Christmas going to be bright withing and we'll get this holid right Christmas is coming [Music] fast Christmas is coming [Applause] [Music] fast something's wrong in this house the mouse said I can hear it there's no noises at all there's no Christmas spirit there's nobody laughing there's nobody singing no carolers carolling no jingle bells ringing the family inside are all quiet and strange the mouse wondered what could have caused such a change I know what to do I'll bring them together I'll make up a plan I'll be very clever I'll think really hard tonight outside while it's snowing I'll get them all going without even knowing they'll make cookies and cards and raise a big tree rep presents and candy canes tall is your knee and as they all sit before their Christmas dinner each person among them will think they are the winner and that is how the mouse started his Adventure let last year yes Sarah Edwin all right now if you enjoyed last year's book the mouse who missed his Christmas list you're going to enjoy Sarah's new holiday book even more it's called the mouse in the house for Christmas and you can get it starting tomorrow at this bookstore hi don't forget Sarah's new book every child will want one don't you think you're overselling it just a little bit nonsense kid today had the attention span of a house FY you say so I do now you really have your finger on the pulse of Christmas do you write from experience if you like the books i' don't ask oh thank you hello hi honey hey Dad what's up Sarah it's your grandmother she was leaving her condo walking down the stairs with some friends when she became lightheaded she fell and sprained her ankle pretty good they're taking her to the hospital right now and well I figured maybe you could break away come home a few days early dad my new book is coming out I I have appearances to make the EMTs think they're might might be some kind of heart condition as it is your grandmother can't go back to the condo so she'll be staying with us at the house Dad you know Mom and I are just going to argue and ruin things for everybody please just do this for me and your grandmother she really needs you yeah [Music] in the road again it's Christmas [Music] time take your time Bud all right lift up and swing you around there you go watch mother's head Tim just leave him alone Michelle he's fine comfortable thank you yeah all right Mr Mrs Edwin yeah here's the deal Evelyn will need to stay on bed rest for several days at least she can use her walker to go back and forth to the bathroom but that's going to be about it very possible she could be suffering from orthostatic hypotension that causes a dangerous drop in the blood pressure when someone arises too quickly the blood flow gets restricted to the brain so let's play this safe okay thank you hey kiddo hey Dad thanks for coming of course Sarah better late than never I guess you're welcome oh Sarah you made it morning Graham how you feeling better now that you're here ah well that's good hey you about ready to roll I've been ready let's get Sarah when you're finished we need to get Mother home must be very tired by now I'm done Mom thanks I'm sorry nothing changes I'll see you at home Tim I'm coming are you all right mother I'm fine let's hit the gas oh I can't tell you what it means to have you here for Christmas A it means a lot to me too Gran and thank you for the lovely books don't that was nothing besides I thought there might be a few you didn't have oh I had so many plans for the holidays and now all ruined Gran I'm sorry were they big plans well not so big but uh I I did put them all down on the list wow look how organized you are a perfect Christmas list huh I probably wasn't going to do all of them but I did want to make my special Christmas cookies maybe you and your mom can bake them no I I don't think so Gran oh why not oh come on why you make an old lady happy I may not be around here forever you know sh Gran I don't want to hear you talk like that besides I just rubb Mom the wrong way she's so perfect and I'm so not and she must remind me of that every five minutes Sarah your mother is not perfect she's just pretending that's her way I know Gran I get it but trying to get the two of us together to do something is like pouring gasoline on a fire no you you keep it there maybe you'll change your mind don't get your hopes up what a terrible thing to have happen right at the holidays yeah well maybe it'll convince eie to sell that condo move into someplace a little more suited for her she might have to she shouldn't be left alone remember that kitchen fire she started at Halloween she can't even remember to turn the stove top off yeah well she's forgetful but independent very independent controlling dear she's controlling don't worry guys I got it hello uh hello can I help help you yes sorry uh I'm Dr Reed I'm here to see Evelyn come on in thank you over here Mom we have a visitor Sarah who is it Gram's doctor seriously a doctor making house calls there's still a few of us left Dr Reed Kim nice to meet you well uh her room is Right This Way great thank you Mom you have a visitor it's your doctor hello Eevee well I I'll leave you too okay thank you good so I heard you took quite a spill what happened I don't even know one minute I'm up and the next I'm down man you got to be careful well the hospital sent your chart over to me and