| It's Christmas Eve and Mrs. Davis is going away, leaving Connie alone. A little boy comes to the door with a sob story and is trying to sell Christmas trees. He says the trees are magic and Connie agrees to buy one. It's a little fake one, but Connie likes it. Connie falls asleep holding Minerva the cat. She then has a dream. Walter comes by with a present for Connie. He tells her he was to spend the evening with family but he was able to visit her for a little while. Walter thanks her for allowing him to come to her for advice. Connie mentions that Mr. Boynton had to go visit his parents. Connie has a gift for Walter but he says he'll open it later. The Conklins then arrive. Osgood asks Connie if she prepared next semesters schedule. Connie says that she took the time off from school as a vacation. Philip shows up and tells Connie that his parents decided to come see him and will arrive in the morning. Walter and Harriet want Philip to stand under the mistletoe with Connie. But he's allergic and starts sneezing. Harriet suggests opening presents. Walter touches the little fake tree, it starts glowing and he gets a funny feeling. He tells Harriet she needs to be more alluring like Connie. Conklin, who wasn't thrilled about being at Connie's house, touches the tree and gets the holiday spirit. He makes Connie head of the school's English department. Philip touches the tree and suddenly takes Connie in his arms and kisses her. Connie says she feels as though she were in a dream. Connie then wakes up and the Conklins, Walter and Philip show up. Connie notices the little fake tree is gone. The little boy selling trees comes to the door again and Connie says she'll buy ten of them. | ||||||
