In the meanwhile, everyone praises Gilligan for his good cheer and wait for the rescue ship. In turn, they share their memories of that first day. The girls kiss Gilligan in gratitude for his Christmas wish of being rescued. However, after waiting a while, they check for more news and learned the Navy had rescued other castaways that had been stranded for eleven years on a different island. On Christmas Eve, everyone is disappointed and tired, but the Skipper shows up as Santa and reminds them of everything for which they should be thankful before departing. At that moment, the real Skipper returns from gathering wood in the opposite direction. Filled once more with good cheer, everyone starts wishing each other a Merry Christmas as sounds of Santa's sleigh bells ring over the island. </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Credits</h2> <p
