Chad at the gravesite with flowers for Abigail. He whispers Merry Christmas and talks to her about how hard it is to wake up every day without her. Jennifer shows up and hugs Chad. They talk about missing Abigail and his relationship with Stephanie.
Gwen setting table in a dress from a 1980 prom, on the phone with "Matty" talking about how she did a favor for Xander and he owes her one. Thomas heard and wants to know why Xander owes her? What did she do? Gwen lies that she helped Xander pick out Sarah's Christmas gift, but it's a secret and he can't tell anyone. Pinky Promise! Jack overheard the pinky promise, wants to know what they are conspiring about. He laughs and takes Thomas into other room with the kids.
Sarah in a skimpy red jumper thing that isn't flattering to her at all (but it looks better than Gwen's 1980 prom dress) with Xander in their motel room. She gives Xander an early gift. It's his ornament for the Horton tree. He doesn't feel worthy. She begins to share some of the sins of the supposed saints in the Horton tree. Maggie shows up to help encourage Xander.
Julie and Doug are sitting in the living room of the Horton house. Julie talks about how much she misses Eli and the kids. They walk in and surprise her. Carver is sound asleep in Eli's arms, Jules is in stroller to start with, later in Eli's arms. Eli talks about how hard it is without Lani. Valerie helps but she is no substitute for their mother. Jack and Charlotte walk in, Eli, all kids and Jack go upstairs to see playroom. Jules starts crying so they rush (off the set to mama's arms probably, lol. Watching, it was as though it was Charlotte scared her haha, they are all so cute)
Sarah arrives at Horton house and goes upstairs. She sees Thomas who tells her about missing his mommy and then tells her the "big secret" that Gwen helped Xander pick out her Christmas gift. Oops.
Now, all are downstairs: Doug, Julie, Chad, Charlotte, Thomas, Eli, Carver, Jules, Xander, Sarah, Maggie, Jack and Jennifer. Julie asks Doug to sing, so he starts singing "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and soon everybody joins in. They begin to hang ornaments and enjoy donuts. The camera shows the following ornaments: Tom, Alice, Hope, Bo, Bo II, Ben, Maggie, Eli, Carver, Jules, Lani, Mackenzie, Sarah, Xander, Alice (Allie), and Henry. Gwen looks on to the tradition with an annoyed look. Chad is shown in front of the tree with his arms around Thomas and Charlotte in a hug.
Doug and Julie alone again after party is over. Doug says that Julie outdid herself. She lifted everyone's spirits. He can't wait to spend Christmas with her, his love. They kiss.
Gwen is shown alone with the tree. She holds up Xander's ornament and sighs "at least someone is having a Merry Christmas".
Lights out later that night, Jack is texting. Jennifer walks in and asks who? He says it's Maggie, he wanted to make sure she got home ok. He then asks if the kids are all asleep. Jennifer says yes, all are dreaming of Christmas and St. Nicholas, even Eli who was worn out from traveling with 2 small children. Jennifer thinks they should head to bed, too. Jack says he has other plans. She retorts, "In a house full of people?!" and smiles as he jokes "well I know I can be quiet." He pulls her in close to kiss her but JJ calls and interrupts. He wishes them a Merry Christmas.
Sarah and Xander are in bed talking about the day. He gives her a gift. She retorts "oh, the one Gwen helped you pick out?" He looks surprised. She says "Thomas told me all about it. How now you owe Gwen one." He then plays along and claims she was there in the square and could see how clueless he was so yes she helped. She opens the gift to a sexy lingerie item and looks really annoyed that Gwen was shopping for lingerie with him.
Chad is shown alone with the Horton tree. He talks to Abigail about how proud she'd be of him staying strong for the kids. He bought them gifts to be from her, things he think she'd want for them. How he hopes it helps. We then hear Abby's voice "I'm sure they did." Chad looks up and the angel from the tree is missing. He turns around and Abigail is dressed as the angel, standing there. She tells him "Death cannot even keep our love apart." She also tells him to find joy again and to look for her in their kids' faces. Then she vanishes, and he turns around to find the angel back on the tree. He whispers, "Merry Christmas, my love."
