* '''Enforced''': The[[ExecutiveMeddling execs]] insist that an episode scheduled for broadcast on or around December 25 be holiday-themed. Since there is no logical reason for Christmas to exist within the show's universe, the writers have to come up with a fictional holiday that just happens to feature decorated trees, gift-giving etc.
