** Upon learning that Buddy was working for the real Santa Claus, who actually brought Michael a Huffboard that he wanted, this inspired Michael to take action by taking Santa's book and read it on live television in order to raise the Christmas spirits among several citizens (mostly the children). At first, it was a success, but things went south when Michael ends up revealing the Christmas gift that the TV reporter Charlotte Dennin wanted, which ends up embarrassing her and ordering her crew to cut off the live feed and leave in a huff.
