Plot Summary

After ALF cuts down the family Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, Willie goes looking for a new one. After backing out of an auction for the last tree at the last lot in town, run by a man named Fahid, Willie Buys a fake tree. Unable to complete it in part due the instructions being in Japanese (which ALF claims to be able to read), ALF convinces Willie to travel to the mountains to cut down a real Christmas tree.

With ALF navigating, Willie drives the car off of the road and gets stuck. While they are awaiting help to arrive, Willie takes a nap and has a nightmare about his fake tree. When he wakes up, he finds that ALF has cut down a tree and tied it to the car, for which Willie gets fined by a park ranger.
