The Rev. Susan Sparks, a preacher, stand-up comic, and author of Laugh Your Way to Grace, served as the ecumenical guest chaplain for the week. She explained that humor is based on the juxtaposition of two unrelated ideas that clash, and therefore she chose as the theme for her daily sermons “Christmas in July”, Christmas and July being two things that don’t usually go together.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.
