| Synopsis | - Batman crashes a Christmas party in a gangland hideout and forces gang-boss Matty Lasko to tell him that he has a boat waiting in Gotham Harbor for his old cellmate, Boomer Katz. After learning from a derelict that Boomer has taken a job as a Santa Claus at Lee's Department Store, Batman realizes Boomer has got the job to help somebody knock over the store. But Boomer Katz has succumbed to the Christmas spirit, especially after receiving the accolades of store manager Jackson on his role as Santa. Thus, he cannot bring himself to disable the store's alarm system, and tells gangster Fats Morgan so. Fats forces Katz to get them admitted, and, when Boomer runs for it, has him shot in the arm. Batman is drawn by the gunfire and captures Morgan and most of his men in the store. Unknown to him and to two policemen who arrive, Boomer Katz is being held prisoner by one of Morgan's men under a Nativity display. But a brilliant star's light pours through the hole where a stolen Star of Bethlehem had been, and clearly outlines Boomer and his captor. Batman takes out the crook. By the time he and Boomer can look up again, the brilliant star is gone.
- Superboy attends the Legion's Christmas celebration and conceives the idea of having the Legion track down the Christmas star.
- While riding through the Woods tracking a pair of wanted Outlaws called the Tull Brothers, Jonah Hex meets a frontier family, who are fighting about their Christmas dinner. The Father intends to slaughter a Fawn, which the young daughter is fiercely trying to protect. Remembering a pet that he had as a child, Hex strikes a deal with the Father, bargaining that the man won't kill the animal if he can find them another suitable dinner. Although Hex has difficulty finding any game, by chance a bright star leads him to a cave where the Tull Brothers have holed up. They shoot at him, and he kills both of them. He then brings the food they had with him back to the family. The family is grateful, although the father admits that he probably wouldn't even have been able to shoot the Fawn after seeing his daughter react like that. Jonah wonders about the significance of the star in helping him aid the family, but ultimately discounts it, not being a religious man.
