Calvin is mailing his Christmas list to Santa. It's costing $2.40 to send. Calvin says Santa had better read it carefully. Last year, he didn't get half of what he wanted. Hobbes asks Calvin if he behaved better this year. Calvin says he's been a veritable angel this year, like always. Hobbes says in that case, they can have a cookout with his stocking contents. Hobbes asks if Calvin put anything on his list for him. Calvin tells him to make his own list. Hobbes sticks his tongue out and tells Calvin "tidings of comfort and joy to you too". Calvin tells him it's every man for himself in this world. But since Calvin can't reach the mail box flap to open it, he tells Hobbes to give him a boost.

That's a big envelope. Are you mailing a book? Yes. Well, at this price all I can say is that Santa had better read it darn carefully. Last year I didn't get half of what I wanted. Have you behaved any better this year? It depends how you... hey, just what are you insinuating?! Why, I'll have you know I've been a veritable angel this year, just like always! In that case, we can have a cookout with your stocking contents. Did you put anything on your list for me? What, and pay more postage? This package is breaking my arms already! Go write your own list! Tidings of comfort and joy to you too. Look, it's every man for himself in this world. Now give me a boost, will ya.
