Synopsis
It's December 8th, and almost everyone is excitedly participating in the Christmas season. Graham is the odd one out; in his opinion, it's too early to start celebrating the holiday; he finds the festivities grating when they carry on all the way from late November. Despite his repeated protests, the other crew members take this to mean he hates Christmas.
Graham shrugs off two attempts at being made the protagonist of a clichéd Holiday film: first, he and the crew burst into song over Secret Santa drawings, but he manages to stop it before they get too far in; second, Beej and Alex throw blankets over their heads and attempt to initiate a Dickensian ghostly visitation narrative on him, but he walks away before they can succeed.
In the stinger, while explaining why it had stopped playing Christmas carols, Paul reveals that he has given the Laugh-O-Tron's "sophisticated" AI a voice (played by Ian).
