Mama saves the day for a bunch of kids whose parents waited till Christmas Eve to see Santa at the mall. Guest: Joe Fulton.
🎄It’s 1986, and Santa looks different after arriving late to the mall due to a flat reindeer.
Unfold that TV Guide you crafted into an angel centerpiece and join us for a semi-festive Christmas episode of “Mama’s Family” that will have you believing in either Santa or ghosts at the end of it.
