It's a blizzardy Christmas Eve. C.C. is in a bah-humbug mood, but Fran is more concerned about Brighton, who doesn't want to buy gifts for anyone but expects to receive gifts anyway. Believing Brighton doesn't have the proper Christmas spirit, Fran decides to take him to a homeless shelter to demonstrate that Christmas is about the giving of oneself. Suffering a concussion along the way, Fran dreams that she, Brighton and Chester are swept up by a gust a wind into Santa's candy land world where a single Santa looks and sounds like Maxwell, and where Chester and snowmen, elves and reindeer (all sounding like Niles) can talk, but where C.C., the Abominable Babcock, is out to destroy Christmas. To save Christmas and show Brighton its true meaning, Fran believes that all the Abominable Babcock needs is a little understanding and kindness.
