20 Calvin and Hobbes Comics to Get You in the Christmas Spirit

by The GoComics Team

Their mischievous ways may have secured them a permanent spot on the naughty list, but nothing brings us more cheer than Calvin and Hobbes' Christmastime shenanigans.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Calvin (reading): My hands were all shaky, my face had gone pale. A letter from Santa just arrived in the mail! It was hand-written in old-fashioned ink pen. It was handsomely printed and dated twelve ten. "Dear Calvin," it said. "I'm writing because this year I've repealed my 'naughty/nice' laws. So now, I urge you: be vulgar and crude! I like it when children are boorish and rude! Burp at the table! Gargle your peas! Never say 'thank you', 'you're welcome' or 'please.' Talk back to your mother! Don't do as you're told! Stick your tongue out at your dad if he scolds! Drive everyone crazy, I really don't care! Act like a jerk! Anytime, anywhere! I'm changing the rules! The bad girls and boys will be, from now on, the ones who get toys! Good little kids make me sick, it's no joke. Sincerely, Signed Santa" ...And then I awoke. I hate being good (or trying to fake it). Six days until Christmas! I don't think I'll make it.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Letter: Dear Santa, Every year at this time I send you a list of what I want for Christmas. And every year you callously ignore it and bring me practical things I don't want at all. What's the deal?! Are you insane?? Have you gone senile?? Can't you read?? Or are you just a vindictive, twisted elf bent on destroying little kids' dreams?!?! Hobbes: You might want to sleep on this one. Calvin: I know, but it felt good to write it.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Letter: Dear Santa, Last year I did not receive the 15,000 items I requested for Christmas. I can only conclude that your secretarial staff must be a bunch of underpaid and woefully unprepared temps, and my letter was misfiled. To avoid a similar disaster this year, just write me a check for five million dollars, and I'll buy the stuff myself. Calvin: See, this year I won't be disappointed. Hobbes: I'd leave out the part about the temps.

Letter: Dear Santa, Hello, I am Calvin's new baby brother, Melville. Enclosed is a list of what I want for Christmas. Please don't confuse my list with Calvin's. There are two kids at this house now. Calvin: Man, if Santa falls for this, I'll add a new brother every year! Hobbes: "Melville"?

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Calvin: I wish Santa would publish the guidelines he uses for determining a kid's goodness. Calvin: For example, how much does he weigh motives? Does he consider the kid's natural predisposition? Calvin: I mean, if some sickeningly wholesome nerd likes being good, it's easy for him to meet the standards! There's no challenge! Calvin: Heck, anyone can be good if he wants to be! The true test of one's mettle is being good when one has an innate inclination towards evil. Calvin: I think one good act by me, even if it's just to get presents, should count as five good acts by some sweet-tempered kid motivated by the pureness of his heart, don't you?Hobbes: Of course, in your case, the question is academic. Hobbes: I wanted to put a rock in the snowball, but I didn't. That should be worth a lot!
