Couldn't help but weigh in on a couple more prompts.

Dean and Sam don't Like Christmas. This year, he and Sam are trying out solstice festivals of other faiths and other lands. Some of these might include:

The Butter sculpture festival of Bhuddist New year -- the boys work on a 30-foot high sculpture made entirely of Yak Butter.

Chaomos -- Pakistani Winter Solstice -- The boys may not sit in chairs until evening, when goat's blood is sprinkled on their faces as part of a purification ritual.

Dosmoche -- Tibetan celebration of the dying year. this festival centers around a magical pole covered with stars, crosses, and pentagrams made of string. Dancers dress up in hideous masks to frighten away the evil spirits for the coming year.

Feast of the Ass -- The jokes make themselves.

Night of the Radishes -- The boys must carve interestingly shaped, yam-sized radishes into Elaborate scenes.
