Complete story — includes the ending
As Christmas approaches, Tony has Bobby fill in for Pussy as Santa Claus, which prompts Tony's memories of Pussy in the role. Tony thinks about Christmas of 1995, where Pussy was sensitive about people touching his Santa costume. He suspects Pussy may have been wearing a wire under it, determining that the FBI must have turned him on a trip to Boca Raton earlier that year. Bobby takes the role, but is awkward and unappealing as Santa. When Janice complains about lasting pain in her wrist, Tony tracks down the man who beat her and brutalizes him, leaving Janice disturbed when she sees a report about it on the news. Tony goes to a strip club, where he finds Jackie receiving a lap dance. He beats him, and Jackie later admits to Tony on Christmas that he flunked out of college. Meadow gives Tony a Billy Bass as a gift, which he fakes enjoyment of while his family laughs at it.
