When the family decides to get jobs, Al couldn't be more happier but the jobs are all for him including working as the mall Santa Claus and dealing with the kids and Mrs. D'Arcy who has a sing-a-long to remember regarding Al Bundy's life. He goes to the Santa Bar where he insults an elf. The bar has a no elves policy. He almost gets into a fight with volunteer Santa who say "If you do good for others, you will get back ten-fold." One of the other Santas holds Al back and jokes "You can't help it, he pushed you." Anyway, Al finally has the money to buy them nice presents like breasts for Bud, a watch for Peggy, a television for Kelly so she never has to read, a bike for Seven, and nothing for Buck as usual. This episode features a flashback to when the family was younger except the kids just act younger.

All I want for Christmas is a few laughs.

Al takes on the role of Santa at the mall so that he can afford to buy his family presents. After a long shift of obnoxious brats perched on his knee, and being ridiculed by Marcy and Jefferson, he goes to a bar to drown his sorrows...
I wasn't a fan of the festive episodes of MWC for seasons two and four, so I was grateful that they didn't bother doing any for five and six. Season seven's Christmas episode, imaginatively titled 'Christmas', reminds me why I don't like them: they're just not that funny. This one nose-dives early on with an embarrassingly-bad laugh-free flashback to 1974, Christina Applegate pretending to be a little girl and David Faustino as baby Bud in a highchair. And it never improves, the low point being Marcy and Jefferson leading a terrible Christmas singalong that mocks Al.
I think I chuckled once, when Santa Al makes a remark about a fat kid ("What's he want a pony for anyway? To put between two slices of bread?").