it looks like there might be something going on with your blood pressure so we're going to have to take it easy until we figure out what's going on do you mind if we check it now can I stop you not a chance you're such a bully yeah just because I care how's the ankle does it hurt no it doesn't and I I don't have orthostatic hypotension we hope so do we think maybe that big move is in order ah yes I've been thinking about it now for a while this settles it I got to get out of that condo no more stairs for me that's what I've been trying to tell you I know but I just needed to reason well it looks like we finally got one so have you told your family yet no not yet I I've been toting that off I understand but you're going to have to tell them sooner or later you're going to want them close by when it's time to go do you want me to talk to them oh no no no no I'll tell them I mean they're going to all have to work very closely together to clean up my condo when this time comes well it won't be for at least a week or so we know that much for sure what is it Michelle mom is dying what mom is dying says who her doctor I heard them talking about her illness it's fatal Annie they usually can treat these kind of things all she needs is some rest and and maybe no sudden movement she'll be fine I heard what I heard when I heard it well your doctor did make a house call why would he do that you don't think yes oh [Music] no all right well I have to run some errands your blood pressure is in the normal range which is very good news you just have to make sure you keep resting and keep that foot up you just like bossing people around don't you doctor's orders bye a you guys all right yeah yeah we're fine allergies that's all [Music] allergies [Music] right well I've got a run it was nice meeting you folks doctor isn't there anything you want to tell us um nothing you don't already know I'm just glad that she's surrounded by her family during this difficult time isn't there anything we can do just try to keep her spirits up um make sure that the next week's a happy one I will I will I promise that's good bye poor mother she is so brave keeping that secret inside and everything we must respect her wishes of course we she can't know that we know I won't let on I don't tell Sarah Sarah are you sure well of course I'm sure Tim I'm the daughter it's only right that I know she's the granddaughter oh just trust [Music] me Mom are you awake yeah yes dear yes well we were just wondering if there's anything we could do for you you know anything at all no I'm I'm I'm fine why we just want you to be comfortable is is the bed soft enough hard enough thank you Tim thank you are you sure we can't get you something to eat or drink some ice tea really please anything we can do for you anything at all anything well I was just thinking about the great Christmases we had in mon when you were young yes I remember snow a foot deep oh perfect for sedding perfect oh I would give anything if you and Sarah could experience a perfect Christmas like that you know truth be told we may not all be together again like this next year mom don't say that well you never know what's around the corner Michelle so I put together a wish list of Christmas activities for you and Sarah to to do together a wish list yeah wouldn't that be fun that that does sound like fun okay if that would make you happy oh so happy so happy dear Sarah has the list okay doesn't that sound great Tim that's nice what's the first activity baking the perfect Christmas cookies baking baking [Music] knock knock who's there do you have a minute do you have a minute who haha very funny oh you're drawing something for one of your little book Things yes Mom one of my little book things is there something I can do for you yes yes there is I was just chatting with Mom and she had this great idea and she told you about the perfect Christmas list she did you can't be serious I am she's very ill you know this could be our last Christmas together it really could so do you want to do the list with me are you asking me yes I'm asking please okay yeah sure good so the first Challenge on Grandma's list is to make Christmas cookies but don't worry I've got us covered [Music] this ought to do the trick what is that it's a cookie gun you just shoot the dough out of that nozzle doodle thing and it makes perfect cookies every time mom that is horrible why do you have any idea how many preservatives are in this stuff if you shot it in the grand lost another 80 years Sarah don't be silly it's Christmas cookie guns are flying off the shelves well these cookies have to be homemade so I'm going to the store and getting the proper ingredients all right all right he's only trying to make things easy for you Mom if we're going to do gr's perfect Christmas list we might as well do it right Michelle why do you have to argue with her I thought you were going to behave yourself while she was here here I was I was going to but she arrived a few days early I wasn't [Music] [Music] ready salted I don't think so soy butter something but not today bacon butter GH do you mind uh actually could use that oh hey it's you hey it's you you actually want that um yes it uh Works in one of my recipes do you know how much sugar is in that lemonade probably too much I mean there's like no juice at all I hear you but um it goes a long way I'm I'm