Hi, y'all.

It's Leia, back with another video.

We're gonna try again.

Hey! It's Leia! What was that?

Hey, all! It's Leia, back with another video!

oday, I wanna talk to you guysT about Christmas.

It's coming soon. So, like, et's chat tradition and stuff.l

As Gen Z, it's up to us to either continue,

or bring in traditions from previous generations.

So here's a list of Christmas traditions

that Millennials have set up for us.

Leaving avocado toast for Santa,

or maybe some beard oil. Okay.

Genderless gingerbread person.

Okay. I, personally, think we should keep this.

White bread under the mistletoe.

I mean, I guess it's romantic.

Let me know in the comments if you think we should

keep any of these,

or if you have any traditions of your own,

please remember to share this video with your friends

and subscribe to my music channel.

hank you so much for watching.T

Bye!

Ah. I see you found the tree.

I waited for you to put the ornaments up with me.

Then I'm gonna decorate the front window.

Your dad gave me this one

on our first Christmas together in the city.

I don't have too much, okay.

We don't have to repack it all in a few weeks.

I just wanted some Christmas stuff out.

Jeez, look, Leia, I should be hearing any day now

about that new job in the city,

so we'll probably be moving after New Year's.

You already have a job.

Yeah. I wanna be a real cop in a real city.

I mean, come on. I can't spend the rest of my life

being deputy of Mayberry.

What "berry?"

It's this town, from an old show.

Whatever. On to the next home.

Look, the next home will be our forever home.

We had a forever home.

That was...different, okay?

Look, the next home will our last, I promise.

Did you get the orange juice I put on the list?

Oh, come on, Leia, we talked about this.

That stuff has more sugar than a kid's Pixy Stix

in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Kale and spinach, super healthy, keeps you regular.

- Regular? - Yeah.

You know...

keeps your bathroom time on schedule.

- You have a schedule? - We're getting off track here.

That's gross, Mom.

It's healthy.

Don't know why I can't drop you off at school?

Because we're in a police truck.

And you afraid your friends will think

you spent the night in jail?

No, because I don't have any friends.

The kids are all butts and stuff.

Hey, come on, don't say that. Don't say "and stuff."

Just say the kids here are butts.

But I'm sure they're not. I mean, come on, Leia.

Just give them a a chance.

Why? We're just gonna move in a month anyways.

Have a great day at school, sweetheart.

Don't be like your mother.

Be nice instead.

See you next week for some of those candy canes.

- Unloading inventory again? - Maybe.

Are you a stock boy or a sheriff?

They need help. It was a 5:00 a.m. delivery.

- In a fire zone. - So?

The quicker we unload the better.

Okay. Well, it's a good thing I brought you this.

- Light peppermint mocha, right? - Yes, ma'am.

Gotta get in that holiday spirit.

Ugh. I don't know how you drink that stuff.

Mmm. What, you don't like mocha?

No! I drink it black, like my soul.

So you enjoy your mocha,

and I'll enjoy my daily anti-murder juice.

A deputy who jokes about murder.

So glad I gave you this job.

So, who was in the shop this morning?

Was it Mario or Levi?

Couldn't tell you.

You'll get their names down eventually. It takes time.

No need. If I need anything, I need to say,

"Hey, you there! The guy with the face!"

- Okay, "Big City." - Hmm. "Big City." I like it.

Around here, it's good to know everyone.

It helps squash a lot of the problems

if you already know the people involved.

What problems? Too many cakes at their bake sale?

Sometimes.

You know, I don't think I remember a single crime

ever being committed here, not even when we were kids.

Why do you think that is?

Take Doug here. Morning, Doug. How are you?

Morning, Sheriff, Deputy.

Annie, you remember Doug?

Can't say I do. Apologies.

It's all right.

I don't know that I'm that memorable.

Doug Richardson. Pleasure.

Deputy Willows, but everybody calls me Annie,

except my dentist who calls me Bonnie,

but it's been way too long to correct her.

How's the shop doing, Doug?

Doing fine, Sheriff. Ready for the Christmas rush.

That's great. How are the boys?

Well, Danny's finishing up his first semester at State,

and hopefully Davy will join him next year

if all goes according to plan.

Those boys have a bright future.

We'll see you all at Holiday Park?

Wouldn't miss it, Sheriff.

- Good. - Good.

Doug of Doug's Hardware.

Aren't you glad you now know his name?

- I know plenty of people. -

Like who? Name one person?

Leia's teachers. Skylar something,

That's because Skylar Posey went to high school with us.

You really don't remember anyone else?

Look, I know faces. I'm bad with names.

But come on, eventually I'll get it.

Admit it.

You miss this place.

"Missed" is a strong word.

Take a deep breath.

What do you smell in this crisp, clean air?

Pine-Sol.

It's actual pine, Annie.

Hey, come, on, listen, it's a great place to grow up,

but I left for a reason.

Uh, ouch.

I don't mean it like that, okay?

I--I just wanted to see the world,

and so did Sean.

You sure did.

But I'm glad you're here now.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, uh...

You know, there's a lot I don't miss about the city, okay?

I mean, I once saw a mom with her dog in the stroller,

and her kid on the leash, so...

Who's that one? He got a name?

Herman Elliott. The Hermit is what the kids call him.

Herman the Harmless is what I say.

Morning, Herman!

Oh, have you met Father Justin?

No, but I should make an appointment for a confession.

I got a lot to discuss. Tell him to clear his schedule.

Hey, there's somebody I know. Mayor...

Lady Mayor.

Good morning, Mayor Ruth Mulligan!

I was close.

- How does it look? - B-E-A-utiful!

Looks like Christmas threw up all over the building.

I think it looks great.

You've got to get in the holiday spirit.

That's the second time you've said that today.

What are you? The Grinch?

Yeah. Did you ever stop to think about

maybe the Grinch would be nicer if every five minutes

some dude wasn't singing songs about what a jerk he is?

Sheriff Hay.

All right, all right. I hear you.

My finest deputy's on her way.

- Where am I going? - Mrs. Crinshaw's farm.

Ugh! Again? I mean, come on!

That woman calls us at least twice a week

to complain about too many clouds in the sky.

Hey, you remembered who she is. It's progress!

- I Googled you. - Oh. Uh...

You've been here half the school year

and haven't talked to anyone else but teachers.

I had to make sure you weren't a spy for the witch.

The witch?

The witch who lives outside town.

You and I would have serious problems

if you were working for her.

Don't worry. It turns out you're legit.

Thanks.

I found your YouTube videos.

- Oh, those are just-- - I liked a few and subscribed.

Really?

Oh, I'm Zora. This is Sebastian.

See ya.

Oh, sorry about your dad.

Okay. Bye.

- She's been kidnapped. - Hold on, Mrs. Crinshaw.

You have to find her.

Tabitha's been missing for three days now!

- How old is she? - She's four.
