Unfortunately for Boyd he was invited by his brother, Nelson Mitchler (Clark Duke), to attend his baby's baptisim which was scheduled on the eve before Christmas; this forces Boyd to spend his Christmas with his estranged father, Mitch Mitchler, and the rest of his extended family of trainwrecks. It goes as well as one would expect given their disdain for eachother, but then Boyd learns that his wife (Lauren Graham) left Douglas’ presents at home, causing him to have to drive with Mitch and eventually leading to certain issues being aired out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Accidental Pervert: Shauna Weinke swears Dave is this, despite that Mitch says otherwise.

Bittersweet Ending: Downplayed; While Boyd manages to make it back and keep his son in belief of Santa, it's implied the night before during Douglas' Dream Sequence that he knows deep down that he will eventually realize that Santa doesn't exist in the way he thought he did. Despite this, it doesn't take away from the fact that even if he isn't the magical figure he believed him to be, the concept of Santa is still kept alive one way or another. To add more to the sweetness, Boyd and his father finally reconcile and the family has a happy Christmas, especially since it finally started snowing.

Big Eater: Apparently Rance Weinke is considered the pride and joy of Shauna's side of the family given his ability to win in eating contests.

Berserk Button: Don't ever say Nelson isn't a war hero infront of Mitch, even if the only reason the former has PTSD was because he fell off the back of a truck; Nelson technically still served in the Military.

Big Sister Instinct: Although Vera Mitchler is skeptical of the existence of Santa, she understands her father’s motives and keeps her little brother from realizing the fact just to keep him happy and even acts as a voice of reason around idiots like Rance and Pam Weinke.
