Robbie's Christmas bonus at O'Neill's depends on organizing a charity toys drive, so he goes to a cheap sale, but finds out painfully it's run by a malicious mall Santa and his matching midget elf, Barnabus Finkel, who is fired after a public fight and turns up in the pub. Betting the meager $150 toys budget makes the disaster complete, save for a Christmas miracle... Syd is supportive of Joanie's second pregnancy, and her dad is clearly disappointed. Exposure to mischievous kids at her doctor's office tests Burt's preparedness for the burden of fatherhood. Her mean nagging about punctuality makes it even worse, so she fears to have chased the second accidental father away even before the birth.
