Transcript:
Calvin: When are we going to get a Christmas tree? Dad: Oh, I dunno. Probably a little after New Year's. Calvin: After New Year?? Dad: Sure. We can just go up the street and pick from the neighbors' driveways. Calvin: What?! Dad: Sometimes there's still tinsel on the tree too, so you don't even have to decorate it! We'll save time and money! Mom: Ok. What did your dad tell you this time?

Basically the successor to the strip from December 20, 1987, with the Dad teasing Calvin about acting like Christmas trees aren’t a big deal.
And hey, it can then be a Valentine’s tree!
