Plot: It's Christmas and Frasier is doing some shopping. One of the things he's buying is a menorah for Frederick who is half-Jewish. He knocks over some things and a woman, Helen Moskowitz, helps him out. She learns he's single and sets him up with her daughter, Faye.
Frasier and Faye get on very well but Faye learns Frasier is not Jewish - and she is. Faye has no problem with this but is worried about her mother who thought Frasier was Jewish (because he was buying Frederick's menorah). Frasier agrees to pretend to be Jewish to help Faye out.
However things don't go that well, as firstly Frasier's Christmas tree arrives, which is hidden in the bathroom; then Martin wonders where his Christmas reef has gone; then Eddie arrives wearing a Santa hat, and then Niles, dressed as Jesus for a play, turns up and has to be hidden in the kitchen so that Helen doesn't guess the truth…...
