The annual holiday episode, featuring warped yuletide nuggets; mostly festive, some flippant, a few nuclear, a couple Batman things and twelve answering message gifts. Holiday specials make a sorta profile, but we go all over Santa's map as we close 2011. Feliz navidad! And please, don't forget Betty White this Christmas when you're sending cards, especially since she's now more relevant than she ever was.
