Similarly, a couple of episodes in the main series do alude to the schism between religious Christmas and commercial Christmas.

* The ''{{Peanuts}}'' special ''It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown'' is an actual Easter example. ''ACharlieBrownChristmas'' nicely subverts this: Snoopy is only concerned with winning a house decoration contest, Lucy is more concerned with getting a nice tree than with the Christmas pageant, and Charlie angsts about how commercialized Christmas has become (in TheSixties, mind you). Later on, Linus reminds the whole gang about the holiday's true meaning by [[TheBible reciting part of the second chapter of Luke]], in which the shepherds learn of Jesus's birth. This is actually what makes the show a classic — by going back to the real meaning of Christmas, it stood out in an increasingly commercialized world.

The Pattersons get dressed up and go to church, where young Michael is somewhat fascinated by the choir and stained glass windows and such. He asks his mother if the church is always open and she tells him yes, it's open every Sunday. In the final panel, to the amusement of the nearby preacher, he innocently inquires, "Then how come we only come here twice a year?"

* The Wizarding World of the ''HarryPotter'' stories celebrates Christmas with a feast and gifts, and traditional hymns like "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". They also have Easter holidays complete with Easter eggs. Otherwise, the only other references to religion are a generic "man in black robes" who's implied to be a wizard clergymen, the presence of godparents and a WordOfGod reference to Harry's "Christening", and that both the Potters and the Dumbledores have Bible verses on their graves.
