Maybe I woke up a month too early... the SpongeBob Christmas DVD was released a few days ago. Also, according to
this Nickelodeon press release, the SpongeBob Christmas special will air on December 2nd, 13th, and 25th.
There is going to be a chat/trivia session tomorrow at 8:00 PM EST, but I'm not going to be there, so it's not going to be for one of the Cat in the Hat hats... The Sponge Zone moderators will be there though, so it will be fun.
