14. Oy to the World

An animated Christmas special. Brighton is acting very selfishly, and Fran wishes he could learn that Christmas is not about what you get but what you give. On their way to help at a homeless shelter a gust of wind whisks Fran, Brighton, and Chester to the North Pole where they meet Santa Claus, who looks a lot like Mr. Sheffield, and learn that Santa might not make it this year because of an entity called the Amazing Babcock.

Complete story — includes the ending

In this animated Christmas special, Brighton is more concerned with receiving presents than the spirit of giving, so Fran decides to take him to a homeless shelter to teach him about the less fortunate. On their way, the two (along with C.C.'s dog Chester) are swept up in a winter storm and find themselves at the North Pole, where Santa Claus (who looks identical to Maxwell) and his elves (including Maggie, Grace, and a lounge-singing Niles) are struggling to defend the holiday from the Ice Princess of the North, "C.C. the Abominable Babcock". Fran eventually solves the problem, saves Christmas, and even teaches Brighton the true meaning of the holiday. Guest stars: Pamela Hayden and Maurice LaMarche.
