Christmas is a running gag in Calvin and Hobbes.

Calvin and Hobbes exchange gifts on the cover of Comic Relief.

Role and Description

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, shows little of this enthusiasm. Calvin is often seen writing letters to Santa Claus, attempting to justify his "good" behavior, although Hobbes would usually point out Calvin's evil deeds. Snowmen and Snowball fights often feature here. Oddly enough, despite many Christmases having passed, Calvin has never grown past the age of six.
