Calvin once again faces the daunting task of behaving before Christmas so he can get his presents, trying to come up with some way to convince Santa that he's worthy of being on the nice list.
Tropes
- Being Good Sucks: Calvin plans to do ten spontaneous acts of good per day until Christmas to get on Santa's nice list, but he's miserable the whole time, endlessly complaining about the 'sacrifices' he's making.
- Deadpan Snarker: Calvin is loudly griping about how much he hates the dinner his mom cooked (guessing that it's boiled guano on raw maggots), but that he's eating as much as he can in order to impress Santa. Calvin's mom decides to roll with it.Calvin's Mom: More maggots?Calvin: SURE! PILE 'EM ON!
- Happy Ending: Calvin gets his gifts on Christmas.
- Heel–Face Turn: Calvin's plan to get on Santa's nice list is to do a lot of good acts in the couple of weeks leading up to Christmas in order to convince Santa that he's turned over a new leaf after all the naughty acts he's performed during the year.
- Toilet Humor: Calvin says that he thinks the supper his mom made is boiled guano (bat poop) on raw maggots.
