The episode begins as [[Homer]] hastily drives Marge and [[Maggie]], in the family car, through snow covered streets. They're late for Bart and [[Lisa]]'s Christmas pageant at [[Springfield Elementary School|school]]. Once there, Homer and Marge stumble through a full audience to find their seats; everyone looks on stage at the pageant which already began. Homer and Marge sit down just in time to see [[Principal Skinner]] introduce the second grade. They do a presentation of different [[Santa Claus]]es from around the world, and Lisa steals the show as Tawanga, the Santa Claus of the South Seas. Cut to Skinner introducing the [[Fourth Grade]] singing a medley of Christmas carols. As they all sing "[[Jingle Bells]]", Bart can be heard singing much different words to the song, and he's quickly yanked from the performance. The pageant continues on, as a bored Homer wonders aloud, "How many grades does this school have?" Afterwards, at the [[742 Evergreen Terrace|Simpson home]], Marge writes a letter for the Simpson family Christmas cards, as Homer gets out Christmas decorations, and Bart and Lisa write their Christmas wish lists. In the letter, Marge describes how everyone's doing and, as she reads the letter in her head, the camera pans around to the different family members as she mentions their names. Bart and Lisa show Marge their wish lists; Marge is upset when Lisa once again asks for a pony for Christmas, and Bart asks for a tattoo. Just then Marge's sister, [[Patty]], calls; a grumbling Homer hands the phone to Marge, and the two sisters discuss their plans for getting together on Christmas Eve. Cut to Homer outside putting the finishing touches on the Christmas lights on the roof, as the kids watch from the sidewalk. After Homer falls from the roof, he calls out to Marge to plug the lights in. Only 5 lights light up and 1 burns out, and Homer admires his handy work, while the kids are less than impressed. [[Ned Flanders]] is also outside and, ready to plug in his lights for the first time, he calls out to Homer and tells him to check it out. As he plugs the lights in, his entire house lights up, including a talking Santa Claus on the roof. The lights illuminate everyone's face and, much to Homer's dismay, his kids are very impressed at Ned's display of lights. | The episode begins as [[Homer]] hastily drives Marge and [[Maggie]], in the family car, through snow covered streets.

Homer sighs as he remembers they still have the big jar full of money for Christmas presents.

She quickly pulls him out of the chair and takes him to a [[Dr. Zitsofsky Dermatology Clinic|tattoo removal clinic]]. The tattoo removal's expensive and requires a full cash payment up front. Marge has to use all of the Christmas money for Bart's tattoo removal, but she sighs when she remembers they can use still Homer's Christmas bonus instead. Back at home, Marge tells Homer what happened and Homer freaks out. She tells him to calm down, and they will just have to stretch his Christmas bonus a little further this year. Homer fakes relief when Marge mentions his bonus, tells everyone this will be the best Christmas ever, and steps outside for a walk. Once outside, he looks up at his poorly decorated house and at Flanders' masterpiece. A depressed Homer hangs his head in despair. |

