This holiday episode of WKRP was first broadcast on December 20, 1980, six weeks after a U. S. presidential election in which a declining U. S. economy, high unemployment and rising inflation were issues.
The WKRP bullpen is decorated for Christmas. The station has become profitable and the staff believe they have earned much needed Christmas bonuses but worry that the Big Guy won't come through for them. With the help of Johnny's brownies, however, the ghosts of Christmas will help Mr. Carlson learn the true meaning of the holiday.
One of the best scenes in this episode was the visit the 1950s WKRP, where young, squeaky-voiced, Arthur Carlson, worked alongside aspiring cub reporter, Les Nessman.
