TV Movie. First aired December 21, 1951. On Christmas Eve, Ralph comes home with potato salad, but Alice is unhappy because it's from Devito's instead of Krauss's. She sends him back out to get the potato salad from the right store. While he's gone, Trixie and Ed come over, and a parade of visitors entertain them and Alice. When Ralph finally shows up an hour after he left, a policeman is with him. Having been arrested for prowling around Krauss's, Ralph asks Alice to vouch for him. Satisfied that everything is okay, the policeman leaves. Ralph is initially furious, but when Alice starts laughing, he sees the humor in the situation and joins her.

At 24:00, Rudy Cardenas shows up at Ralph's apartment and is introduced as a friend of Ed Norton, who calls him a terrific juggler. He then does 5 minutes of his juggling act, starting with 3 and then 4 clubs, before moving on to mouth stick and ball, shaker cups, and finishing with 3 top hats.
