Christmas is temporarily put on hold in the Bradford house when the family's presents are stolen.Christmas episodeFirst part of a two-part episode
The son of Tom's wartime buddy comes to Sacramento to set up a new R.O.T.C., which does not please Mary's liberal anti-war feelings. Over the course of time, they learn to respect each other's beliefs. Nicholas has problems with a bully, and another of Tommy's money making schemes backfires.
Tom's eccentric sister comes to town and decides that the Bradfords need a new home. The kids are excited, but as they fix up the house for sale they begin to fall in love with it again.
Off to San Francisco for a combination honeymoon and acceptance of an award for his column, Tom also finds that the kids wrangle their way along -- and the chaos begins.
Susan brings a boy home for dinner and gets jealous over his working with Abby. Nicholas is appointed water commissioner at home and gets fired for being too tough.
Joannie is offered a role in a Shakespearean play for the same night that Abby is going to tell her ex-father-in-law of her plans to marry Tom. Tom buys an engagement ring through one of David's friends.
