Death Takes a Holiday

"Death Takes a Holiday" is a Christmas episode of the television series [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H}}.

Synopsis
Hawkeye, BJ, Margaret and the Padre work against the clock, trying to keep a fatally wounded soldier from dying on Christmas Day, to spare his family from associating Christmas with his death. Charles at first appears to be a big Scrooge when his contribution to the orphans' Christmas dinner is insanely small. In fact, the Winchesters have a tradition of anonymous charity, which Charles upholds with a gift of finely made and wrapped confections given to the orphans. Though his intent was good, Charles still learns something about the realities of war and with Klinger's aid, manages to have a happy holiday. The wounded soldier does not make it to see the 26th, but the four aiding him agree to falsify the time of death to spare the family. Potter as Santa see to it that they get some Christmas cheer and grub as well.
