* AdaptationDeviation:
** Similarly, the present that turns Mr. Dundee into a somewhat nicer person isn't a bottle of vintage brandy, but a fur coat for his wife and a baseball signed by the 1961 Yankees for himself.
** Henry also discovers that he's the real Santa Claus when his fake beard won't come off, and he turns himself into a cloud of magic dust and zooms up the chimney. The original episode had Henry returning to the alley and finding a sleigh, some reindeer, and an elf who tells him that they have a lot of work to do.
** The magic bag was originally found in an alley that Henry walks down. In this version, it's originally a bag of trash Henry is taking to throw away, when its contents suddenly turn into toys and presents.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In this version of the episode, Mr. Dundee is a ''considerably'' bigger jackass, berating a junior salesman and another employee who accidentally sold the custom-made fur coat he intended to give his wife for Christmas and demanding that the pair be in his office at 9 o'clock on Christmas Day. The original episode had Mr. Dundee considered a MeanBoss largely because he's just stressed out from the holiday hustle and bustle, but mellows out when he's given a bottle of his favorite booze by Henry. This version of Dundee, on the other hand, hates Christmas with a passion and sees it solely as an opportunity to make money, pointedly saying "Good night" when another employee wishes him "Merry Christmas" and kicking a Christmas tree on his way out.
** The most significant alteration to Dundee's character is that the version seen here is a racist. He comments that it would not surprise him in the least if Henderson, an African-American security guard at his store, helped Henry Corwin sneak the allegedly stolen merchandise out of the place. Henderson's reaction makes it clear that it was intended as a racist remark.
* TheAlcoholic: As in the original episode, Henry is a chronic drinker. When Mr. Dundee fires him for showing up drunk and collapsing on a bunch of customers, he blames him for ruining Christmas for the children who wanted to see Santa Claus. Henry angrily tells Dundee that the children present will get everything that they want for Christmas, but there are other children who can't enjoy the holidays as easily, since their families are struggling to put food on the table. He admits that he drinks just so he can forget about how miserable the world is for a while.
* BadBoss: Mr. Dundee is noticeably a lot nastier in this version, being a racist and demanding that a pair of employees be in his office on Christmas morning.
* BecomingTheCostume: Henry goes from being a MallSanta to the real deal, turning into a cloud of magic dust and zooming off to the North Pole so he can get started for next Christmas.
* CanonForeigner: This version of the episode adds a new character named Henderson, an African-American security guard in Mr. Dundee's
* ContinuityNod: A news report heard on Mr. Dundee's car radio states that the ''Tim Ferret & Friends'' videos are selling extremely well for Christmas. This is the same cartoon series where Joey learned how to perform magic in "The Uncle Devil Show", three episodes ago.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Henry becomes the real Santa Claus after spending the whole night giving presents to everyone in town.
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat:
* KarmaHoudini: Even though he mellows out just like his original counterpart, Mr. Dundee suffers no consequence for his deplorable behavior and forcing two employees to work on Christmas. Hopefully he changed his mind after the episode ended.
* PrettyInMink: Mr. Dundee had a fur coat custom-made for his wife as her Christmas present, and is furious when a junior salesman accidentally sells it to a customer. Henry later pulls the exact coat out of his magic bag and gives it to Dundee, along with his signed baseball.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The cops who investigate Henry for theft note that such a high number of expensive gifts is unusual, but they also note that one man couldn't have possibly carried them all himself without difficulty. When Henry has no physical evidence to prove that he didn't steal anything, the officers are forced to take Henry to the station and confiscate all the presents, only for the bag to clear Henry's name by producing a bunch of receipts from Dundee's store.
* TheScrooge: Mr. Dundee was already a unpleasant in the original episode, but the version here cranks it up several notches.
* SettingUpdate: The original episode takes place on Christmas Eve, 1960. This episode updates it to Christmas Eve, 1985, as it features an an unflattering depiction of yuppies in Mr. Dundee.

Karen Billings (Pam Dawber), an overworked secretary thorougly demeaned by her boss Burt Nelson, is sent to make copies of a specific document. By using an unusual-looking, "out of order" photocopier to get the job done, she initially thinks that nothing out of the ordinary happens when she's bathed in a flash of light. When she heads to a Christmas party later in the day, she finds out that she has entered a parallel world where secretaries are treated like celebrities, as all the guests flock to her to hear stories of her secretarial adventures.

