leftovers oh watch Emily but you

should definitely take some leftovers

Dorothy it's so good to see you you need

to come home more often well you can

always come visit me in the city mom

on that

so far away

until what brings you to town

just

business

my two daughters successful business

women

I love your Sans can you tell me a

little more about them

you're my husband's mothers

she collected them from all over the

world

they're wonderful you never told me

about the Santas

creepy

I gave me nightmares as a kid

what are your plans for Christmas can

you stay oh no we've got to be heading

back to the city and Charlie yeah I'm

gonna stick around for the sale of the

farm

excuse me Mom what what do you mean the

sale of the farm it's nothing mom don't

worry about it whoa

it's not nothing

[Music]

um we're having a little cash flow issue

a little we're gonna take care of it

Emily

wait a minute summer please tell me

what's going on here Mom

the farm is going under and we need to

sell

[Music]

so good to see you Dorothy

it was really nice to meet you Charlie

don't forget the leftovers

[Music]

excuse me

I'm sorry

I'm sorry I didn't just why would you

upset her like that why would you lie to

her you think she won't notice when they

foreclose and the auctioneer shows up to

sell the house out from under her and

all our Santas don't bring the Santas

into this don't you dare it's not about

the Santas I'm trying to save the farm

and I'm trying to save our future

hey maybe I'll just head back to

the hook the deadline is December 31st

to commit to the sale

but everything pretty much closes down

between Christmas and New Year's so we

have until Christmas Eve after that the

sale is going forward

look I'm sorry I'm really sorry we're

we're just trying to help

really

I should have told you

did it get so bad him

it's not like I did it on purpose I

worked as hard as I possibly could

and

month after month we just got a little

further and further behind

but I asked you

who said you had it all under control

it might have been a tiny bit of Pride

involved

I'm so sorry Mama

I'm so embarrassed

foreign

we're done

with what

a soaking and feeling sorry for

ourselves

time to move on and

solve the problem

[Music]

just like that

yes just like that

[Music]

it's not a problem

it's a challenge

no you sound like your father

thank you

he gave me a sign you know

[Music]

you kiss them to me all the time

[Music]

okay let's list our assets and

liabilities liabilities first that's

easy money we need lots of money time we

have less than three weeks until

Christmas Eve

what about the season it's winter the

ice cream Shop's closed yep what about

overhead overhead's a big one

feed payroll maintenance electricity I

call Dorothy a liability

she's the one that got us into this mess

no Dorothy just sped up the inevitable

she's the one making us face the problem

challenge

what about Charlie

unknown

he is trying to sell the farm but

he is very Charming he has kind eyes and

he did compliment my Santa's okay we're

getting completely off track here

we know what our liabilities are

what are our assets other than Dorothy

she's not an asset whatever you know

what I mean

you know what we have

we have the best tasting ice cream in

the entire world that's what we have

and you know what else we have

we have us yes

three of the smartest hardest working

most capable women I know that's right

so which one of these liabilities can we

actually do something about

overheads pretty fixed we're already

operating pretty lean and we can't move

Christmas

why can't we do something about this one

uh well because we can't change the

position of the rotational axis of the

Earth relative to the Sun

just saying all right well it's cold

outside right now and we're all sitting

here eating ice cream new englanders do

eat more ice cream per capita than

anywhere else in the country and we eat

it year round so why is the ice cream

shop closed

that's what we've always done

that's silly people still want ice cream

so that's it

we open the shop

ice cream for Christmas

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

's ice cream

it's you

I guess I deserve that

no uh

stray cows in here today well I wouldn't

say that it looks like one just walked

in

look I come in peace

you're actually who I needed to speak to

if you're here to talk me into selling

again no no you made yourself clear

yesterday

I just have to take a look around

I have to show the buyers of facilities

tomorrow

I thought I should see them first well

don't let me hold you up I'm pretty busy

I can see that

something else

yeah well while I'm here what's good

[Music]

everything

okay okay what

give me a super year six best with

sprinkles

we call them jimmies

what you do

okay then with Jimmy's

seriously

okay one gigantic Sunday coming right up

[Music]

