"Dear Christmas" episode,</i>

6
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,276
we explored all the trappings
of the Christmas season--

7
00:00:15,363 --> 00:00:16,886
cutting down the tree,

8
00:00:16,973 --> 00:00:19,106
drinking hot cocoa,
putting up the lights,

9
00:00:19,193 --> 00:00:22,152
<i>decorating the house,
the ugly sweater party.</i>

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,329
<i>It's the perfect backdrop
to fall in love.</i>

11
00:00:25,416 --> 00:00:27,723
<i>But is it love?
Or is the season?</i>

12

<i>Are you really falling
in love,</i>

13
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:31,248
<i>or are you just in love
with Christmas?</i>

14
00:00:31,335 --> 00:00:33,685
Maybe when the snow melts,
you'll fall out of love,

15
00:00:33,772 --> 00:00:36,993
and it's over,
like a seasonal allergy.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,995
Holiday love is very
complicated at Christmas.

17
00:00:39,082 --> 00:00:41,563
You can't just crack it
that easily.

18
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:45,697
That's why we're gonna continue
this episode next week, live.

19
00:00:45,784 --> 00:00:48,091
I'll be talking about
the magical, elusive gift

20
00:00:48,178 --> 00:00:51,007
that is very hard to wrap:
true love.

21
00:00:51,094 --> 00:00:52,400

the ugliest sweater.

for Christmas.

71

My parents go all out
with the decorations,

72
00:03:00,092 --> 00:03:01,833

73
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:03,661
that you can probably see it
from space.

74
00:03:03,748 --> 00:03:05,794
- Well, I will look for it
when I go out to space.

75

A special someone?

77

It's from one of our sponsors.

78
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:16,631
And it's for my brother-in-law.

79
00:03:16,718 --> 00:03:19,068
- Oh, I thought maybe you had
someone tucked away

80
00:03:19,155 --> 00:03:21,244
in Lake Tahoe.
A hometown honey?

81
00:03:21,331 --> 00:03:24,073
- Uh, that's a big, fat no.
- Really?

82
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,901
I've never seen you date
anyone around here,

83
00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:28,208
so I guess I figured
you had someone there.

You've been in love before,
right?

85

in true love?

88

You know, but maybe
he just wasn't your true love.

101
00:04:08,465 --> 00:04:10,946

between love and true love?

102

Aren't they all the same?

103

find each other.

come together as one,

109

is to be together,

a better uncle to them.

719

- So Billy calls me up

864
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,114
and tells me that I forgot
to sign some paperwork,

865
00:38:11,201 --> 00:38:12,768
and instead of
going into his office,

866
00:38:12,855 --> 00:38:14,814
he says to meet him
at my favorite cafe.

867
00:38:14,901 --> 00:38:17,382
- Oh, that was thoughtful.
- Right?

868
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:19,558
So I get some old receipts,
and I put them in a shoebox,

869
00:38:19,645 --> 00:38:21,168
and Billy says
that he can deduct them too.

870
00:38:21,255 --> 00:38:22,952
So he adds them to my returns,

871
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:25,564
and we end up
having this amazing lunch.

872
00:38:25,651 --> 00:38:28,828
Now, remember when I told you
Billy asked me if I was single?

873
00:38:28,915 --> 00:38:31,352
- How could I forget?
- Get this.

874
00:38:31,439 --> 00:38:34,050
He was already thinking about
us filing jointly next year,

875
00:38:34,137 --> 00:38:36,749
even with the marriage penalty.

876
00:38:36,836 --> 00:38:39,273
He was ready to do that for me.

877
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,449
You can use that if you want.

ready for the party tomorrow.

is missing?

883

to North Pole and got it.

is happening too fast.

1575

- Well, when did you meet?
- A week ago.

1576

- That does sound
a little too fast to me.

she's just scared.

should do her thinking for her.

1581

Maybe you both
just need some space.

she'll be 2,000 miles away.

1584

her to stay here...
