It's a Nunsense-sense kind of time when the Sisters of Mount Saint Helen's Convent tape a special Christmas program in their own Cable Access TV Studio. The planned program is complicated by a collision with The Nutcracker ballet resulting in unplanned Secret Santa drawings and a cooking segment presented by Father Virgil Trott. The Convent Christmas gifts go missing, the "Catholic Home Shopping Service" airs with some slightly unusual gifts and betwixt the mayhem, the genuine spirit of Christmas lovingly envelopes the audience.
