    It was a spoof of that Christmas story with the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

    Michael was depressed and in a bar and was saying that everyone would have been better off if he had never been born. Then, all of a sudden, a gust of wind comes in and he is greeted with what it would have been like around there if he'd never been born.

    It was a take on the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" where Jimmy Stewart's character says out loud "I wish I'd never been born!" He's taken by an angel to view what the world would be like IF he had never been born. Paul was Michael's escort in this case. It was never determined if Michael was drunk, sleeping and dreaming- it's left up to us, the viewers, to ponder. Chances are it was a one shot Christmas deal and Monday, it won't be addressed again.

  • yeah they were just focusing on him b.c. he has been through a lot and i think its more of a lesson for all of us who are like what would happen if we werent born. basically Michael was in Jimmy's bar being down on hisself and he said i wounder what would happey if I werent born and his wish was granted. Paul was just taking him back but now he appreciates his life and family even more then before.. We could all use that..
