The Arnolds' throw their annual Christmas party, but after things just aren't the same with their guests, this may be their last. Jack's old war buddy Bill Foster (Parker Whitman) shows up without his wife beloved Marsha and arrives with his young girlfriend Carol (Kimberley Kates) instead. Jack's golf buddy Lou (David Selberg) stopped drinking and Al Wannamaker (Marty Zagon) has a coughing attack. Neighbor Ed Ermin (Ben Slack) gets away from his wife Mrs. Ermin (Candice Azzara) and everyone else when he makes himself at home by smoking marijuana in the basement. After Kevin and Wayne get back from a soda run, they find all the guests have left and their parents are curled up by the fire; they just wanted to be alone. Guest Starring: Carol Mansell as Lou's wife, Jeanne, and Roger Nolan as Mr. Weisman.
