Plot[]
Grace Brothers decides that it will have an electric Father Christmas model on each floor. However, the model has several unfortunate 'quirks' that cause Mr. Grace to cancel the idea and instead find a real Father Christmas to take its place. He offers £50 in cash for the job; however, since only one can be chosen, the entire staff competes in order to get selected to be "Father Christmas" and get paid. Additionally, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries stay after work to help Mr. Grainger prepare for his annual Christmas performance that he does for seniors.
