Ludachristmas

It’s holiday time and the staff of "TGS with Tracy Jordan" is having their annual "Ludachristmas" party -- complete with music, merriment, "The Human Table" and a Horny Santa. Unfortunately, Tracy (Tracy Morgan) can’t participate due to his newly court mandated alcohol monitoring bracelet.

Jack’s (Alec Baldwin) jaded mother, Colleen (Guest star Elaine Stritch), even shows up unexpectedly from Florida. The Lemons and the Donaghys go to dinner together, where Colleen spends the night trying to break the eternal optimism of the Lemon family. Meanwhile, in the spirit of Christmas cheer, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) decides to teach the writing staff a lesson on gratitude by inviting a priest to the party.
