Christmas in New Jersey, Sopranos style. Bobby Bacala has been handed the Santa suit for the family party, and it stirs up memories of the man who used to wear it, which Tony would much rather keep buried. Meanwhile the family business carries on regardless, in ways that would never make it into a school nativity. It is the show's Christmas episode, though it first aired in the spring, so you are not late. Bleakly funny, rather sad and very violent in places, it is a long way from Morecambe and Wise, but if you like your Christmas with a bite, pour a Baileys and settle in.
