Hmmm, I still can't remember them, but I'll certainly take your word for it. Thank you! :)

Just in season 1 and season 5. Season 5 didn't involve a Christmas tree but it was about Christmas

There was one 5th season. Santa's Helper.
Arnold spent all his money. He got a job helping a Fake Santa out so he could buy presents for his family. The guy ended up ripping off the Drummonds.
It was funny Gary wore a Santa suit.

I thought the season one ep was early to be doing flashbacks. Fresh Prince did that on a Halloween themed ep during its first season. I'm just nitpicking. LOL.

Johnny be good!

The Facts of Life had more Christmas episodes than DS did. Home Improvement had one every season.

Actually there was a Xmas tree in the Season 5 episode. The Drummonds were decorating it in the beginning of the episode while Mr. D was videotaping it.

Exactly

There was one in Season 1 - which was basically a "retrospective" that did not mention the Christmas holiday other than showing a tree in Willis'/Arnold's room.

Then the one in Season 5 featured SNL Alum Garrett Morris as a Salvation Army person dressed as Santa that Arnold runs into on the street - he then later breaks into the Drummund residence.

Those are the only 2 I remember.

There were two Christmas-themed episodes of "Strokes" that I'm aware of: season one's "Retrospective," and season five's "Santa's Helper." I watch "Retrospective" on DVD every year during Christmastime.
