Cliff and Martin meet at the cafe for coffee. Two women hit on them and are disappointed to learn that they are married. Cliff and Martin introduce them to Theo. The Huxtable women spend the day on a shopping excursion. They convince Elvin to dress up in an elf costume when he visits sick children at the hospital. He is initially put off by the costume, but eventually becomes very enthusiastic about lifting the kids' spirits. Cliff and Martin are left alone in the house. Cliff pushes him for details about his courtship with Denise. They later bond over their experiences in the Navy. Cliff says that he is glad that Denise married such a good man, but is disappointed that he didn't get to give her away. The family organizes an impromptu ceremony in the living room so that Cliff can officially give his daughter away. Olivia and Cliff discuss Santa Claus and his racial background.moreless

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA
- The family plays a wedding re-run ceremony so that Cliff can give Denise away. Why was Martin conducting his own wedding ceremony? Couldn't someone else like Theo play the part of the minister or judge conducting the ceremony?
  EDIT SHARE
- It seems like Martin couldn't make up his mind on how to address Cliff. When Cliff meets Martin at the Cafe de Balzac, Martin addresses Cliff as Dad while sitting with the two ladies. Later at the kitchen, when they were drinking the apple juice, Martin addresses Cliff as Dr. Huxtable.
