Eric: Mmm.

["Jingle Bells" plays ]

Eric: [Singing] Same place, same season, every year, I carry on, same joys, same reasons, not the same, since you've been gone, the Christmas trees, the lights, but never quite as bright, I miss you here this night, one reason makes it right, it's you, it's true, Merry Christmas to you

Brooke: Thanks again for inviting R.J. He was so excited. If there's anything I can do to return the favor, please let me know. Oh, I will. Thanks.

Woman singing:  Lights aglow a cozy fire

[Cell phone chimes ]

Woman singing:  A morning snow a midnight choir but nothing's right till you're in sight you're all I need for Christmas

[Cell phone rings ]

Brooke: Hope, hi! Have you landed? Uh, what e-mail? Oh, no, no, I don't check that account very often. It's okay. You don't have to see either one of them. You could stay in if you'd like.

Woman singing:  The gifts beneath

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Woman singing:  The Christmas tree

Brooke: I understand.

Woman singing:  But when you're near

Brooke: Yes, okay. [Sighs ] I love you, too.

Woman singing:  It's crystal clear

Brooke: Merry Christmas.

Woman singing:  You're all I need for Christmas your tender kiss is the reason for mistletoe is hard to resist

[Indistinct conversations ]

Eric: Hey, the nanny okay?

Katie: Everything's great. Yep, they're watching a movie. They're sipping hot cocoa. It's great.

Bill: So give me the scoop. What did Maya do?

Eric: Maya? What do you mean?

Bill: Well, I see Stephanie’s portrait is back in its rightful place, so something must have gone down. You took that clown picture of Maya off the wall, and she and Rick are nowhere to be seen.

Eric: No big scandal. Rick and Maya took the Avants to Hawaii for the holidays, and I decided to spend the holiday with Stephanie. Maya's picture will go back up before they come home.

Bill: Don't do it.

Eric: [Laughs ]

Katie: Well, that's nice. I'm sure Brooke will like that.

Bill: Where is Brooke?

Woman singing:  My list the world is full

[Cell phone chimes ]

Woman singing:  Of yuletide cheer, and it's all mine when you appear it's plain to see

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Woman singing:  You'll always be all I need for Christmas

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Woman singing:   It's plain to see you'll always be

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Woman singing:  All I need for Christmas, Christmas

Brooke: Great.

Woman singing:  Christmas

Brooke: Eric. What are you doing here?

Eric: I came to bring you this. I think you could wear it tonight.

Brooke: Thank you. About tonight. I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it.

Eric: Yes, you can. I'm not gonna let you spend Christmas Eve alone. You're coming home with me.

Bill: Where's Ivy? Upstairs primping?

Wyatt: Uh, actually, she should be landing right about now.

Katie: Landing? Where is she going?

Wyatt: Cancun.

Liam: Mm.

Wyatt: Her father's zip lining in a Santa suit and asked her to join him.

Bill: What is the deal? Hawaii, Cancun. Why can't people just stay home for Christmas?

Katie: Aww.

Brooke: [Sighs ] I don't know. I just [Sighs] I really wanted to be here with the kids on Christmas Eve and have all four of them in the room together. It's been a while, you know? So this is how it's gonna be from now on? On all the holidays? I'm here in this house alone, this house that used to be so full of love and laughter and children and family. It's just all gone by so fast.

Eric: I know. I also know I'm not gonna let you stay here alone tonight. You're my family. Come home with me.

Brooke: Oh, Eric. [Cries ]

Eric: Come on.

Wyatt: "Jingle bells".

Liam: Uh, "jingle bell rock".

Wyatt: Okay, uh, "silent night".

Liam: Um, uh, uh, "midnight clear".

Wyatt: That's -- that's not the title of the --

Liam: Yes, it is! "It came upon a midnight clear".

Wyatt: That's the verse of the song, that's not the title of the song.

Liam: Oh, it has to be the title? Okay, fine. "Drummer boy", "drummer boy".

Wyatt: Okay, fine, uh --

Thomas: Are they really competing over who can name the most Christmas songs?

Wyatt: All right.

Liam: Here's a hint. Huh?

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Christmas tree, right?

Wyatt: "O Christmas tree"!

Katie: Uh, is Eric still not here?

Bill: Not yet.

Katie: [Sighs ] Maybe I should have gone instead.

Liam: Hold on. What, are you worried?

Katie: Well, it's been a tough year for Brooke and I know having her children here in town for the holidays meant a lot to her, and now they're not coming. I just -- I feel for her. Oh!

Eric: Aha!

Wyatt: Oh, hey!

Liam: Hey.

