[edit] Plot

Phoebe's apartment renovation has finished, and she is preparing to move back in. Phoebe isn't sure how Rachel is going to react, however, when Chandler and Monica suggest that Rachel is having tons of fun living with Joey. She immediately buys Joey a drum set, hoping to drive Rachel from the apartment, but Rachel finds them just as entertaining as he does. An effort with a pet tarantula likewise fails. Rachel says that she still wants to see the apartment, and the two go to visit it, but when it turns out to be far more suited to a single occupant, they agree that Rachel will stay with Joey while Phoebe takes the apartment alone.

Ben is going to be staying with his father Ross over the holidays, and Ross tries to take this time to teach him about Hanukkah, but Ben seems far more interested in Christmas. Ross attempts to find a Santa Claus suit, a tradition Ben's mother Carol and her partner Susan started, but at two days before Christmas, the costume shop is understandably out of stock, forcing Ross to take the guise of the titular Holiday Armadillo, much to Monica's amusement. He has just gotten Ben interested in hearing about Hannukah when Chandler steps in with a borrowed Santa Claus outfit; this seems to be the end of Ben's Jewish heritage, until "Santa" expresses a great interest in the tale. Finally, just as Ross is about to launch into his story, Joey shows up in what he thinks is a Santa Claus costume: Superman.

Finally, Chandler and Monica are derailed from their efforts to see The Music Man when their restaurant reservation is delayed; Chandler attempts to bribe the maitre d' but fails, and continues to practise on random people (Gunther, Ben) throughout the episode.
