In the ChristmasEpisode, the characters get together at AliceAndBob's house for a Christmas dinner. After their dinner, they decorate a tree, hang stockings, make a gingerbread house, and walk around the neighborhood singing carols. The next morning, they all receive gifts from "Santa Claus", who is actually Charles in a fake beard and Santa suit. There is no mention of Jesus Christ in this or any other episode of the show.