sorry I should just find my own business I mean you are the doctor right yes I am but you're right about the lemonade so you're after some butter yes we're baking cookies from scratch okay well then I think you will probably want something special like this it's uh it's from a local Farm all natural ingredients I do a little work for them sometimes I thought you only treated people uh I do um but I am also a [Music] handyman Brandon huh odd jobs done evenly you weren't kidding I've always wanted to just fit in wherever I could so I look in on the elderly lower income families pretty much anyone who needs a little help they pay me what they can when they can if they can that's very generous of you it's nothing a lot of people helped me out when I needed it so just trying to um pay it back a little fair enough of course well thank you for the dip on the butter organic guess you do know the good stuff when you see it I'd like to think so [Music] so you are E's granddaughter the riter right that's right we all feel pretty bad she's stuck a bed hence the homemade cookies that should do it never known cookies to fail all right cane sugar baking flour raisins okay what am I missing oh beats me when it comes to baking I'm a total shortcut kind of guy ooh but I can't always use some of these so what's up with all the hot dogs oh cooking for a lot of people I can see that but hot dogs I mean there's nothing okay you could at least spring for the allnatural all beef kind you are right it will kill my budget but I will put these back just for you don't be feeding those hot dogs to my grandma now in your grandmother's situation I would say any meal that suits her is just fine by her doctor but um no these are are not for my patients oh I think I get it you're also some kind of little league coach right yeah sort of mhm well I should get going can't keep the chef waiting your boyfriend's a chef no no no it's uh it's my mother well merry Christmas and um good luck with your cookies Merry Christmas to you too and your [Music] kids looking good of course the calculator never lies I didn't realize how essential algebra was to oatmeal cookies imagine what you could have baked if you gone to Harvard I can't find the measuring spoons what do you need half a teaspoon of salt oh no problem my grandmother never used measuring spoons she would just pour stuff into the small of her hand and it came out perfect every time Mom that's ridiculous found him told you I don't believe [Music] it [Music] all finished Oh e dinner was perfect I'm glad you liked it I brought you a treat Michelle the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the house all afternoon oh I I'm sorry no don't be I thought I died and went to heaven mom please don't say things like that well it's just what the doctor ordered did you have any fun sure I did it reminded me of some things I'd forgotten so yeah it was great and now we have something tasty to remember the day hey Pops you want to try one hey thank you well very good glad you like them well I learned a few things today yeah me too thanks for coming home I didn't want to you begged me remember well you're a big girl now Sarah well you got a lot of important decisions to make in your life but I think you made the right one this time I did it for you and grm sometimes I wonder about what I was in the market earlier today I saw gr's doctor oh he seemed so sharp at first but his entire cart was full of junk food I mean fake lemonade fruit punch more packs of cheap hot dogs than I could count and a giant block of bacon flavored butter what do you do with that that's what I thought there's nothing with any nutritional value whatsoever in his entire cart and did you feel compelled to tell him all about that well of course do you do that a lot when you go to the market sometimes mhm mhm okay what's that supposed to mean ah don't judge a man until you've walked to Mile in His bacon flavored shoes I'm just putting it out there I need a drink [Music] wish you ever since I came home my mom's been acting weird not exactly nice or anything just weird and you think she's up to something or I don't know as rude as she is she's actually been on her best behavior maybe she finally realized she's wrong please you don't walk away from a literary scholarship at Harvard to write and draw children's books might as well have just stabbed her right in the eye why does she care as long as you're happy happy and successful why indeed I don't know I guess it's just cuz it wasn't her plan it's not what she had planned for me some parents want you to be everything that they never were and you're an only child aren't you that's right her one shot at glory and I let her down not this kid lived up to all my parents expectations well Ashley do you want me to buy you a drink kind of yeah oh but I think what sets her off the most is the fact as soon as I left home she lost all control of me she just can't stand it well take this week to get to know your grandma he'll be a better person for it and if not that you could work on your next book the mouse that bombed its mom okay girl you better watch out cuz I'm going to steal that from you take it it's my Christmas gift to you would you like a cinnamon roll I thought I smelled something I only hated them up I'll take two don't get spoiled too late there you go I know Dad you going to eat both of those

