Michelle Davies on Alex P. Keaton's knee at the Mall
Miracle in Columbus is the third and final Christmas Episode in the series.Alex gets a job as a mall Santa, where he finally gets the spirit of Christmas after he hears a young girl's wish for her father to come home.
This episode provides the following tropes:
- Happy Holidays Dress: The other kids are in normal everyday clothes in the first scene with Alex at the Mall as Santa but Michelle? A fancy green dress trimmed with lace plus white stockings and black Mary Janes.
- Leaving Food for Santa: Andy wants to leave milk and cookies for Santa
- Mall Santa: Alex is one
- Santa's Existence Clause: Santa is real in this world.
- The Snark Knight: Michelle questions Alex's claim about being Santa Claus by saying how can he be when there are so many Santa Clauses at other malls, and then, when Alex condescends to her with a remark about how Santa has assistants like President Ronald Reagan does, she burns him by saying that she doesn't believe in Reagan, either.
