Spoll away, if you like; I can't read any of this, because I haven't seen it and won't see it until tonight. Seems odd to have the show take place during the Christmas season, though - "Mad Men" seems to exist in a perpetual July-August period, with fall looming over everyone's lives.

That might be because the show airs during July and August. Just a theory.