Brooke: [Gasps ]

Eric: Come on.

Thomas: Welcome, welcome.

Brooke: Hi. Oh!

Steffy: Merry Christmas.

Brooke: Merry Christmas.

Liam: Merry Christmas, Brooke. Good to see you.

Brooke: Thank you.

Wyatt: Merry Christmas.

Brooke: Merry Christmas.

Bill: Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Bill: Merry Christmas.

Brooke: Thank you. Mm.

Katie: I'm so glad you're here.

Brooke: Me too.

Katie: I'm sorry about how everything worked out.

Brooke: I was, too, but I'm not now. Seeing all of you. This is amazing. And Eric. The man who stayed loyal to me. You are my best friend. Thank you. Thank you for bringing me here and opening your house to all of us. This is the way we should celebrate Christmas, right? This is amazing -- the family all together like this. It's a necessity. [Chuckles ] It just fills me up.

[Laughter ]

Liam: "Midnight clear" is totally a song.

Wyatt: No, it is not.

Liam: Yes, it is.

Bill: Okay, look. This is why fathers sometimes eat their young in the wild.

Eric: That's the way this is. Well, we're here. We're here.

[Indistinct conversations ]

Brooke: [Gasps ] [Laughs ]

[Flashback]

Stephanie: Merry Christmas.

[Present time]

Eric: [Chuckles ]

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Steffy: Ooh!

Wyatt: Whoa. Ooh! Whoa. Brave woman.

Steffy: What?

Wyatt: You coming at me, guns blazing with this mistletoe here. Liam is right there.

Steffy: Oh, calm down. Just hold it. Hold it.

Wyatt: Why?

Steffy: Give me your phone. Come on.

Wyatt: Why?

Steffy: Okay. Put it over top of your head. Pout your lips.

Wyatt: What?

Steffy: Pout your lips! Make it sexy! So -- yeah, sexy. There it is, there it is.[Laughs ]

Wyatt: Hmm?

Steffy: Okay.

Wyatt: What?

Steffy: Send it to ivy.

Wyatt: What?

Steffy: She'll know that you're thinking of her.

Wyatt: [Chuckles ]

Steffy: Just do it. She'll love it. Trust me.

Katie: Can you all, uh, gather around for a moment, please? I -- I just want to say a few things about my sister. Um... when I heard that you were going to be alone tonight and that you might not come over here, it made me so sad because...I just can't imagine Christmas without you. I mean, let's be honest. You've been with me since my first. [Laughs ] We've been through a lot -- as sisters and as women. But I'm grateful for everything we've overcome. Because for better or for worse, I am the person that -- the woman I am today because of you. And I know that it's disappointing that your children couldn't be here tonight, but -- but they are 'cause they're in here. I'm so glad you decided to come.

Eric: To Brooke.

All: To Brooke.

Brooke: Uh [Laughs] Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, all of you. I-I just feel so loved and to -- to think that I almost stayed home tonight.

[Laughter ]

Eric: Nobody here would have allowed that. Not on Christmas Eve. Not when people all over the world celebrate the birth of that baby in that manger. And celebrate the words that those shepherds heard from on high, "glory to God on the highest, peace and goodwill to men."

Steffy: Granddad's right. None of us would have let you stay home tonight. We would have packed up the party. We would have moved to your house if we had to.

[Laughter ]

Katie: Because Christmas is more than just one day on the calendar.

Eric: It's a spirit that we should all carry with us every day of the year and impart to every person we meet. And that we should do our best to make this world a better place, to actually be the peace and goodwill that those shepherds heard about that night. Now, I want everybody to eat all these cookies and get this stuff out of here. I don't want any of this here in the morning. I don't want it. You come down here with me. Come here. Now, let me see, uh, here we are. Now. I think you can have this now.

Brooke: [Laughs ] Now?

Eric: Yeah, now.

Brooke: Okay. Oh, Eric. So sweet.

Eric: Open it. Go on.

Brooke: [Sighs ]

Eric: It's like Katie said. Your kids will always be with you. Right there in your heart.

Brooke: [Chuckles ] [Cries ] Oh. Give me a hug. [Laughs ] You're so sweet.    [Sighs ] Stephanie, may I?

Eric: I think we're all right.

Brooke: [Laughs ]

Eric: We're gonna be okay.

Brooke: Okay. [Giggles ]

Eric: Merry Christmas.

Brooke: Merry Christmas. [Giggles ]

Steffy: Granddad, you ready?

Thomas: Hey, it's time! It's time!

Eric: Come on.

Thomas: Bring it.

Liam: Here we go.

Eric: All right, everybody. I need you all here.
