I think maybe these are the only two Christmas episodes I've seen:

1. Three's Company (Three's Christmas)
2. Happy Days (don't know the title, but I think it had Fonzie miserable and alone with a single twig for a Christmas tree, and then being invited to join the Cunninghams. Saw it, oh, 24 years ago).
