MM> That was one of my regular shows BITD, but I don't recall that
MM> ep.  I'll have to check it out.  I'm guessing Jennifer was the

Almost.  Venus was the present and Johnny who, unlike the other two, was dressed
more like a dark foreboding figure than a Christmas one, was the future. 
Without giving too much away, in the future, the station was fully automated and
Herb was the only employee.  

Really good episode.  That show had two Christmas episodes during its 4-season
run.  The other one was about how all of the other characters, except Jennifer,
seemed to be in a hurry to get out of town and get to their plans, and didn't
really care about the office celebration that Jennifer had worked on.  Then
everyone gets worried that Jennifer will be alone for the holiday.  That one was
funny too.
