Starting as a cult British comedy series, people most commonly associate 'The Office' with its American counterpart. Running from 2005 - 2013, over nine seasons of 201 episodes, the American 'The Office's' popularity eventually surpassed that of the original mockumentary sitcom.

During the course of 'The Office', seven Christmas episodes were released, featuring everything from a botched Secret Santa to a forgotten Christmas party, plenty of Christmas pranks, high jinks, and much more.

They are a warm reminder of the festive times and bring together a vibe of the familial ceremony. Whether you're new to 'The Office' or know it inside out, now is the time to get into the Christmas spirit with our favorite 'The Office' Christmas quotes.

Since its publication in 1843, Tiny Tim has been a favorite character from the Charles Dickens classic Christmas tale 'A Christmas Carol'.

Tiny Tim is a minor yet significant character in 'A Christmas Carol' who symbolizes the plight of the poor, innocence in a corrupt world and Ebenezer Scrooge's own conscience.

For Christians, Advent means the arrival of a notable person or thing, namely the arrival of Jesus Christ. Despite its uncertain origins, the Advent season begins four weeks before Christmas.

It is marked by preparation and prayer for the birth of Jesus Christ. On the first Sunday of Advent, the church will begin lighting four candles that encircle the white Christ candle.

The candles represent happiness, optimism, peace, and love. The days leading up to Christmas are filled with joyful expectancy for the season's gifts. Advent is, therefore, a time of longing and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and also for Christ's return at the Second Coming.

Many Christian denominations observe Advent, including the Catholic, Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Reformed traditions. Holidays are celebrated in a variety of ways by people all around the globe.

The Grinch is one of the most iconic fictional characters. Originally featured in a poem by Dr. Seuss, our favorite Christmas thief is predominantly associated with Jim Carrey's outlandish performance.

However, there are countless adaptations and dramatizations inspired by Dr. Seuss' 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', with more being produced each year. The enduring popularity of 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', is perhaps thanks to its central moral: Christmas is not about presents, but spending time with those you love.

Dr. Seuss clearly illustrates this as the Whos don't let The Grinch ruin Christmas and celebrate it despite their stolen gifts.

This leads to the Grinch's revelation that "What if Christmas... doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"
