Title/header caption: SAVINGS TIP: RE-USE HALLOWEEN GAMES FOR CHRISTMAS
Single panel:
A Santa Claus figure (seen at the left edge in a red suit) addresses a group of children at a table.
Santa: "AND THIS BUCKET IS FILLED WITH ELF EYEBALLS! HO HO HO!"
The children look on with various expressions. On the table sit several bins/buckets, each labeled, that are repurposed Halloween 'guess what you're touching' game containers now relabeled for Christmas:
Label on one bin: "AIR"
Label on another bin: "EYES"
Label on another bin: "BRAINS"
Label on another bin: "SNOT"
Votey:
A roughly sketched figure (drawn in a loose, scribbly style suggesting Jesus Christ) is addressed by an off-panel speaker.
Off-panel speaker (speech bubble): "THE BLOOD OF CHRIST WAS TOO MUCH, WASN'T IT? IT'S OKAY, YOU CAN TELL ME."

A single-panel SMBC comic with the header 'Savings tip: Re-use Halloween games for Christmas.' A Santa Claus in a red suit stands at the left, gesturing to a group of children seated at a table. Santa says, 'And this bucket is filled with elf eyeballs! Ho ho ho!' On the table are several labeled bins, clearly recycled from a Halloween 'feel the gross thing' game, their labels still reading 'AIR,' 'EYES,' 'BRAINS,' and 'SNOT.' The joke is that the spooky sensory game has been cheaply rebranded for Christmas. Votey (bonus panel): a loose, scribbly drawing of a robed figure suggesting Jesus, with an off-panel voice in a speech bubble saying, 'The blood of Christ was too much, wasn't it? It's okay, you can tell me.'
