It is Christmas with the Chandlers however nobody appears to have the Christmas spirit - aside from Stephanie, that's. Marci and Blair are obsessing over being the proper dad and mom, Myra and Donald have retired and abruptly really feel ineffective and Elizabeth is bending over backwards to get a promotion at work. Add to that Stephanie's blooming romance with Lawrence - who's torn between being along with her and persevering with his mission work - and Christmas appears to be taking a again seat. That's, till a gaggle of youngsters at an orphanage helps the household to understand that there is extra to Christmas than wrapping items and baking cookies.
