00:00I do think this revised footprint works better. Eco-friendly and a kind gesture for the community.
00:07Remember, we're only able to start one priority build next year. I'd much prefer your magical hotel.
00:14So make sure you have it all finalized by Christmas Eve. On it.
00:17Are those properties? Why don't you go investigate in person?
00:21Gracie Moreau, I'm with the developer of the new hotel. I need to talk to the town historian.
00:25Well, I'm the town historian.
00:27Are you Jack?
00:28It was 1965. The Carvel family held a raffle to raise money for those in need.
00:33Each winner was deeded a one square foot plot of land on the Christmas tree farm.
00:37So I just have to get them to agree to sign over their land rights. Do you know who the winners were?
00:41Not a clue.
00:42I will go directly to Mrs. Carvel.
00:44One of the raffle winners was wearing shorts and sandals. I know it doesn't make sense, but that's what's in storage.
00:48She remembered random details that might be something, but I don't know the town well enough.
00:53Will you partner with me on this?
00:55I can't help you. I have a stack of grants that I have to write in order to keep the historical society funded.
00:59Astro Development will be a platinum level sponsor if you help me find those names. Deal?
01:04Deal.
01:05Deed holder number one. Shorts and sandals at the raffle.
01:09I think that your dad was one of the winners.
01:12I figured the founder of the Polar Plunge would be the only guy wearing shorts and sandals at Christmas time.
01:16I'd be happy to sign over the land rights to you.
01:19Number two. A heartthrob around the age of 17.
01:23Who was a guy that all the girls were wild about?
01:26I'm lucky to be dancing with the most eligible bachelor in town.
01:30I'm not the most eligible bachelor. He is.
01:35There's something special about this town's history.
01:38I've participated in so many things I never could have dreamt of.
01:41Almost makes time stand still, doesn't it?
01:44May I have this dance?
01:46Okay, I'll sign my land over.
01:48The deciding factor was how Jack looks at you.
01:52Are you going to tell her that you are deed holder number five?
01:55Your grandmother?
01:56I wanted you to see the community for yourself.
01:59You were just wasting my time.
02:03I felt like we could be something.
02:05You fell in love.
02:06Maybe he's right.
02:07How can we understand how a hotel like ours will affect a community like theirs if we're just onlookers?
02:13I've already thought of some changes.
02:16I want it to be the hotel that is right for this town.
02:20I'm so sorry. I didn't get it.
02:22I'm sorry. Of course I'll sign over the land deed.
02:25I just didn't want you to leave.
