In 1978, On the Christmas episode of “M*A*S*H”, “Hereʹs to the Christmas we were supposed to be home by,” toasts Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) to his bone-tired, war-weary medical troops in “Dear Sis,” a lovely little gem, written and directed by star Alan Alda, about keeping your sanity while half of those around you are losing theirs and the other half are losing their lives. Sweet Father Mulcahy (William Christopher), whose holiday letter home to his sister makes up this episodeʹs voice-over narration, is having a crisis: His faith in God couldnʹt be stronger, but he feels he plays no important part in the life-saving efforts at the 4077th. He hangs around, he laments, “on the edge of effectiveness.” Nobody comes to confession; his services go unattended. He gives last rites to the dying, “but if only there was something I could do for the living.” Yet by Christmas Eve, he learns that all the kind, little things he does for others are the very things that keep them going in a crazy world.
