Curb Your Enthusiasm

Mary, Joseph & Larry


Larry proves himself an incompetent Christmas tipper, while both he and Jeff prove themselves incompetent at creating believable alibis for the messes they get into. After offending the housekeeper, Larry – still suffering from a scratchy throat – attempts to make it up for them with a little Christmas cheer…


Even though it’s the season of festive cheer, Larry can’t help but spread misery, as he tips his gardener Carlos more than his housekeeper Dora and believes he’s tipped a waiter at the golf club too much. Larry then drags Dora’s good name into an alibi to protect Jeff from Susie after he made a “platonic” phone call past the “platonic phone call cut-off”.

To make up for the poor tip, Larry takes Dora to the club for a meal, but when Susie arrives she discovers that Jeff’s alibi involving the much taken advantage of housekeeper was a complete lie. Enough’s enough for Dora and she quits. On yet another roll, Larry offends Cheryl’s family by eating their cookie nativity.

On a mission to make up for his misdemeanours, Larry recruits a nativity scene. Things go a bit askew when Larry suggests that Mary and Joseph go at it “every now and then”, and then there’s a grapple, oh and there’s pubic hair involved too.
