Original Commentary

Yes, it is December 24th in the comic. Not much else to say - Terrence

I usually try to keep the time-line within the comic as much in time with real life, but with longer story arcs such as this, you kind of have to jump around and "time travel" in order to make things go well. I think this is the first time You Say it First has done something along this line. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
This is set an hour or so before the previous comic. Kimberly isn't going to bed right as Brisbane arrives. It makes narrative sense to show Brisbane arriving first, though. - Terrence
