"Christmas" is the Christmas episode of the Channel 4 sitcom Friday Night Dinner.
Plot
It is Christmas Day, so Mum has made Christmas dinner. The boys are pleased that Grandma is coming round, but horrified that Dad's mother - Horrible Grandma (Rosalind Knight) - is coming too. Horrible Grandma arrives with her chronically ill dog, Boudacea, which has to wear an oxygen mask. Horrible Grandma hates Mum's turkey because is it very dry due to being overcooked, and Mum feels insulted when Horrible Grandma brings her own turkey with her to eat. Dad and the boys are jealous, as they too secretly loathe Mum's turkey. Mum embarrasses Jonny by making him wear a childish jumper with a dragon on it. Adam chokes on the turkey and Dad makes a bad attempt at administering the Heimlich manoeuvre, then puts the oxygen mask on him. After dinner, the grandmas argue and pull each others' hair. Dad breaks them up by pouring water over their heads. Jim turns up three times; on the third occasion, he is dressed as Father Christmas. After this, Boudacea dies.
