QUOTE:I still think I should've gone out there, I always go... "And run yourself ragged and micromanage everything and end up exhausted and unable to enjoy the tree lighting ceremony." Yeah! That's my Christmas tradition.

QUOTE:"Why don't we find a new tradition this year?" Like what? "Like getting out of our comfort zone back on the market! I got us two tickets to a speed dating event. Do you have anything else to wear though? Because it looks like Mrs. Claus chose your outfit again.

QUOTE:You know, maybe this is a good thing. Yeah, that tree was beautiful, but it never felt right. It never felt like The Tree. Maybe this happened for a reason. "Are you actually finding the silver lining?" My Dad always said when things go wrong don't go with them. I know the perfect tree is out there and I'm gonna find it! Clear my schedule.

QUOTE:"But what about the speed dating? Maybe you can find your perfect man." The only thing that's harder than finding the perfect Christmas tree is finding the perfect man... but at least the perfect tree really does exist!

QUOTE:Oh, Rudy I forgot to tell you: so, your daycare mommy told me not only were you the best behaved dog today but you were also the best looking dog, but we kind of already knew that didn't we? Told you that bow looks good on you.

LETTER:Dear Miss Christmas,
I saw you on TV. You're the lady who chooses the Christmas tree. I'm writing to tell you that I found your next tree. Please come to Klaus, Wisconsin to pick it up. Sincerely, Joey McNary, age 8.

QUOTE:It's really beautiful. "Yeah, we're getting there." Nothing like a small town Christmas. "You're a little early. The festival is not for four days. We get a lot of you city folk." Whoa! Stop! Turn around. You calling me a city girl? "Well are you not?" Okay, I might live in a city right now, but I will have you know that I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. "So you're one of those holiday people!" Holiday people? Are you not one of those people? Because it looks to me like you're setting up for a Christmas festival. "Well we take turns here in our little small town of Klaus okay, this happens to be my year but if it were up to me, I'd skip December altogether." What? What? You would skip December? The most beautiful time of year? Filled with hope and magic, twinkling Christmas trees... "It's just a fancy landing pad for presents." Uh, you mean a symbol of seasonal rebirth! "Decked in mistletoe. Vile weed." An emblem of romance! "Haha okay. I guess I'm just immune to the holiday spirit." Well then I guess I'd better be on my way.

QUOTE:Try the milk! It's from our cows! "It's UDDER-ly delicious. Oh come on stop being so MOO-dy. "Well, I find it a-MOO-sing."

QUOTE:I'm too stressed to relax right now. Wish me luck. "I'm rooting for ya! Just... tree joke. Never mind"

QUOTE:In 1930 during the Great Depression the first Radcliffe Christmas tree was placed in the plaza for everyone who couldn't afford a tree. Decorated with gum wrappers, garlands, and tin cans. It became a centerpiece of the community. Neighbors gathered around it, caroled, and shared food. Since then, every year, the Radcliff center has had a tree, and although the trees get more elaborate and spectacular every year, we never forget what it started as... a symbol of community. A place for people to come together. A gathering spot for families, friends, and neighbors to be cheered, supported, and marvel not just in the beauty of the season, but in each other, which is what Leslie's tree could be to so many people.

QUOTE:Care to join? "You had me at coffee!"

QUOTE:"I thought that tree was 10 feet too short?" Well that's the best backup that I found. Do you have a better option? "No. I'm stumped. Pun intended."

QUOTE:Before cutting down trees was the tradition people used to put Evergreen boughs in their homes, and the boughs were a reminder that no matter how harsh the winter, spring would always return and that's what a Christmas tree is, a reminder of hope!

QUOTE:My Mother's family has a tradition of using an angel instead of a star on the top of the tree. It's a reminder of everyone we love looking out for us.

QUOTE:On the farm we always had a fresh Christmas tree, with roots. My Dad would always say, love is like a Christmas tree: it needs to have roots and wings.

QUOTE:What are you going to get your family for Christmas? "Gift certificates." You know what goes really well with a gift certificate? A personalized present! There's only 20 days until Christmas. You'd better start shopping. "Well then what would I do Christmas Eve?" Oh, there's your Christmas spirit!

QUOTE:When you grow up in Klaus, it's almost like Christmas is a year round thing. You know, we're either setting up for the festival or recovering from it you know, and my Mom, she was in the center of all of it. I mean growing up we did everything and she made it also so fun and then you come along with your ultra positive bordering on annoying Christmas attitude, and then you tell me that Christmas is a time to celebrate the people that you lost that it makes you feel closer to them. "That's the spirit of Christmas" No. That's you... and I feel it. My family feels it. Have you seen them? There... I haven't seen them this happy. Did you mean what you said about my Mom's tree being a place where people will gather and get together? "Absolutely. It's the center, the heart. It's a reminder that we are not alone, that we're home. At least it's what your family has been to me.

QUOTE:So what happened? "I messed up. I fell for her so fast Dad, and it's... I don't know, I got scared." That's human. When I met your mother, I was terrified. I thought, now that I know this person exists how can I live without them? "Well how do you?" Day-to-day. I count my blessings, but you don't have to live without Holly. Go get her. "No, she doesn't want that." But you don't know until you try.

QUOTE:About 40 years ago your mother and I planted that tree and she said something to me that I'll never forget. She said Georgie, we're gonna have our good times and we're gonna have our bad times but promise me one thing: that we keep growing, just like that tree. Love is scary, but losing love is scarier, and I'll tell you one thing for sure, it's worth losing it to have had it.

QUOTE:The Holly I know never takes no for an answer. "Well, the Holly I know is always protecting herself." Well you got hurt. That's life. That's love. You know? It hurts sometimes, but you have to pick yourself up and start again. We can't give up, especially you, because you're Miss Christmas!

QUOTE:What do you always say? At Christmas time we have to open up our hearts even when it's hard, especially when it's hard.

LETTER:Dear Holly,
We miss you. My Dad misses you most of all, even though he tries to pretend he doesn't. He's an enigma remember? Come back soon, please! Sincerely, Joey.
