Oh they don't just contain themselves to Christmas, the Dickens/Kapra model is used for every character to sort through all sorts of crap, from changing the nature of the shows 'sexual tension' to being a feeble excuse for a clip show.

OOH! Clip show! Those always suck.

OOH! Clip show! Those always suck.Absolutely. And any episode that is advertised as being "a very special episode" is sure to be preachy, moralizing, and shitty.
