** Chris will turn into a figurine when the clock tower rings eight times on Christmas eve. [[spoiler:Pepper cheats by moving up the clock five minutes so he'll transform early, though he still has time to complete the task.]]
** This is turned on Pepper in the end. [[spoiler:It seems like Chris has lost because his family is two rings short, but Santa points out that they have extra gold rings: Chris and Carol's wedding rings. Pepper never specified ''which'' gold rings were needed.]]
