When you have a show centered around a goofy Alien that's always getting into trouble and breaking things, it's hard to imagine that you could put together an episode as sweet, emotional, and touching as this one.
George, an old family-friend of the Tanners has spent the better part of his life helping others out with the love and support of his wife who recently passed away. Unfortunately now that he has lost such a big part of his life with the passing of Margret, he's faced with the challenge of continuing his selfless giving to so many around him or to put an end to such a great journey as the thoughts of taking his own life creep into his mind.
With a momentary conflict between Willy and Alf - Willy says some harsh things towards Alf that puts things into motion as Alf experiences quite the mini-journey of his own. Allowing himself to become a key factor in brightening the lives around him, both at a nearby hospital and on the road that George finds himself on.
Sure, this may not be the classic such as "A Christmas Carol" or have the cinematic presence that other great movies take on - but it's certainly a family-friendly Christmas episode that incorporates the personality of our hairy friend and a subtle reminder of the true importance of the Christmas season.
