After looking forward to spending Christmas with Frederick and the rest of the family up at an actual log cabin, Lilith informs Frasier that Frederick has a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Austria, see Julie Andrews and have dinner with her (The Sound of Music is Frederick's favorite movie). This leads to a row with his father and he ends up deciding to stay at home for Christmas and do the noon - 4pm slot on KACL that Bulldog has been trying to get someone to fill. After quite a depressing show, he ends up at 'Lou's Place' where a lot of homeless people go for their Christmas meal. Having eaten, he realizes he has left his wallet at the station but the others don't believe him and they have a whipround for him, leaving Frasier feeling very humbled.
