Mine were in Season 2 and Season 4. In the second season, Bob and Emily's plans for a Christmas Eve alone together are ruined when he gets snowed in at the office. LOVED the office party and the Jerry Robinson Trio's rendition of "Good King Wenceslas".

The fourth season Bob has to have his tonsils out on Christmas Eve. His "angel of mercy", the elderly Mrs. Loomis, is a scream. So much fun!!

I've only watched season 1 so far, so for now I'll have to go with "His Busiest Season" where he invites his group to his home during the holidays. Those others you mentioned sound good too.

season 2

They're all wonderful, I don't think I can pick just one. But the one where they all sing Christmas Carols....I believe that's "His Busiest Season"...has to be among the best.

You need to see them, Ann!! They're awesome. Great to see you back, too, Donna!!

The third season Christmas episode was funny, too, with Howard guzzling the eggnog made with ROOT BEER.

He was the only one who liked it, naturally.

Thanks for the welcome back - I've been away for the Thanksgiving holiday and was just swamped before we left.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but while flying on the holidays, I found out that Howard DEFINITELY had the wrong epaulettes for Navigator. If I recall, he wore three stripes - that's a Flight Officer/Co-Pilot designation, not a Navigator. One of the flight attendants on one of my flights was old enough to remember Navigators and said she thinks they wore 2 stripes.

When my husband ordered a Bloody Mary and they brought it to him in those little bottles, I giggled and said, "Howard!" My husband remembered that episode and also laughed a bit.

No problem, Donna - thank you for those insights.

They were all funny, but I would have to say my favorite is, I'M DREAMING OF A SLIGHT CHRISTMAS.

That episode always makes me feel so cozy.

I love the ending credits - instead of the usual scenes from the episode, a still shot of Bob and Emily curled up dozing on the couch is used. The credits run as a crawl.

I liked them all, but since I have to pick one, it's the one where he gets snowed in at the office on Christmas eve.

I love when the power goes out and Mr. Peterson yells, "HIT THE DECK!" He then hides under the desk. Gotta love him.