[Music]

can't say I didn't warn you

need anything else

no uh

um actually

second spoon it's a lot of ice cream for

one person

[Music]

that is unless you're really busy with

other customers

[Music]

what about this one

buttermilk chip to one of our best

sellers

mocha pecan that one's Dorothy's

favorite

oh wow

you're right

it's good everything is really good

happy cows

happy cows

that is a ring to it

Dorothy said that the shop was closed

during the winter well we opened this

Christmas I figured we could use the

extra Revenue

you're just missing one thing don't say

customers I didn't have to you did

[Music]

have you thought about advertising

I don't know if you've heard but we're

struggling I don't have the budget for

Billboards or radio ads that's not your

only problem you need to come up with

four hundred thousand dollars before

Christmas Eve

that means you sell what

200 000 cones in the next

what you need is a way to generate Buzz

without spending money you need to get

people talking about you you need to

give them something that gets them

excited and brings you Revenue

you need something like a like a contest

[Music]

there it is

we could have our customers come up with

their favorite Christmas flavors winner

gets the lifetime supply of free ice

cream you're trying to save money

winner gets a year supply of free ice

cream

we'll engage our loyal customers if we

can sell them on the fun of ice cream at

Christmas time they'll be our Advocates

our investors they'll be our partners

you can set up a crowdfunding campaign

let them contribute and that will bring

in extra customers Charlie if this works

this could completely change things

around for us if we can get customers to

buy ice cream year round we could be

profitable

why are you helping me

you're supposed to be selling the farm

[Music]

I might feel a little bit guilty about

what happened at dinner

you mean when you said exactly the thing

that I asked you not to say

yes

okay

but I am

I also don't mind a fair fight

good you're about to get one

hi I'm Emily white and this is our

family dairy farm we've been in

operation for over 50 years since my

father took over the business from my

grandfather

but the reality of operating a dairy

farm in today's day and age ah it okay

cut

um

depressing uh nobody wants to donate to

a sinking ship it's like throwing a

bucket of water on the Titanic

we gotta spin it make it fun

try it again

okay

action

I'm Emily white and this is our family

dairy farm we've been operating for over

50 years as a family business nobody

wants to see us get bought out by a big

Corporation we refuse to go the way of

so many other Family Farms Across

America okay cut

that's not really fun

um okay we need to appeal to their

hearts

not just their hearts they're taste buds

cream

[Music]

okay

hi hi

I saw your crowdfunding site

do you have a flavor idea the suggestion

box is on the counter no no I don't want

to submit a flavor

I want to submit an offer

sorry what I want to buy your farm

the Farm's not for sale

everything's for sale Miss White no

no listen

I appreciate the effort with the

crowdfunding appeal I do I really do

but

I know when a farm is on the verge of

bankruptcy and making one last

desperation play

I'm not sure what you're talking about

I think you know exactly what I'm

talking about

look

Your Land

it's worth 10 times what you get by

selling the dairy world

thank you for stopping by Mr Samuels

but I'm not interested in selling to

Dairy world or to anyone else perhaps

you'll try our Christmas Kiss flavor

that way your trip won't have been a

complete waste of time

it's white

you have my card let me know if you

change your mind

have a good day

those are the farmers from dairy World

consolidated

how long have they been here

a couple hours

how you feeling about all this are you

kidding I feel terrible my stomach's in

knots

are we gonna pull this off

I got a long way to go

I gotta get back to

back to work hey hi

well that went well they're very

impressed with the operation it's very

encouraging

look I know you're not excited by the

whole idea but if push comes to shove

it'll be nice to know that the farm is

in good hands right

right

[Music]

good morning

[Music]

can I give you a hand

I got it

listen about earlier you don't need to

explain you have the job too

look for what it's worth

I'm rooting for you

thanks me too

seriously is there anything at all

around here that I could help you with

I'm getting a little cooped up in my

hotel

how are you the Bosa

so you cut down a tree every year one of

the perks of living on a farm I told Mom

I'd cut a tree down for her what do you

mean for her isn't it for the both of

you

I don't know I'm having trouble getting

in the Christmas spirit this year

me

I saw you this morning at the counter

you seemed like you had plenty of

Christmas cheer for all your customers

it seems like you really care about them

well they're not just customers I've

known most of them my entire life

my dad believed in giving back to the

community which is why I can't just get

rid of this Farm

I'm a small lot

he seemed like he got into the Christmas

spirit How Many Santas did you get

over a hundred

they love the way Chris has brought the

whole family together

everybody except for Dorothy

things were different when we were kids

so you don't see much of her these days

even at Christmas time

I grew apart

I killed my dad when she moved to the

city my mom too

it's a shame

and now she's back just in time to sell

the farm

thank you

can't believe how busy the creamer has

been

it's exciting I think I scooped more ice

cream today than I have than the entire

year your ideas really working so just

my idea it's Charlie's too

it was so nice of him to help with the

tree

[Music]

