The whole gang is showing up for Christmas and Jack, Rochester, and Mary have the house decorated, the food cooked, and the presents wrapped. Sounds perfect... but there is always a catch... a funny "catch" when it comes to anything Jack does, especially if it involves presents and the money to purchase them... This show was aired on Dec. 26, 1943. There are several references to rationing and supporting the troops as this show was aired in the middle of World War II.
