Christmas
Calvin always experiences internal struggles during the Christmas season, trying to decide whether he should try to be well-behaved to get more "loot," whether his bad behavior during the year will negate any efforts he makes, or whether the presents are even worth being good. He remarks in one strip that "throwing these snowballs would give me immediate and certain pleasure. Refraining from throwing these snowballs in the hope of being rewarded at Christmas is delayed and uncertain pleasure." On Christmas morning, he usually wakes his parents up extremely early (5:00 for example) so that he can open his gifts, much to his father's disgust.
