Christmas soap cliches

[LIST][*]If 'Merry Christmas Everybody' by Slade is playing, someone's probably seconds away from being murdered or having a nasty accident.[/LIST] |

If the Christmas meal is delicious, someone will have a shocking announcement. However if everyone is happy, something will go wrong with the christmas meal.
If your baby is due around Christmas, it will either be born in Christmas related festivities or around the day itself. |

Characters only ever give one present, usually in a rectangular box - they never give the mountains of presents that most people give.

Relatives that do not live in the immediate vicinity never visit for Christmas.

A family secret will always come out - preferably over dinner.

The climax being during the line "It's only just begun".
THIS!*Dead body lying on the ground* "It's only just begunnnnnnnnnnn" *Wrecked car smoking by the side of the road, close up to unconscious passenger* "It's only just begunnnnnnnnnnn"

A 'community' Christmas tree will appear, fully-decorated without any knowledge from the local residents.
It never gets vandalised. |

S/Ls either start or reach a climax on Christmas day, it's never just a regular day when a storyline is still being built.

You can book a flight to literally anywhere at a moment's notice and be able to afford it no problem.

Someone always has to ruin christmas dinner.
Someone always gate crashes another's christmas dinner. No relatives come to spend the day if they have left the series. |

Saying 'This is going to be the best Christmas ever!' means you're definitely going to die/get dumped/find out your newborn baby was actually fathered by your arch-nemesis/get evicted/go bankrupt.

Someone will get married.
Someone will wreck their xmas dinner/forget to put the oven on so will go round to the neighbours who will magically have enough food to feed all the guests. |

Residents are either completely oblivious to mischief/scandal happening on the street or are so perceptive that even the smallest thing arouses their suspicions.
