Calvin doesn’t know what “spontaneous” measn, does he? For that matter, he doesn’t seem to know what “good will” means either...He has “act” covered pretty well though… :-)
I’m looking into the future Calvin. Aha, I see two lumps of coal in your stocking! And I don’t think they are ordinary coal. Yes, I now see you picking one up and it instantly bursts into flame! Burnt offering Calvin. Try the other one. That’s the exploding one!
This reminds me of the time when I was about four years old and my father had done some carpentry work on the King Ranch in Texas. The foreman had invited my father to bring his family (us) to the big spring round-up. When we got there the calves were being ear-notched, branded and the males were castrated. The testicles were tossed onto a fire and later, after they had been roasted they were eaten. The cowboys called them “mountain oysters” and loved them.I say to each his own and there’s no explaining taste.
Rocky Mountain Oysters they have a big bash just out of Missoula MT every year with this being the main dish. Thousands come to it. Testical Festiville look it up on Google
Calvin’s mom sure has the measure of him. Now maybe she could give him a large bowl of sugar frosted Chocolate Bombs in the spirit of Christmas. BTW, putting mayonaise on any of the bitter vegetables like broccoli and brussels sprouts sure makes ‘em taste better. Try it, you’ll see….

Well, we can at least give Calvin brownie points for effort.

Maybe Calvin really likes the “raw maggots”, but pretends for Santa that he doesn’t so it is a good deed to eat them?

I’m sure maggots must be better than Brussels sprouts! By the way. Did you hear about the two maggots that fell in love in dead Earnest?
