HEY, GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO HELP DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS?
-YEAH! -YAY!
♪♪
Jen: YES, LAST CHRISTMAS WAS OUR FIRST ONE WITH THEM,
WHICH WAS EXCITING IN AND OF ITSELF,
BUT NOW THIS CHRISTMAS, THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT OLDER,
AND I THINK THEY'RE GONNA UNDERSTAND
AND BE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
-DADDY! -ALL RIGHT, KIDS.
WHOA! I NEED CHILDREN.
IT'S NOT JUST BILL AND I,
IT'S NOT JUST BILL AND I AND OUR EXTENDED FAMILY AND FRIENDS,
IT'S BILL AND I AS MOM AND DAD WITH TWO ADORABLE KIDS,
AND SO CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT KIDS IN MANY WAYS.
Jen: FLY.
HO, HO, HO!
-HERE YOU GO, BUDDY. -THANK YOU!
Bill: WILL IS SUPER THRILLED TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS,
AND HE LOVES DECORATING THE TREE.
GOOD JOB.
Jen: YOU KNOW, IT'S A SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR.
PEOPLE GET VERY EXCITED -- YOU KNOW, ADULTS AND KIDS --
AND SO I DEFINITELY WANT WILL AND ZOEY
TO HAVE GOOD MEMORIES
OF THE PREPARATIONS AND THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.
-YOUR TURN. -GET ME A GREEN ONE, WILL.
-OKAY! -YOU READY?
-UP YOU GO. COME ON. -UP WE GO. UP HE GOES.
WILL THE REINDEER. Woman: OHH!
HE'S UP IN THE AIR, HE'S FLYING EVERYWHERE.
GOOD JOB.
HERE WE GO, NAINAI.
THIS IS THE -- WE'RE COMING UP.
-THERE. -YAY!
Bill: LAST YEAR, MY FATHER-IN-LAW AND I DECORATED OUR HOUSE.
THIS YEAR, I WANTED IT TO BE BIGGER,
AND SO I HIRED A GUY,
AND HE DECORATED THE WHOLE HOUSE.
HEY, WILL.
LET'S GO LOOK AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.
COME ON.
PUT YOUR HAT ON. LET'S GO. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
[ DOOR UNLOCKS ]
HE'S GETTING A LITTLE TOO EXPERT WITH THAT.
-I KNOW. -I GOT THEM.
Jen: UNTIL YOU SEE THE LIGHTS ON,
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE, SO, YOU KNOW,
WE TRIED TO GET WILL AND ZOEY EXCITED ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN,
AND AS SOON AS THEY HIT THE BUTTON,
ALL THESE LIGHTS ARE GONNA COME ON.
I THINK WILL WAS VERY EXCITED TO HIT THE BUTTON
AND MAKE THE LIGHTS GO ON.
READY? LOOK AT THE HOUSE.
Bill: THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE. THERE YOU GO.
IT'S GONNA BE LOTS OF LIGHTS.
[ SWITCHES CLANK ]
-YAY! -WHOA!
WHOA!
-MERRY CHRISTMAS! -WHOA!
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LIGHTS IT ACTUALLY IS,
BUT YOU GOT TO FIGURE, AN ICICLE FOR EVERY FOOT,
BLINKING LIGHTS IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER,
FLASHING, STROBING -- YOU KNOW, ALL THAT FUN STUFF.
IT'S KIND OF BRIGHT AND MULTI-COLORED AND DISCO-LIKE.
DADDY.
I LIKE IT, BUT I'M THINKING,
NEXT YEAR, WE'LL GO MORE CLASSIC CHRISTMAS.
-OOH. -OOH!
LOOK WHAT I GOT, WILL.
Jen: ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE TRAIN?
CHOO-CHOO-CHOO.
AH! AH! CAREFUL, CAREFUL, CAREFUL!
[ CRASH ] AY, AY, AY.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT HE'S TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS,
BUT WE NEVER HAD KIDS,
SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE, "WHAT'S THE POINT?"
CHOO-CHOO!
Bill: WHOA!
THAT'S THE REMOTE CONTROL.
THAT'S WHAT CONTROLS YOUR TRACK.
-YEAH. -LOOK -- TRACK.
TRACK IS NOT A TOY.
-TOY. -OKAY?
THE TRACK IS WHAT THE TRAIN GOES ON.
SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHERE'S IT GOING?
WELL --
IT'LL PROBABLY FIT ON THE TREE SKIRT.
JUST PUT IT RIGHT INSIDE THE WHITE TRIM.
ALL RIGHT, WILL, CAN YOU PUT THAT DOWN FOR BABA?
-UP TO YOU. -ALL RIGHT.
SEE IF WE CAN'T SOMEHOW GET THIS AROUND THE TREE.
I THINK IT'S ON THERE.
WATCH.
HOLD ON. HOLD ON, WILL.
WE GOT TO GET IT ON THE TRACK.
WHOA!
WHOA.
UH! UH! UH! UH! HOLD ON.
WAIT. WAIT, WILL.
♪♪
OH, CAREFUL. NO, NO.
WILL, DO ME A FAVOR. WAIT JUST A MINUTE.
WELL, WE'RE GETTING THE POWER TO IT.
OF COURSE, WILL WAS LOSING PATIENCE.
HEY, WILL, CAN YOU LET MOMMY SEE THAT FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?
BABA NEEDS THAT TO FIX IT.
NO. NO, NO, NO.
COME ON. [ SHRIEKS ]
NO, WILL. MOMMY NEEDS IT.
BABA'S GOT TO FIX YOUR TRAIN.
COME ON. I KNOW.
WILL CAN HAVE IT BACK IN A MINUTE.
IN A MINUTE, IN A MINUTE.
HEY, BE READY, BE READY.
THESE GUYS ARE WEARING THIN.
[ CRYING ]
-HERE YOU GO. -WILL, COME HERE, BUD.
Bill: I'M ASKING A 3-YEAR-OLD TO TRY AND BE PATIENT.
THAT'S RATHER DIFFICULT TO DO.

