Previous years have failed either from falling asleep or getting drunk but this year he is determined to put an end to the coal that has awaited him every Christmas morning for the past fifty years. As expected Santa Claus comes to his house and Lou pounces on him with a cane, tying him to a chair in the living room. When "Santa Claus" wakes up Lou is quick with the questions, finally getting the answers he's been waiting for - until the Santa Claus confesses to be a robber dressed as Santa Claus to steal presents under trees in the neighborhood. The two take time to reflect on their actions Lou upset that his once successful mission was a flop, and Bob opening up about his poor actions in life. They settle their differences over a glass of whiskey, and fall asleep on the couch. The next morning, Lou wakes up and discovers a surprise under the Christmas tree. Written by