I love this one I think I made this in

like third grade yeah you did

that was your father's favorite

but this one this one

is my favorite

your father gave this to me on our 25th

wedding anniversary

um

hey I just want to say thank you for a

great day and I'm headed back to the

hotel

what are you doing for dinner

honestly I don't know um

but I should get going so oh

please stay Emily has a far too much my

company for one day well I haven't

I meet a gentleman who enjoys my Santas

as much as I do

I insist

don't look at me when she starts

insisting the only option is surrender

I'm in I'm in

as long as you let me make dessert

[Music]

oh

you're gonna love this it's special

family recipe

to heck with that buttoned up business

Persona I think you found your true

calling

uh oh

actually this is great I um I don't get

to cook much at home why not

busy

a lot too busy selling other people's

Farms

Emily

you know mostly I do commercial real

estate

not a lot of family farms in the city

we'll see

laughs

wow

[Music]

that is beautiful Grandma's Mile Hi

apple pie absolutely beautiful

[Music]

we can have apple pie without the

world's greatest vanilla ice cream apple

pie Alamo

nothing bad

[Music]

that brings me back

smell of the pie combined with the wood

fire and the freshly cut tree

that's Christmas just like my grandma

used to do

with a hundred Santas watching

this pie is absolutely delicious

it is really good what's your secret

nope

I'm not gonna jump kudos to the chef

oh may I say for the record

my pie and your ice cream

our match made in heaven

well you might be onto something

[Music]

come on

that was so delicious

you don't want to put the added

ingredients in too soon or they get all

minced up if you want to keep it chunky

the last bit when there's just a couple

of minutes left

in the freezing process

that's what happens next

wait wait

okay

I really think this could be a winner

that'd be ironic huh your flavor is the

one that saves the farm for my sister's

plan

what's been the best so far

it's hard to say there's been a lot of

really creative entries

here come here

oh wow look at all these incredible

flavors yeah people have been pretty

enthusiastic

and interesting fruitcake ice cream I

don't think that one's gonna sell

you know she's not a bad person

Dorothy

I think she just doesn't quite get what

Farm life means to me and Mom even when

we were kids she couldn't wait to move

to the city she graduated and left right

away

I could never imagine living somewhere

else you know I grew up in family

business as well

my dad used to always say business is

business but family is family

take care of the ones you love

it's ready

[Music]

all right here's hoping yours is the

winning flavor

oh oh

wow wow

that is like a Christmas flavor

explosion

quit hugging it hey excuse me you are

gonna have to wait in line with all the

other customers that's my pie I have

dibs okay

oh

you can taste the flaky pie crust

brown sugar cinnamon apples but there's

there's something else in there what is

that

nutmeg it's nutmeg I told you I'm not

going to tell

what do we call this apple pie no it's

too simple it's got to be about the

feeling

[Music]

I mean but it's got to be about the

combination like like Grandma's apple

pie

Alamo that's too long and it has to be

about Christmas

Christmas

that's great yes

[Music]

thank you Chuck

you're welcome

[Music]

I think I'm going to need you to make a

bunch more pots I feel like this is

going to be a big seller

yeah

I um I actually have to head back to the

city in the morning so

but I guess I could be a little bit late

if I get up first thing in the morning

and go shopping

you know for a guy who's trying to sell

our farm you're not half bad

[Music]

half bad yourself

[Music]

tonight

[Music]

baby

[Music]

every minute

[Music]

Christmas

baby Christmas

[Music]

Alamo

I can't thank you enough for all your

help you're welcome let me know how it

goes I will

thank you

[Music]

full of gifts for me and you say I

missed you baby

[Music]

contest Christmas is in the air Emily

yeah thank you so much for having me on

we've had a lot of really great

Solutions so far Ebenezer's curmudgeon

crunch reindeer run hot toddy fruitcake

which sounds terrible but I promise it's

really good

look at this

[Music]

ice cream flavor ideas that reminded

them of the holiday season

here you go Merry Christmas what are we

doing on the swirl

we're low oh no

that's it for the Christmas Island mode

where's the rest of Charlie's pies we

went through all 10 of them already

seriously we need more pies we'll make

them I don't have Charlie's recipe

regular recipe no no the customers will

be able to tell the difference can't

fake that one okay I call Charlie I

don't have his number what

I guess I could call Dorothy but that's

awkward call her

I'm so sorry everybody but we are out of

the Christmas Ola mode well we have lots

of other delicious flavors

hey Dorothy it's me Emily oh hello

sister you ready to sell Charlie tells

me negotiations with dairy world are

going well

that's not why I'm calling is Charlie

available

why

he left something up here or rather he

took something back down there with him

and I just want to talk to him about it

which is it it doesn't matter I just

need to ask him about it and maybe have

him send it up to me well

tell me what it is and I'll ask him no

I'd rather not can you just give me his

number

I'm not sure I want to do that

please Dorothy it's important amen it

might if you're calling me

look if you won't give me his number

will you just please have him call me

please out of the goodness of your heart

who says there is any goodness in my

heart

I'm just the evil sister who wants to

sell the farm remember Dorothy thanks

for calling him make sure you call again

next time you need something

[Music]

