Hyacinth has decided that Richard should dress up as Father Christmas and distribute gifts to the old folk at the church hall. Richard goes next door to show his costume to Elizabeth and Emmett but he ends up drunk, so Elizabeth dresses up as Father Christmas instead. Hyacinth has invited Richard's boss and wife for drinks and then invites them along to the church hall to see Richard "distributing gifts to the poor". When they reach the church, they find that Daddy has arrived univited and is making a nusiance of himself. Hyacinth wants to smuggle him out without Richard's boss seeing them, so she disguises herself as Father Christmas!