have to do that it only looks straight to Someone Like You It's not perfectly straight and it never will be there's your problem Sarah you never see what's wrong with the world and you can never see what's right with it well you are going to love the next activity on Gran's perfect Christmas list what is it number two Gran thinks it's high time we have a real Christmas tree A Perfect Christmas

tree farms within 150 miles of here I guess there's just no market for it anymore just have to tell her it can't be done no I mean I don't want to disappoint my mother this list business means so much to her we're just going to have to think outside the box where there's a way there's a will or something like that Mom it's not the end of the world mom [Music] there really [Music] you're not suggesting that we I am honey that tree is 20 ft tall we only need 8 ft of it that's crazy my mother wants a cut treat and that is what she is going to get come visit me in prison hi Dr Reed Brandon

that you got the tree yes and it's a beauty I can't wait for you to see it but before that we have make the perfect Christmas card do you want to go on dear you really don't have to so far so fun besides this doesn't look too difficult but you have to use an old photograph from a past Christmas on each card Gran do you remember the name of the Christmas book I wrote last year I know I I forgot but I loved it uhhuh it was called the mouse who missed his Christmas list oh that's right yeah it's about a mouse who moves into a house where everyone is divided but he brings the family together again by convincing them to perform a special list of holiday activities Oh that is such a lovely story you'll find all the old photographs out in the Box in the [Music] garage [Music] [Music] I really don't like sacrificing my old photographs to make Christmas cards mom what's the problem well you have to cut them up it's going to destroy them mom they were just rotting away in the Box in a garage Sarah they weren't rotting away they were being preserved all right we won't cut them we'll just tape them lightly to the outside of the card okay hey look who it is hey Gran Mom are you sure you're well enough to be doing this I'm just going to sit here and watch what good is a perfect Christmas if you can't even experience a little bit of it firsthand Mom all right we're happy that you're here oh look at the tree so beautiful I'm glad you like it I'm sorry that I tried to suffocate you yesterday it's okay you just scared me a little bit there he take a look at that I wanted that bike so badly I think I took it to bed one or two times oh look at that hair I look like a squirrel I I never approved to that bike I thought it was far too dangerous for such a young girl but your father had to Prevail don't let her fool you she allowed me to Prevail well it was a pretty bite well someone is getting this on their card mm whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa that's a picture of your mother in high school yeah they used to call her shell she was so serious even then you know she wore col that was so stiff and sharp that would cut her neck like a razor I still have the scars oh stop it you two give me that give me that right now oh oh look at this m look at this handsome fella what is that one of those hippies or Gypsy or something excuse me what's the matter with her the man in the snapshot is your mother's father your grandfather wait what wa so the the portrait in the living room the soldier in the uniform it's the same man Sarah all cleaned up that was after he was drafted into the army but here is the real man that I married oh he was so sweet he just didn't know how to keep his head down with all those bullets flying around you remind your mother of him more than you'll ever know how I mean how what he love to draw and make up silly stories just like you do really oh he never took anything very seriously some people think that's what got him killed it's your Christmas room yes it's time to put it on it's really pretty it's the last thing my father gave me I remember how excited I was when I opened it on Christmas [Music] morning it looks new yes well I only put it on once a year dad always said it would bring the wearer much happiness did it no it's very pretty isn't it really is Sarah the man in that snapshot that was your grandfather that was the man my Mom married I should never have put him in a [Music] box no I shouldn't [Music] [Music] [Music] for going skating what you look like you're getting ready to hit the rink oh no I I don't

I'd do it again in a heartbeat you would absolutely why what do you mean why why are you acting so different all of the sudden Sarah no Grant I have to ask well I guess I just realized how suddenly things can change I think we should make the most of the time we have together while we have it okay Sarah your mother is working so hard to make this a perfect Christmas aren't you having a good time well of course that's what worries me oh Sarah all right mother what's next on your list this should be interesting next up we have drum roll ice skating ice skating ice skating nothing says

to say you can skate that was a long time ago remember I put that all behind me you didn't have to you had Talent you could have been great yeah and I could have also baked cookies at Harvard If Only

go [Music] home look at her oh my God I will give her an a for effort though and know when her father died she felt that she had to grow up like overnight no more funing games she just became so

convinced that you're trying to kill me Mom don't say that I have never eaten so much oh oh okay well that was wasn't funny well it was very nice to you I ate every bit good okay uh gran gran what is this about Sarah I always regretted your crazy childhood fear of Santa Claus it it's always made Christmas such a interesting time look screaming and the crying and the fainting and the shaking that was a long time ago and the hair pulling and the biting the accident enough already okay so I think that after all these years I am entitled to a nice glossy photograph of the two of you sitting on Santa's lab mom no you remember what happened last time no I can totally do this I am an adult you know and besides I've got much better control over those things now well I hope so well good that's all s [Music] okay don't you think people will find it strange that two grown women want to have their picture taken on Santa's lap I mean it's a little outside their normal business Sarah having your picture taken on Santa's lap is their normal business besides it's the day before Christmas I'm sure they'll be fine with it as long as the check clears oh Michelle just the person I wanted to see I know friend I've been out of touch lately with the holidays and all I'm sorry Sarah Edwin my kids love your books why didn't you tell anybody she was coming home well I would you mind signing this to