WHOA. WHOA.
CHOO-CHOO!

NOW, BE NICE! [ CHUCKLES ]
ARE YOU DOING, LIKE, POUNDING ON BABA'S BACK?
DOES THAT FEEL GOOD, BABA?
[ Normal voice ] FEELS GOOD.
-OKAY. OH, YEAH. -OH, GOD.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, THAT COULD BE A BAD THING.
EVERYBODY SLOW DOWN.
IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO BE ABLE TO SHARE
A TRADITION THAT MY DAD HAD STARTED WITH ME,
AND TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH MY SON,
TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT TOGETHER, IT'S PRICELESS.
Jen: SO, AFTER BILL FINISHED THE TRAIN,
I ALSO HAD A LITTLE LAST-MINUTE PREPARATION
FOR CHRISTMAS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE FUN.
MOMMY GOT NEW STOCKINGS.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR STOCKING IS?
-THAT ONE. -THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT'S IT SAY?
IT SAYS "WILL"?
Will: YEAH.
"WILL"? YEP. AND "ZOEY."
AND THAT'S ZOEY'S RIGHT THERE?
Jen: IT WAS SO FUN TO ORDER STOCKINGS FOR WILL AND ZOEY,
'CAUSE THIS IS THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS HERE,
BUT I REALIZED AFTER I HUNG UP WILL AND ZOEY'S STOCKING
THAT IT LOOKS KIND OF FUNNY
TO HAVE "BILL," "JEN," "WILL," "ZOEY,"
BECAUSE WHEN I GREW UP, IT WAS "MOM" AND "DAD."
SO I GOT ONE THAT SAYS "BABA" AND "MOMMY."
Bill: "BABA" IS "DADDY" IN MANDARIN,
SO I'M OFFICIALLY "BABA" TO BOTH MY KIDS.
ALL RIGHT, SO, I GOT "BABA," "MOMMY," "WILL," AND "ZOEY."
DAD, WHERE'S THE STAR?
Bill: IN MY HOUSE GROWING UP,
IT USED TO BE A LOTTO,
BECAUSE ME AND MY BROTHERS WOULD PICK OUT OF A HAT
WHO GOT TO PUT THE STAR ON THE TREE.
ALL RIGHT. I HAVE ONE THAT SAYS "STAR"...
Jen: WE MIGHT HAVE TO UPGRADE TO A BIGGER KIDS' TREE NEXT YEAR.
...AND ONE THAT SAYS "BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR,"
WHICH MEANS NO STAR THIS YEAR, OKAY?
-UH-OH. -IT'S ALL LUCK.
READY?
SO, I'M GONNA PUT -- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
-HEY! -NOW, LADIES FIRST.
HOLD ON. LET ME SHAKE THEM UP.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND STICK YOUR HAND IN THERE...
[ SHRIEKS ]
...AND JUST GRAB ONE PIECE OF PAPER.
AND I GOT TO CHECK YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU...
Jen: [ CHUCKLES ] YEAH, RIGHT?
JUST ONE. ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON TO IT.
♪♪
ALL RIGHT, NOW UNFOLD THEM. OKAY, LET'S SEE.
LET'S SEE WHO GOT WHAT.
-WILL GOT THE STAR. -WILL, YOU GOT THE STAR.
ZOEY, WHAT'D YOU GET? WHAT'D YOU GET, ZOEY?
[ CHUCKLES ]
Jen: "BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR."
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
NO STAR FOR YOU.

I'M THE CHRISTMAS TREE NOW.
YOU'RE THE CHRISTMAS TREE?
[ BILL AND JEN CHUCKLE ]
LOOK, MOM. PERFECT.
MOM, LOOK.
NICE. I LOVE THAT.
-HOLD ON. -THERE YOU GO.
YOU PUSH IT DOWN AS HARD AS YOU CAN.
KEEP PUSHING. YOU'RE NOT GONNA HURT MY HAND.

THANKFULLY, THE KIDS' TREE IS DONE.
