Since he only did this at Yuletime, he arrived sherrychristmased. Luckily, the Bailey's knew him well enough to lay him out on the spare bed until either Christmas, sobriety or alcoholic poisoning happened. It would not be the first time that the Bailey children would think that Nick, in his Santa suit, was the real thing...in fact he was often the topic of the next show and tell...
