This is the public planning/suggestion thread for the Christmas Marathon. If you have any awesome examples of Yuletide Ridiculousness to suggest, you can do it here!
The only problem with that is we have a Rifftrax-baked-in version of the SWHS that we play every year. Even if we created our own from the raw files, the audio also riffs on commercial breaks, so it's important that the right recording be used.

OK, I had probably too much fun (job, schmob) researching holiday episodes and TV specials. Maybe some of these will strike the right tone. (I've missed many of the past Christmas Marathons, so apologies if they're already in heavy rotation.)

Usually December 24 and 25, but looking at our inventory we've got a ton of content, we might could start it, maybe with only sporadic attendance by crew, on December 23. That is kind of a pie-in-the-sky idea, but we've done it before.
