Excitement grows in the Spencer household as the annual nativity play fast approaches.
Further details
With Frank starting a new job and the nativity play (which Frank is certain he's going to appear in) about to take to the stage in the near future, Christmas is looking good for the Spencers. Frank later discovers that his new job is working under his new neighbour, Mr. Jackson, and is told that he won't be playing his usual role of Joseph in the play, but is given the tasks of building the scenery and minding the real-life donkey. Though, during the last rehearsal, Frank gets the chance to act after the woman appearing as the angel of the Lord phones in sick.
