Do They Know It's Christmas Time?	comment	What happens when Status Quo Is God smashes into a Christmas Episode. Perhaps no one ever goes to church or mentions a deity the rest of the year, but every now and again, around Christmas, our heroes will be shown the True Meaning of Christmas (it's never presents — well, not usually) and caring, and realize just how lucky they really are. They may even go to a Christmas church service, probably midnight mass on Christmas Eve. At the very least, they attempt to be kinder and more charitable toward those around them, embrace the brotherhood of humanity, and so forth. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Next week: back to the usual whining, angst, arguments, adultery, and code-breaking. Common plotlines are the "Gift of the Magi" Plot, Yet Another Christmas Carol, Away in a Manger. But then again, perhaps You Mean "Xmas". The title of this trope is taken from the Band Aid song, "Do They Know It's Christmas?"—although that particular number really belongs under Charity Motivation Song (or, to the more cynically inclined, White Man's Burden). Compare and contrast with Santa Clausmas, Everyone Is Christian at Christmas, Did I Mention It's Christmas? and Twisted Christmas. Averted by The Grinch.

Do They Know It's Christmas Time? / int_160b4833	comment	In the show Clone High, Christmas had been replaced by the highly-secularized "Snowflake Day", with "traditional gifts" of hot sauces and a pirate mascot. Joan of Arc learns the True meaning of Snowflake Day from what she suspects was an angel Mandy Moore, but was really a homeless person whose buddies looted her house.

Kasumi comes in and asks if everyone is ready for a Christmas ham, leading Genma and Soun to cry, "Hooray for Christmas!" Similarly, in the original manga version of Dominion Tank Police, Al gives Leona a Christmas gift, which she gladly accepts, though she mentions if her devoutly Buddhist grandfather ever got wind of it, he'd smack her with his boukken.

Do They Know It's Christmas Time? / int_3c4ddc1e	comment	An Easter Sunday strip of For Better or for Worse from The '80s calls attention to this very trope. The Pattersons get dressed up and go to church, where young Michael is somewhat fascinated by the choir and stained glass windows and such. He asks his mother if the church is always open and she tells him yes, it's open every Sunday. In the final panel, to the amusement of the nearby preacher (and the chagrin of his parents), he innocently inquires, "Then how come we only come here twice a year?"

Do They Know It's Christmas Time? / int_426a7572	comment	Surprisingly pops up on a Christmas episode of Animaniacs, with Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (who, frankly, often come across as Ambiguously Jewish) time-traveling to Bethlehem in the year 6 B.C. to visit the Baby Jesus - and ultimately perform a 1940s swing version of "The Little Drummer Boy." Very strange, since in the episode where Wakko temporarily "died," he found himself banished to a very lonely, barren underworld unlike anything described in Christianity.

Following the advice of his preacher, he tries to see the Bang Baby as a person and realizes that she's just a scared, anguished, homeless girl who never meant to hurt anyone. It all follows up with Virgil, Richie, and their families attending a massive Christian/Jewish/Islamic celebration at the local church. Very touching, although the Hawkins family already was shown to put massive amounts of time and energy into community service and helping others, so yeah...

Do They Know It's Christmas Time? / int_bb3fde3d	comment	Done intentionally as a plot point on Danny Phantom. The villain Ghostwriter is out to get Danny on Christmas and intentionally drops him off in the Ghost Zone right in front of pretty much every foe he's ever faced at once. The bad guys slap a Santa hat on Danny's head and tell him they all put their differences aside on Christmas and have a party (Though remind him that come tomorrow, they'll all be out for his blood again). Danny defeats Ghostwriter by pointing out to the others that he broke the truce, sending all the bad guys to curb-stomp Ghostwriter for him.

Do They Know It's Christmas Time? / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park The show also subverted the trope in the "Red Sleigh Down" episode; Santa Claus is taken prisoner in Baghdad and Jesus leads a commando mission to rescue him. Santa makes it out alive, but Jesus is shot and killed during the escape, which prompts Santa to give a conclusory speech about how Jesus died for him. Also parodied in the first Halloween episode. At the end of said episode, Stan says he learned that, "Halloween isn't about costumes, or candy. It's about being good to one another, and giving and loving." He is then told by Kyle that it actually applies to Christmas and that Halloween is about, in fact, costumes and candy. Going even further back, "The Spirit of Christmas," the original South Park short, concludes with "Christmas is about presents."

George spends most of the book sulking because nobody will share her intense dislike for their tutor Mr Roland. She has never had a Christmas tree before, and looks forward to it, but it is spoilt for her because Mr Roland buys all the things that make it look beautiful. The others plead with her not to spoil Christmas; she compromises by being civil on the day itself, and stiffly thanks Mr Roland for his present to her, before reverting to her stubborn self the following day.

This concept was What Could Have Been; the episode broadcast instead on 24 December 1978 was the pilot for the second series.

Dexter argues with the usual (family and things like that)... surprisingly, Santa says "No, (it's about) presents." This is the same conclusion reached by the kids in "The Spirit of Christmas," as seen below.
