Christmas is a running gag in Calvin and Hobbes . Throughout the month of December, Calvin works himself up for the event, worrying about the presents he will get or simply impatient for the day to come. His family though shares little of this enthusiasm. His Dad sees the Christmas TV specials as ways to sell products while his Mom was seen losing her patience for Christmas novelty songs.
Calvin is often seen writing letters to Santa Claus, attempting to justify his "good" behaviour while requesting ludicrous amounts of presents. Meanwhile Hobbes would usually point out Calvin's evil deeds and general misbehavior. One time quite humorously Hobbes practically threw up as Calvin wrote in that he has been very good, giving a good idea about his behavior.
Snowmen and Snowball fights often feature here, especially when Calvin is torn between the temptation to ambush Susie with snowballs for fun now, rather then be good and be rewarded later. Another strip had Calvin building a mountain of snowballs, claiming that the day after Christmas will be epic.
Several story arcs have been centered around the holiday as well. Calvin once decided to trek to the north pole with Hobbes being his lawyer, as he wanted legal reprensatation so he wouldn't lose any presents for Santa not considering "All the mitigating circumstances" of Calvin's behavior. Another time, Calvin and Hobbes got in a big fight as Hobbes rolled his eyes at the thought of Calvin actually being good.
