Ted opens presents with Michelle and Henry on [=FaceTime=], but when the call ends, he's left alone in his flat drinking whiskey and watching ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife''. His lonely holiday is interrupted by Rebecca, who brings him along on her annual charity work delivering Christmas presents to underprivileged children. Meanwhile, Higgins and his family host an open house for any Richmond players who don't have family nearby. While attendance in past years has been low, this year every one of the team's international players shows up with food, drink, and, in [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Richard's]] case, a date. The players make themselves at home, playing games with Higgins' sons and drinking with him and his wife Julie.
