Pratchett in absolute peak form with "Monstrous Regiment." Three-Bits on the Installment Plan. Blouse being one of the greatest non-camel mathematical minds on the Disk. The knee to the Royal Prerogative. Jackrum's appeal to Froc. Just a whole book full of perfect bits.

The problem is that all the good Christmas songs are too religious for public spaces (EXCEPT for the Thurl Ravenscroft "You're A Mean One, Mister Grinch," which is a masterpiece any time of the year).

I've run 6th and 7th, enjoy the streamlining. Easy to reskin, too, if that's your bag.
If you like making your own paper props, Propnomicon and HPLHS have a number of good resources.
