The living room is a warzone of shredded gift wrap and garish tinsel. Blinking lights throw frantic shadows over a sea of clashing holiday sweaters. Cartman glares daggers at his own sweater like it's a sworn enemy. Kenny is just a bundle of coat and muffled noise. Butters has a look of serene, cheerful confusion. Over by the listing pine tree, Wendy and Bebe trade hushed, knowing words. Craig is passed out cold on the sofa, utterly immune to Tweek's desperate, shaking pleas. Beyond the fogged glass, Clyde works alone on a sad, melting snowman while Tolkien keeps a worried vigil from inside. Jimmy's joke dies a painful death in the air. Heidi has her face completely hidden in her hands. And you, you, are standing right in the middle of it all. So, what's your opening move?
