## Resource

All rise. It’s that time of year again—the most important proceeding on the Christmas Cousins calendar: The Trial of Cousin Seth. After completing Year Three of his journey to embrace Christmas—and, more ambitiously, all seasons—the question now stands before the court: did he do enough? Last year, Seth earned a hard-fought promotion from Seasonal Sophomore to Jolly Junior . But this year, the stakes are higher. Will he rise to the rank of Santa Senior ? Or will the court find cause for demotion… back to Jolly Junior, Seasonal Sophomore, Festive Freshman—or, in the most extreme scenario, a full reset to Kringle Kindergarten ? To ensure a fair and balanced hearing, we’ve assembled a truly formidable bench: Judge Bran (returning), of Deck The Hallmark and Gilmore the Merrier Supreme Court Justice Dan , brought in to maintain order should things spiral (they will) Representing the case: Prosecutor: Joe the Christmas Aficionado Defense Counsel: Festive Cousin Bob of Festive Four Film Fans...a last minute no-show...hmmm??? Voice of the People / Bailiff: Cousin Lee, King of All Superfans Plus, a surprise witness!!! And at the center of it all… the defendant himself: Cousin Seth . Evidence will be presented. Arguments will be made. Emotions may run high. The Christmas spirit will be tested. This isn’t just an episode—it’s a verdict. And it’s one you won’t want to miss.
