Lex had explained the error after she told him she would be working on Christmas and couldn’t jet off to Europe for dinner the night before. Either way, Christmas Eve with Clark, Super Claus, and the orphans had beat out hours on an airplane with Lex.
After they had left the orphanage, Clark had taken her out for a late dinner in Chinatown. Lois had mentioned her theory that Superman belonged to the Santa Claus family to Clark. He had promptly laughed so fully and heartily at her suggestion that tears had actually come to his eyes.
Oh I love it! How Christmas with Clark outweighs a European date with Luthor! (and Europe around Christmastime is really fun, I know because I was in London for a week in mid-November when Christmas decorations were going up.)
I think this was a really nice version and definitely something I could see within an episode.
