Christmas time is game time. Period. And what do people typically do? They decorate the Christmas tree, invite the family, prepare the roast, welcome the guests, feed and entertain everyone, only to then sneak away unnoticed.

What's more enjoyable than guiding Roger Wilco – janitor of everybody's dreams – through one, two, or even all six of his adventures? Hanging out with the family on the couch? Hmmmmmm.
