For those who dread the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, check out Julia's reaction to the women walking around spraying customers without their permission. Also check out her and the other women's reaction to Suzanne's entrance into Sugarbaker's with a new pet. Unfortunately, Noel was only a quick site gag, mentioned several times over the series, even though the memory makes fans think that it was on more often.
The main plot, what little there is, surrounds Mary Jo's concerns at her young son Quinton doesn't believe in Santa Claus anymore. Charlene and Anthony dress up as Santa Claus and her elf and unbeknownst to them, the Santa Claus that Suzanne has hired to takes presents over to Mary Jo's ends up robbing them. The episode more surrounds the meaning of the Christmas spirit which has a special gift for Julia from Charlene.
Several of the cast members get to sing a few Christmas carols, with a deep voice Anthony singing "The Christmas Song" and a high voiced Mary Jo singing "I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus". This is one of the great TV sitcom Christmas classics of all time, moving and funny and not turning Noel into Christmas dinner. The episodes ends with Julia singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" as pictures of the cast celebrating their own Christmases as children take over the screen, an appropriate way to end a very well written episode
