The Model Wife

A Christmas Story

It's Christmastime, and Ron and Rachel decide to limit the kids' gifts in hopes of making the holiday less materialistic. When Trevor finds out his friend Julie has run away from home, he hides her in the basement. While taking care of his friend, Trevor fails to complete his gift to Emma, which upsets Ron and Rachel until they find out the reason. After Ron helps Julie reconcile with her father, the Aimes praise Trevor for knowing the true giving spirit of Christmas. Meanwhile, Bruce spends the day helping out at a soup kitchen in order to impress a beautiful woman, who he later learns is a nun, and Francine decides to spend the holiday alone because she misses her daughter, who is spending Christmas with Francine's ex-husband.
