From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Home For The Holidays Week!
Today's contestants:

Roan Johnson: Mother of two (soon to be three), from Ridgeland, MS
Clayton Capps: Recent graduate of University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, studied music and played in gospel; from Salado, TX
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, soon to be even more if you're good to these puzzles. Let's start!
Roan solves SANTA'S ELVES. That didn't take long, but a $3,000 bonus could come even faster if you solve this Puzzler!

The Wheel was naughty to Sonia once, but will it finally be nice and guide her to the $5,000 space?
Roan solves A FLURRY OF ACTIVITY.
DING DING! DING DING!
We're almost out of time, however. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth...BANKRUPT $900 a piece.

Clayton: T ($900)
Sonia: N ($900)
Roan: H ($1,800)

BMPO could be good to her...
...but Vanna's stuck to the ground.
She's silent and Pat jokingly guesses BED CLARN. Roan does not solve KEY CHAIN...
...and we can't give her the Lake Tahoe trip. Roan leaves with $11,500 in cash.
In the post-game, Pat and Vanna stand near a fireplace with a bunch of stockings. Charlie's Christmas stocking...is his actual stocking, as Pat suspects. Pat also notices one of the "bulbs" is burnt out in the fireplace.
One time, Vanna was a bad girl, and she got switches in her stocking...whatever those are.
