Mork is frightened and overwhelmed by the mad rush of his first Christmas until Mindy explains the Earth observance and its meaning. Mindy
reluctantly relents when Mork, who learned that the season is a time of caring and sharing, wants to invite pretentious Susan Taylor to join
them and Mindy's family for the holiday. Mork asks his young friend Eugene to accompany him to a discount store to buy presents, but is
informed by the clerk that he doesn't have enough money. Mork is excited by Eugene's suggestion that he can make gifts, and does so. Later,
when he overhears the reactions to his strange labors of love, Mork is hurt. Then with childlike innocence and joy, he finds a way to give
the best gifts of all to Mindy's family and her "fair-weather friend", Susan. |
