"Blea-uck!"
The medical staff is cleaning up O. R. when Klinger walks in with their Christmas packages from home. Then Colonel Potter enters and announces supply was cut off and, unless there are donations, there will not be a Christmas dinner for the orphans. All the staff donate something including Winchester who donates a can of oysters despite his receiving several very large packages. Then Major Winchester tries to sign out a jeep saying it's for a girl. That night the major takes his packages filled with candy to the orphanage and leaves it anonymously with Mr. Choi after explaining his family tradition. Later, at the party, Winchester sees Rizzo with one of the candy bars in the packages. An angry Winchester goes to Mr. Choi and finds out that the candy was sold to buy nutritious meals for the orphans. Klinger finally cheers up the major by bringing him dinner "anonymously." In the middle of the party a wounded soldier comes in who should be dead. BJ, thinking of the man's family, convinces Hawkeye and Margaret to help keep him alive until December 26th. The man dies before midnight, but the doctors turn the clock ahead so the family will remember Christmas as a happy time. Colonel Potter plays Santa Clause this year.
Trivia: Where did Winchester's candy come from?
This episode was also rerun as the 10th season Christmas episode on December 21, 1981. This is the final appearance of three for "Keye Luke" on M*A*S*H. This is Sally Imamura's second appearance. The only problem with the story of the man dying on Christmas is that if he would have been allowed to die when he was first brought in, it would have been Christmas Eve back home. Now he DID die on Christmas in the United States and the family might get the telegram for a Christmas gift.
A good episode.
