Three characters talking. The only thing vaguely Christmas-related visually is that the character on the right is wearing a partial Santa suit, which probably isn't even obvious at first glance. I'll open with this one of The Berenstain Bears.

Yeah, I have no idea how the current is supposed to relate to the trope. The suggestion isn't all that strong but is better than nothing, so [tup] for the switch.

It gets my vote in lieu of anything else.

So, Seen It A Million Times used to have a picture (from this Evil Inc) that spoofed how common Saving Christmas is. Since Seen It A Million Times has been made an Administrivia page and stripped of a picture, that strip could be used here.

[up] Either the first and last panels, or the last panel by itself, could work.

I think the last panel works on its own.

Last panel of Evil Inc works.

Let's go ahead and run with the last panel, then.

I don't think it needs one, unless someone's got something droll in mind.

I'd go with no caption.

Pretty good, though I can do without the last three words. They seem like unnecessary word cruft.

[tup] 16 works well, although I do agree with Adept that it can do better without the last three words.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

"At least December 26th", as a compromise?