Dorothy what is the deal with this new

offer are you that was weird

what Emily

she just called that wanted to talk to

you

really why she wouldn't say except that

you brought something back here to New

York or something like that it really

wasn't clear what happened up there

after I left

showed the buyers around and had dinner

with Emily and my mother

yeah well that was nothing evidently not

nothing yeah but that's not important

what is the deal with this new offer why

are you talking to real estate

developers I didn't go looking for

another offer they approached me

and if we have to sell anyway it turns

out the farm is worth 10 times more as

housing lots why would we turn that down

I thought the whole point was to leave

the farm operating as a farm what's the

difference farm houses we don't own it

anymore

thank you sister without something to

say about that

[Music]

hello Emily it's Charlie

Charlie thank goodness we are desperate

here did Dorothy tell you I called uh

yeah she did what's up I need more pies

yeah so I need your recipe

oh uh shoot Emily I'm sorry I can't give

that

it's just this is really important

Blanchard pies

they're in every group

every grocery they're in Canada as well

what the heck is he doing working with

my sister

it's a good point

so we could just buy the pies at the

store

yeah but he's coming up this weekend

[Applause]

[Music]

hi

hey

I did some research on you

so you see my dilemma yes

and I have a lot of questions

we'll have plenty of time for that we've

got a lot of baking to do

that's a lot of stuff

a lot of pies

can't tell anybody about these pods and

where they came from right

it's a recipe you found on the internet

maybe you got the recipe from your great

grandma she brought it across from the

old country Charlie

I get it

hey you need to cut those a little

thinner please

okay slow down a minute your family owns

the largest independent Pie Company in

North America

yeah owned sold it about five years ago

but your dad still runs it yeah

yeah and why in the whole wide world are

you working with my sister

you know I was never really that

enamored by Food business I

I love real estate I

something intoxicating about you know

bringing people together in a in a

win-win and closing a deal

a win-win like us and dairy world

they're not all

win-wins

do you even still need to work

of course I do

I mean

sure a beneficiary of the family

business but I don't see a penny of that

now that's my dad and my brother's thing

okay next question

[Music]

why'd you come up

here

[Music]

put it in your ice cream

exactly

you know I you needed my help and it was

the generous thing to do in the spirit

of Christmas

isn't you helping me a conflict of

interest

so

[Music]

you know you have a little

[Music]

you got it

[Music]

was nice of Charlie to do all that

baking for us no it wasn't Charlie it

was my great grandmother from the old

country remember oh right

well is Great Grandma coming to the barn

dance

how are we doing with the crowdfunding

well it depends on your perspective

compared to other campaigns our size

we're doing great

compared to our goal they've got some

work to do lever is ninety thousand

dollars plus with our increased Revenue

recently

we're doing really well it's just that

we're running out of time

exactly

[Music]

merry Christmas everybody we are so

excited to be here with you folks

dance they made up to Jingle Bells I

wouldn't miss it for the world

have something to tell you

I'm gonna vote for Christmas A La Mode

in the flavor contrast

whoever came up with that uh well he's

actually supposed to be here tonight I

will make sure to introduce you

Trey can I continue to have this dance

of course

foreign

I'm hearing all sorts of good things

about your ice cream contest we've been

very busy that's great because

not to be a scrooge but the payments are

due on your extension soon I know

Ebenezer thank you okay okay so enough

business I love the video on your

crowdfunding site oh thank you I made a

donation and I thought of a fun flavor

creme brulee mocha oh that sounds

delicious a candied crunchy top and a

soft creamy filling yes in a coffee base

it could be a winner

[Music]

how are you good

everything okay yeah

everything looks amazing

uh who's Emily dancing with oh

he's been around forever he was

Dorothy's old boyfriend they broke up

After High School uh what are you doing

here Trey you never make it to the barn

dance no reason I just thought I'd get

out for the evening

so is your sister coming Dorothy doesn't

like to milk cows in a barn let alone

dance in one I thought I heard she was

in town she had to go back to the city

but I can give her your phone number oh

no no but that's okay I just thought

it'd be nice to see her and she'd like

to see you too

Charlie thank you

for giving her hope this Christmas she

needed that

all right

[Music]

[Applause]

do you want to dance I would love to

[Music]

you

this is the most Christmas spirit I felt

in a long time

[Music]

bar looks beautiful

[Music]

maybe my luck's starting to turn around

I feel like you've got plenty of luck

barely holding on to the dream that my

father left

[Music]

to explain your dream

no it

of course it is I just

[Music]

