Synopsis[]
Furious when the Jeffersons forbid her to let her boyfriend stay overnight, Florence quits her job - to the distress of Louise and the delight of George.
Storyline[]
Everyone is in the Christmas spirit, that is except for Tom and George! Christmas Eve brings disharmony to the Jefferson household when George argues with Tom over the preparations for Lionel and Jenny's wedding, namely, concering the skin color and denomination of the presiding minister. A group of carolers lead by a Baptist minister (who, incidentally, is white) gives Louise a great idea to stop the bickering between George and Tom.
