It's Sam who notices the funny smell at first, but it takes a while to identify it as a crack in the furnace, which means that they have to turn the heat almost all the way off so the whole house doesn't go up in a ball of flame. Dean thinks it would be cool, but the look he gets from Dad tells him it would be a really bad idea to voice that thought aloud. There are no repairmen available until after Christmas because it's the holiday season, they're busy, and anyway it's not like they can afford the holiday rates.

Sam tries to help Mom with Christmas dinner, but his mashed potatoes turn out weird and lumpy, and the turkey doesn't thaw in time for it to be cooked properly. Dad trips over the dog, who's been underfoot in the kitchen all day, hoping for scraps, and somehow sprains his ankle amidst a string of curses each more colourful than the last.

In the end Mom makes hot chicken sandwiches from yesterday's leftovers, and they pile together on the sofa —Dad with an ice pack tied to his ankle— and watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on the TV until Sam falls asleep on Dad's shoulder and Dean curls up in Mom's lap and nobody says anything about it at all.

The cracked furnace actually happened to me and my parents over Christmas in 1999. It was not fun, but we had a great Christmas anyway.
