This is a very gloomy episode. It's Christmas (again) at the 4077th. This time Father Mulcahey is questioning his impact on his fellows. Very much like George Bailey, he comes to realize that we all have a role to play in the war. Perhaps the most touching moment is when Major Winchester receives a gift from Radar ( at the suggestion of Father Mulcahey). Charles' stiff character is broken down and is touch (by the spirit of giving) and gives back.
A few lighthearted moments do nothing to break the gloom. But the viewer is left feeling sympathy for our wayward group of service men and women. Let their be peace on earth. But not here in Korea....
