Basic Trope: Non-Christians celebrating Christmas.

  • Straight: Alice, who is Jewish, celebrates Christmas along with Bob, who is Christian.
  • Exaggerated:
    • She even goes to church at Christmas.
    • Alice, who is Jewish, celebrates all twelve days of Christmastide and greets everyone with "Christ is Born!" on the holiday season.
    • Alice is a Satanist and she still celebrates Christmas.
  • Downplayed:
    • Alice is agnostic (which means not strictly religious but not strictly an atheist) and many agnostic people, including her, celebrate Christmas.
    • Alice is Jewish, and, while she does wish Bob a merry Christmas, she doesn't celebrate Christmas herself.
  • Justified:
    • Alice wanted to see what celebrating Christmas was like.
    • Alice is celebrating Christmas as a cultural event rather than religious one.
    • Alice wanted to bond with Bob.
  • Inverted: Bob, who is Christian, celebrates Hanukkah with Alice, who is Jewish.
  • Subverted: Alice is going to Bob's church with him, but turns away at the last second.
  • Double Subverted: Then she goes into another nearby church with Charlie and Carol.
  • Parodied: Alice converts to Christianity for a day to celebrate Christmas.
  • Averted:
    • Alice celebrates Hanukkah.
    • All the characters are Christians.
    • There are no Christmas Episodes.
  • Zig-Zagged: Alice and Bob seem to be celebrating Christmas and Hannukah at the same time.
  • Enforced: The show is made for a Christian audience, whose members would complain if the characters weren't shown to be like them after all.
  • Lampshaded: "Why am I celebrating Christmas? I'm Jewish!"
  • Invoked: Alice tries to accommodate her mostly Christian social circle.
  • Exploited: Alice studies Christianity through celebrating Christmas with Bob.
  • Defied: Alice refuses to celebrate Christmas as she is Jewish.
  • Discussed: "Why is Alice celebrating Christmas? I thought she was Jewish."
  • Conversed: "Why is that Jewish character celebrating Christmas? Don't Jews celebrate Hanukkah?"
  • Implied: Alice is at a Christmas service with Bob. Going by the looks on their faces, he takes it more seriously than she does.
  • Deconstructed: All the "occasional" Christians make Christianity seem less like a deep religion than a fad.
  • Reconstructed: A significant number of the new entrants take it seriously and grow the faith beyond Christmas.
  • Played for Laughs: Alice's ignorance of Christmas is played to make her look silly.
  • Played for Drama: Alice's family disowns her for not following her upbringing.

Every person of every faith can visit Everyone Is Christian at Christmas.
