Just been commentating on this over on my Blog:

A lot of the strips are Christmas set for a one-off tale - but i'm amazed at how so many of the tales dovetail into a Xmas ending.
Know its a long-shot, but anyone know if that was a deliberate way in adavance thing, or if there were rewrites to make it happen?
