I only saw this episode about a year ago on Peacock and couldn't have agreed more with KayMack review. I grew up with FKB but forgot this one. I thought it was really poorly written how that family would agree to go the night before Christmas to find a tree. How Dad puts up with Betty's whining about missing a party without pushing her into a snowbank was hard to swallow. Everything is hard to swallow like that old squatter who thinks he can give these people a Christmas with stolen items. It was so simplistic too having Kathy believe that Santa found her even in an abandoned cabin. Is that reindeer at the end? Way unbelievable could have been whimsical if better written.