!! The Star
On a lengthy space exploration aboard the survey ship ''Magellan'', two crewmembers, Dr. Chandler (Donald Moffat) and Matthew Costigan (Creator/FritzWeaver), are engaged in a debate over the existence of God, when the ship suddenly picks up a signal emitting from a long-dead planet. Investigating the surface, ''Magellan's'' crew discovers that the planet was inhabited by an advanced extraterrestrial race, as determined through a collection of recovered artifacts. The crew learns that the inhabitants of this world were wiped out by a supernova eons ago, and the nova's light was visible from Earth, identified as the Star of Bethlehem. Being a Jesuit preist, Costigan is left in unimaginable misery that the birth of his saviour was heralded with the destruction of a benevolent people, leaving it to Dr. Chandler to try and cheer his friend up with something the inhabitants left behind.
[[folder:Tropes]]
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The short story ended with the priest left in agony when he learns the truth behind the supernova that wiped out the aliens. The episode's ending is extended so Chandler shows Father Costigan a poem that the aliens left behind, saying that they lived their lives to the fullest and shouldn't be grieved for. The optimism noted in the poem gradually brings Costigan out of his funk.
* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The episode seems to exchange

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After spending the episode's second half in a HeroicBSOD, Father Costigan is cheered up and has his optimism renewed when Chandler reads him a final poem the aliens wrote before they were wiped out. The poem says that the aliens weren't frightened of their extinction because they lived their peaceful and happy lives to the fullest, hoping that their knowledge can be passed down to a new generation and grieving for others who have yet to see the sun.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: The

* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: The crew of ''Magellan'' discovers a vault on the outermost planet of a solar system that was destroyed when its sun went nova in 3120 B.C.E. The vault was created by an advanced civilization that lived on one of the other planets in order to preserve their history, art, music, literature, and scientific knowledge, so their legacy could live on when they themselves could not.
* HeroicBSOD: Father Costigan undergoes a powerful one when he learns the truth about the Star of Bethlehem.
* HollywoodAtheist: Averted with Dr. Chandler, an atheist scientist who's close friends with Father Costigan, a Jesuit priest. When we first meet them, they're having one of their frequent debates on whether God truly exists, when their ship picks up a signal from an ancient civilization whose star had gone nova thousands of years ago. When Costigan discovers that the light of the supernova seen from Earth was identified as the Star of Bethlehem, he has a massive crisis of faith, questioning why or how God would possibly allow an entire race of kindly and peaceful aliens to die in unimaginable agony to herald His son's birth. Chandler, however, apologizes for his prior criticism upon seeing Costigan so distraught, and shows him a final message that the aliens left. In the message, the aliens tell whoever finds it not to mourn for them, because they lived full, rich, happy lives, and instead grieve for others who have yet to see the light, a sentiment they both find uplifting. This is a much kinder ending than the original story, in which the priest despairs at what he's learned, with no message from the aliens to save his faith.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: The music from the aliens' cube eventually becomes the soundtrack.
* LighterAndSofter: The ending of the original story left the priest in despair after finding out how an advanced and peaceful civilization perished under the signal of Christ's birth. The episode reverses this ending when Dr. Chandler shows Father Costigan a poem that the civilization wrote before they perished, saying that they should not be grieved for as they were peaceful and joyful, but to grieve instead for those that are still in the dark.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Survey ship ''Magellan'' is named after 16th Century explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The priest's name is Father Matthew Costigan in the episode, while he is unnamed in the short story.
* OddFriendship: Father Costigan, a Jesuit priest, is close friends with Dr. Chandler, an atheist scientist and one of his shipmates aboard ''Magellan''. They frequently engage in polite discussion about whether God is real, and whether the beauty of the universe is a result of His design, or whether it was crafted via random occurences.
* RagnarokProof: The pylon discovered on the dead planet, which was designed to withstand the blast of a
* StarOfBethlehem: It's a focal point of the plot, as it's revealed to have been a sun in a distant solar system that went nova and wiped out a civilization of peaceful aliens. Learning that his lord and saviour's birth was heralded by such a destructive event leaves Father Costigan borderline inconsolable.
* {{Utopia}}: The aliens that were wiped out when their sun went nova are heavily implied to have lived in one of these.
