I actually prefer "Oh, Hear the Angels' Voices" as a Christmas episode to this meh entry written by Price & Nathan, since that had Howard Hesseman and more memorable musical numbers. Even Squiggy and Lenny as respectively an elf and a fairy doesn't save it. The not-quite-O.-Henry ending of Laverne and Shirley exchanging Elvis pictures that they've autographed was my favorite moment.
Hamilton Camp plays the lead bum, Rags, but he doesn't make the sort of impression he would on Three's Company or M*A*S*H, among other places I know him from. The role of the bratty Kid is Scott Marshall's only L & S appearance, although the then nine-year-old son of Garry had already been on Happy Days four times out of his five and would do two cameos on Mork & Mindy. Wayne Powers seems to be playing a completely different Policeman than in the "dog pound" episode, since he has no memory of meeting Laverne, unless this is set before that. And Lynne Marie Stewart's third part on the show is Sister Sarah.