I really want to save the farm

My Father Brown

he sounds like an amazing guy

wish I'd had the chance to meet him

[Music]

thank you

you wanna know why I really came back

it wasn't to help me make a bunch of

Pies no no that was that was it but

I was really excited that I got to see

you again

really

Farm

your ice cream the passion you have for

running this place

I couldn't stop thinking about you

I'm really glad you came

me too

what did he do with that

listen I am

I should tell you something

what

it's about the farm and your your sister

hey

song

Gloria that I would watch her kids

do a dance yeah yeah go back you gotta

get back to the city it's a four-hour

drive I gotta work in the morning so

when do I see you again

well

um one way or the other I have to be

back up here on Christmas Eve

I know

I remember business is business family

and family

right

and don't give up on your dad's dream

it's too important

bye Charlie

[Music]

how did I let myself fall for him thank

you

I'm a human

what did I think that was some

knight in shining armor who's gonna come

in and

save the day he's here to sell the farm

it's as simple as that but I think he

has real feelings for you

he's just concerned about closing the

deal he wants a win-win

think about this for a minute

what is this win-win scenario

from our perspective Dorothy gets her

money and we get to keep the farm but I

don't think they care about us keeping

the farm

I think there's a third win here

I think Dorothy gets your money

we get the farm

you two get each other

if he's working to make that

what's his next play

he's not

he's being that clear

I wouldn't be so sure about that

yeah

I'm sorry we're closed that's why Edgar

Samuels we uh we talked a week or so ago

you have a minute

yeah sure

just so you know I haven't changed my

mind

really

you haven't changed your mind about

selling the farm

well

I saw you dancing Cheek to Cheek with Mr

Blanchard last night

I uh

I just assume that you're in on the deal

what deal

the deal with my competitor Richardson

development

I don't know what you're talking about

your sister's company is about ready to

close a deal with Richardson

I wanted to see if he might entertain a

counteroffer

they're not planning on selling to Dairy

world

who

the Consolidated Dairy Farmers oh yeah

I think the number they're discussing

with Richardson is going to be quite a

bit higher than what they're going to

get from a group of Dairy Farmers

[Music]

what is Richardson planning on building

a Housing Development

we're talking about 50

luck kidding me no

this could be a very merry Christmas for

you and your family Miss wife

this has been a very enlightening

conversation

I'll let you know if anything changes

please do

[Music]

oh

my God

what am I gonna do

[Music]

we're not even close

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

White

[Music]

a few weeks ago I told you about our

crowdfunding campaign to raise money so

that we could expand

and bring our delicious ice cream to a

larger audience all across New England

and yes

I would love to expand

but

first I need to save our family farm

[Music]

I was told

that we were going to sell to a Dairy

Consortium so that our land would at

least still operate as a farm

that was a lie

we're going to lose our farm to a real

estate developer that wants to turn our

land into 50 house slots if I can't come

up with the rest of our goal by the end

of day Christmas Eve

it's 36 hours from now less if you're

watching tomorrow

[Music]

my father

graced us with this land

Farm it the way that it was meant to be

farmed

this document

says that I have the right to buy out my

sister for her half of the assessed

value of this land

we can do this

we need your help

please

please help me save our family farm

did you tell her

no

but I should have I have no idea how she

found out about the deal with Richardson

I gotta tell you I'm feeling really

guilty about leaving her out of the loop

right now

I like seeing her get hurt like this

what happened to family is family but

business is business

the other way around Dorothy

it doesn't matter there's no way she'll

raise the money in one day nothing we

did or didn't say to her can change that

we can do this

but we need your help

please

please help me save our family farm

I couldn't watch

what do you think

I think whatever happens

your father would be so proud of you

you've done everything you possibly

could

now you've put your heart out on your

sleeve for the whole world to see

look

[Music]

oh it's working

[Music]

I'm here today at White's Farm where

Emily white is about to announce the

winner of their Christmas ice cream

flavor contest so Emily who's the big

winner well there were a lot of really

wonderful flavors but the overwhelming

winner was Christmas all a mode

submitted by Charlie Blanchard of New

York New York congratulations Charlie

Blanchard that must have been a big

surprise

not really that flavor was incredibly

popular so much so it's hard to keep up

with the demand

Emily has gotten a lot of attention

recently with her crowdfunding site and

needs to raise

226 thousand dollars by close of

business tomorrow where this pastoral

Farm will become a Housing Development

if they make their goal that would be

one heck of a Christmas present

how you possibly can
