The Christmas episode is centered around the big holiday itself and Portwenn is preparing for a wonderful time of year. That is until Martin closes down Santa&#8217;s grotto because he suspects that Santa (Leonard, played by Ron Cook) is harboring something contagious. This puts a dent in the festive cheer and Louisa&#8217;s special Christmas parade.<\/p><div id=\"morty-128251604\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>This prompts locals to refer to the Doc as &#8216;Grinch&#8217; but it&#8217;s part of his general demeanor regarding Christmas anyway.
