synopsis
Not wishing to be the only person who hasn't bought a Christmas gift for Rebecca (Kirstie Alley), Sam (Ted Danson) does some desperate, last-minute shopping. Meanwhile, the Cheers staff begins having second thoughts about bestowing gifts upon Rebecca when she makes them work late on Christmas Eve; Norm (George Wendt) hosts a drunken gathering of sidewalk Santas; and Cliff plunges into charity work for ulterior motives. All this occurs during a TV marathon of It's a Wonderful Life (remember those?).
