Archie #615

Archie Andrews loves Christmas. The only problem is, is that it tends to sneak up on him. Every year he wakes up in a panic on Christmas Eve. He rushes about buying last minute presents, putting up Christmas decorations and generally running amok. It’s become a holiday tradition around Riverdale. Everyone expects to see Archie go through his Christmas Eve convulsions.

One of Santa’s helpers, Jingles, sees Archie’s dilemma and in a misguided attempt to help him sneaks into Santa’s time-manipulation room and causes Christmas Eve to repeat itself so Archie has more time.

Unfortunately he leaves the door open and the controls freeze causing Christmas Eve to repeat itself over and over and over and over again. Archie is the only one who knows what’s happening and after a few weeks of Christmas Eves his holiday spirit turns to “bah, humbug!”

But, as with all things Christmas the true spirit of the holiday prevails and Archie ‘warms up’ to Christmas resulting in the time-manipulating controls to unfreeze and setting things aright.


Archie #615 from Archie Comics is a wonderful tale of Christmas that demonstrates the ‘true’ meaning of Christmas.
