Christmas Remarketing is one of Julian's business schemes put into effect during the December holiday season in which he attempts his meaning at Christmas: money. The operation usually entails several of the park residents stealing lights, presents and trees from the surrounding areas. A decorating contest that Julian judges is also a part of the operation where the declared winner wins a prize that Julian had in storage. The operation typically comes to it's yearly end after Julian judges the park's decorating contest after midnight mass has taken place.
The Operation[]
Christmas Remarketing is an annual operation that takes place during the December holiday season in which Julian organizes a company with employees who engage in rampant theft. Decorative lights are stolen from nearby areas such as the Scottsdale Subdivision and sold within the park in connection with a decorating contest Julian holds where the winner will gain a prize, such as a big screen TV. It has been said by Sarah the winner of the contest is actually the person that buys the most lights from Julian. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself") Christmas trees are stolen from various lots near the trailer park and are often found with their tags still on them and are sold to park residents. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself") The operation also entails the employees breaking into various cars at the mall and stealing the presents inside, poor excuses are often used if discovered by witnesses. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself") One of the final steps in the operation is Julian's judging of the decorating contest which takes place after midnight mass for the participants. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself")
Limits[]
Despite the fact that Julian and whoever is involved in the operation openly steal presents from the mall, trees from nearby lots and lights from various surrounding areas, Julian actually has a few rules in place. One such rule is that Children's toys and presents are off limits, and collection of such items will often result in the ire of Julian who berates the individual responsible for the collection. Other rules and conditions include any damage to the company car being repaired and any personal shopping being done on an "employees" own time. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself") Another, more public rule is that lights for the decorating contest must be brought from Julian himself or the entry will not qualify. ("Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself")

Background[]
While many people nonetheless take part in the operation, there seems to be a shared, low regard for it amongst the employees and park residents. Ricky seems to express disdain for the operation in it's entirety and Bubbles bemoans Ricky and Julian for the operation, expressing that Julian is "really greasy" when he runs the operation.
