Frasier is thrilled that his son Frederick will be coming to Seattle for Christmas. Grandpa Martin decorates Frasier's condo to excess -- and then some. But when there's a mail order mix-up with Frederick's presents on Christmas Eve, Frasier and Niles are forced to go to the mall in search of new gifts. Meanwhile, Niles discovers that Maris has cut off all of his credit cards, which he takes as a sign that she still loves him; and Daphne tries to decide what kind of gift she should give her new boyfriend. The toy store is a zoo, with shoppers fighting over the few remaining Outlaw Laser Robo-Geeks, the top-selling toy of the season. That toy is of no interest to Frasier, who purchases intellectual gifts for his son. At home, Frederick chimes in that he's really looking forward to getting the Outlaw Laser Robo-Geek for which he asked Santa, and Frasier feels terrible, until he discovers that Martin bought the toy for Frederick. Happily, Frasier re-wraps the toy and presents it to his son.
