Actually the 2001-2002 season of Squares had 2 Xmas themed weeks.

One was for Xmas itself, and the other a few weeks earlier for Call Me Claus week, promoting the TNT movie.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Merry was up and down and Xmas was across on the PYL board. XMas 1985 added some garland on the contestant island to the festivities.

100 Mexicanos Dijeron has its set decorated for Christmas.  Amongst the decorations I recall are gift boxes behind the face-off podium, and the area where the families are introduced has a Christmas setting instead of whatever it is they normally have.  I thought it looked quite nice.

I just looked at the photo on Brad's site, and viewed the clip there, too, and by golly, you're right!

The photo must've slipped my mind a little....

They had fake snow falling from the ceiling one year, didn't they? I vaguely remember seeing this on a USA episode.

The 12/25/84 episode shown this past Sunday had snow falling from the ceiling as Randy(not Mr. West) became the second highest winner in PYL history at the time($61,316)
