It's during the Holiday's, and Frasier finds out his son Fredrick isn't coming over for Christmas. With nothing better to do on Christmas day, Frasier decides to air his radio show and ask listeners to give him input of their Holiday Cheer. Unfortunately all the callers are just as depressed as he is, and makes him even more depressed. Still depressed, he ends his show and decides to head down to dine at a local dinner bar, where he is mistaken as a homeless man and discovers how generous other people can be, making it not so bad of a Christmas.
