"Christmas with the Addams Family" is the Christmas episode of the ABC sitcom The Addams Family, based on the comic strip created by Charles Addams, produced and aired on Christmas Eve of 1965 as the fifteenth episode of its second season. On Christmas Eve, at the Addams Family household, Gomez and Morticia are working on wrapping Christmas presents when Pugsley and Wednesday tell them that their next-door neighbor, Mr. Thompson, has told them that there is no Santa Claus. Gomez and Morticia tell their kids not to worry, reminding them that they previously disproved Mr. Thompson's claims when he rained on their cherished Halloween beliefs in a previous episode. After Uncle Fester also assures them that Santa's real, Gomez and Morticia decide they'll need a "back-up Santa" in case the real one doesn't show up so that the kids don't lose their faith. They nominate Fester for the job, and Morticia calls up Kaski's Costumers to rent a Santa costume. Fester doesn't think he's right for it, but after realizing how heartbroken the kids will be if Santa doesn't show, he promptly heads off for the costume shop. (more)
