"Night of the Meek" is the first segment of the thirteenth episode from the first season (1985–86) from the television series The Twilight Zone.

Henry Corwin comes to work as a department store Santa Claus drunk. The store owner Mr. Dundee, fires him. Dundee is already upset that the custom-made coat for his wife was sold to a customer and blames Corwin for ruining Christmas for the kids. Corwin rebuffs Dundee saying that it will be the kids that cannot shop at his store that will be disappointed with Christmas.

Corwin is at his apartment depressed on Christmas Eve getting ready to take a garbage bag to the street. He hears the children caroling and says that he wished that he had something to give them. They move on. Then Corwin notices that there are toys coming out of the garbage bag and calls for everyone to come to him.
