This amusing romantic comedy concerns Dr. Gerald Boyer (James Garner), a successful gynecologist with a wife and two children. Wife Beverly (Doris Day) focuses on maintaining the household and watching the kids. One of Gerald's patients, Mrs. Fraleigh (Arlene Francis), overhears Beverly talking up a new product she's discovered called 'Happy Soap' - whose manufacturer just happens to be Mrs. Fraleigh's father-in-law, Old Tom Fraleigh (Reginald Owen). She introduces Beverly to him; hugely impressed, the old man offers her $80,000 a year to pitch a new product called "Happy Soap." Beverly's career takes her away from her family responsibilities and causes a series of comedic commotions for Gerald and the kids. He comes home from work one morning and accidentally drives his convertible into a freshly dug swimming pool ordered by Beverly without his knowledge. The furious physician throws a bevy of boxes of Happy Soap into the pool, causing the house to be engulfed in suds by morning (which the kids mistake for snow). The family maid Olivia (Zasu Pitts) is nearly driven crazy with the events and has many harried scenes of comedic frustration. Directed by Norman Jewison, this thouroughly engaging comedy was written by Larry Gelbart and Carl Reiner. Reiner provides the screenplay for the feature which turned out to be the last film appearance of Zasu Pitts. With her passing marked the end of a long and successful career as a comedic and well respected actress that began in 1917.

Dean, Jenna, Lorna, Kevin, and Brett have dinner together--spaghetti, salad, and Brett's Coconut Clangers. Just as they're finishing up, Dean's band arrive to join Dean, Jenna, Lorna and Kevin for caroling. Lorna asks if they're going to carol with all of this, since the band brought their instruments. Dean says it's the best way. Lorna tells Kevin she doesn't think this is exactly what he had in mind. Kevin says no, it's better. Jenna tells Dean that Lorna has no idea what he's about to ask of her. Dean tells Jenna he knows, but let him handle it; he'll do the right thing. Jenna invites Brett along again, but Brett declines once more, tells the others to have fun, and leaves for her own plans. Lorna asks where they're going as their first stop, and Jenna suggests Felicia's. Lorna says Felicia doesn't need them howling outside her house. Jenna says they're not going to be howling. Lorna reminds Jenna that Felicia made it really clear that she didn't want to be reminded of Christmas, and Lorna thinks they should respect that. Jenna says maybe Felicia changed her mind. Lorna says that not everybody gets warm and fuzzy because it's Christmas time. Dean stops the bickering sisters by saying that there are a million houses out there, he's got one in mind, they're going to love it, and after assuring Jenna he has the keys, the group heads out to go caroling. Thanks to Janie for the scenes.

Dean and Jenna finish decorating their Christmas tree and Dean says that Lorna and Kevin are gonna be coming over soon and asks if she wants him to wash the lettuce or start the pasta. Jenna says no. Dean tells Jenna that he needs somebody out there campaigning for him, because he needs to do press and gigs and he's been getting nowhere without representation. Jenna tells Dean that if he and Lorna work together again, it has to be on equal footing. Dean replies that he knows this. Jenna wonders how Dean's going to get that with Lorna. Dean thinks that Lorna has changed a little bit--Kevin has mellowed her, and she's going caroling with them. Meanwhile, Kevin and Lorna arrive, but Lorna hangs back outside, saying she can't believe she's allowing Kevin to talk her into this. She tells him that her voice is like nails on a blackboard and she'll send people screaming into their homes. Kevin tells her they'll take their chances. Lorna complains that it's so cold out; Kevin counters that it's the perfect night for caroling because there is snow on the ground and there are stars in the sky. Lorna's hands are like popcicles and her nose is running; how magical. Kevin tells Lorna to be good, and he'll warm her up in her favorite way when they get home. Lorna tells him that's blackmail. Kevin says there's more and kisses her. Jenna opens the door and greets them with a merry Christmas. Kevin returns the greeting. Dean tells them to come on in and wishes them a merry Christmas. Kevin hears reggae music and asks what that is. Jenna tells him it's Brett--remember, the girl who lives upstairs, the one who fixed the furnace? Lorna and Kevin both remember her. Brett enters Dean and Jenna's then with a pitcher in one hand and a big boom box on her other shoulder and asks everyone, "How about some Coconut Clangers?" Kevin, taking in Brett's festive attire, asks if this is what the drink does for you. When Brett says yes, it does, and it does more than that, Lorna suggests they start pouring. Thanks to Janie for the scenes.
