The rest of the family believe it's all in Bob's head and that the candy cane truck was just driving past them. However, Bob notices that the candy cane truck was actually waiting for them and tries to run them off the road. The semi takes off and the Belchers head home. Linda tries to spread Christmas cheer to the irritated driver by honking the horn in time to 'Jingle Bells', but, as Bob tells her, all the driver can hear is honking. While pulling out of the tree lot, their car is almost hit by a large semi truck decorated to look like a candy cane. Teddy finds himself pinned under the refrigerator as the Belchers search for their tree. Bob asks Teddy to check on the ham he is cooking, but Teddy is inadvertently caught in a trap set by Louise to catch Santa. When it dies on Christmas Eve, the family is forced to seek out a Christmas tree at a far off lot an hour away. When it dies on Thanksgiving, the Belchers get a new one the next day. On November 1, Linda sets up the Christmas tree.