Synopsis[edit]
- "It's a not-so-merry Christmas for the Simpsons, when Mr. Burns decides to cut the Christmas bonuses, and Marge has to spend the family's Christmas savings to erase a tattoo Bart thought will make a great Christmas present. In order to hide the fact he didn't get the bonus, Homer takes a second job as a mall Santa."
Plot[edit]
The episode begins as Homer hastily drives Marge and Maggie, in the family car, through snow covered streets. They're late for Bart and Lisa's Christmas pageant at school. Once there, Homer and Marge stumble through a full audience to find their seats; everyone looks on stage at the pageant which already began. Homer and Marge sit down just in time to see Principal Skinner introduce the second grade. They do a presentation of different Santa Clauses from around the world, and Lisa steals the show as Tawanga, the Santa Claus of the South Seas. Cut to Skinner introducing the Fourth Grade singing a medley of Christmas carols. As they all sing "Jingle Bells", Bart can be heard singing much different words to the song, and he's quickly yanked from the performance. The pageant continues on, as a bored Homer wonders aloud, "How many grades does this school have?" Afterwards, at the Simpson home, Marge writes a letter for the Simpson family Christmas cards, as Homer gets out Christmas decorations, and Bart and Lisa write their Christmas wish lists. In the letter, Marge describes how everyone's doing and, as she reads the letter in her head, the camera pans around to the different family members as she mentions their names. Bart and Lisa show Marge their wish lists; Marge is upset when Lisa once again asks for a pony for Christmas, and Bart asks for a tattoo. Just then Marge's sister, Patty, calls; a grumbling Homer hands the phone to Marge, and the two sisters discuss their plans for getting together on Christmas Eve. Cut to Homer outside putting the finishing touches on the Christmas lights on the roof, as the kids watch from the sidewalk. After Homer falls from the roof, he calls out to Marge to plug the lights in. Only 5 lights light up and 1 burns out, and Homer admires his handy work, while the kids are less than impressed. Ned Flanders is also outside and, ready to plug in his lights for the first time, he calls out to Homer and tells him to check it out. As he plugs the lights in, his entire house lights up, including a talking Santa Claus on the roof. The lights illuminate everyone's face and, much to Homer's dismay, his kids are very impressed at Ned's display of lights.
At breakfast the next morning, Marge tells the kids to grab their money so they can go Christmas shopping at the mall. As the excited kids run off to get their money, Homer asks Marge where she is keeping the Christmas savings. She makes him turn around, and she pulls a big jar of money out of her hair. Homer's impressed at the amount of money they have for Christmas this year. Later at the mall, as Marge, Lisa and Maggie look at gifts together, Bart's by himself, and comes across a tattoo parlor. In the window, he sees a tattoo of a heart with the word "mother" written across it. He daydreams Marge will have a positive reaction to his getting a tattoo, so he runs inside the parlor, lies to the tattoo artist about his age, and hops into the chair. Meanwhile, at the nuclear power plant, Mr. Burns announces over the loud speaker there won't be any Christmas bonuses this year for unskilled workers; this includes Homer. Homer sighs as he remembers they still have the big jar full of money for Christmas presents. Back at the mall, Marge hears Bart's yells of pain inside the tattoo parlor, and she quickly runs inside to see Bart with the heart tattoo halfway finished on his arm. She quickly pulls him out of the chair and takes him to a tattoo removal clinic. The tattoo removal's expensive and requires a full cash payment up front. Marge has to use all of the Christmas money for Bart's tattoo removal, but she sighs when she remembers they can use still Homer's Christmas bonus instead. Back at home, Marge tells Homer what happened and Homer freaks out. She tells him to calm down, and they will just have to stretch his Christmas bonus a little further this year. Homer fakes relief when Marge mentions his bonus, tells everyone this will be the best Christmas ever, and steps outside for a walk. Once outside, he looks up at his poorly decorated house and at Flanders' masterpiece. A depressed Homer hangs his head in despair.
That night in bed, Marge senses something's amiss with Homer, and she asks what's wrong. Homer almost tells her the truth about his Christmas bonus, but quickly backpedals and instead offers to do the Christmas shopping so she doesn't have to. Marge agrees, seems satisfied there's nothing wrong, and they both go to bed. The next day, Homer does some Christmas shopping alone at a cheap thrift store. He purchases pantyhose for Marge, pads of paper for Bart, and a squeaky chew toy for Maggie. On his way out the door with his bag of presents, Homer accidentally crashes into Ned who has an armful of fancily wrapped packages. All of the presents are spilled onto the ground, and, as Homer picks the few he purchased and sees how many Ned bought, he becomes sad and depressed and heads over to Moe's Tavern. At Moe's, Homer drinks a beer alone, when a cheerful Barney walks in wearing a Santa Claus suit. Barney explains he's in a good mood because he has extra money from working a part-time job acting as Santa Claus at the mall. Homer suddenly has an idea. Cut to the personnel office in the mall, as Homer fills out an application and is interviewed to be a mall Santa. After reviewing Homer's application, and interviewing him, the personnel director welcomes Homer aboard and sends him to mall Santa training. A montage of Homer enduring Santa training ensues.
Homer finally makes it home late at night, and a worried Marge wants to know where he was. Homer ignores her and heads upstairs, but Marge tells him her sisters are here, and he needs to visit with them. As Homer talks with Patty and Selma, they comment on the fact the Simpsons don't have a Christmas tree up yet. Homer tells them he was just on his way to get one, and he angrily hurries out the door. In the car, Homer drives past several expensive Christmas tree lots, finally stops at a private tree farm, and uses a chain saw to steal a nice Christmas tree for the family. Back at home, Homer stands up the tree, and everyone's impressed except Patty and Selma. On Christmas Eve at the mall, Homer works as Santa Claus, while children wait in line to sit on his lap. From a distance, Bart and Milhouse watch the kids line up to sit on Santa's lap, and they comment on how they can't believe these kids are falling for the fake Santa bit. Milhouse dares Bart to yank off Santa's beard, and Bart agrees. Bart jumps in line and finally gets his turn on Santa's lap. Not knowing Santa's really Homer, Bart yanks off his beard. Bart's shocked at what he uncovered, and an angry Homer escorts Bart inside Santa's workshop to speak with him in private. Homer explains the situation to Bart, who understands and feels bad for yanking off Homer's beard. At the end of Homer's shift, Bart goes with Homer as he picks up his check. Homer's surprised to learn he only made 13 dollars. When he questions the cashier, she explains the majority of his check went to pay for the Santa suit, social security, etc. While a depressed Homer sits down to figure out what to do with 13 dollars, an excited Barney tells Homer he's going to the dog track to place a bet with his 13 dollars. He invites Homer to come along with him. Homer's reluctant but Bart convinces him to go, citing this may be their only chance to save the Simpson family Christmas.
Back at the Simpson home, everyone, including Patty, Selma and Grampa Simpson, wait for Homer and Bart to come home. Cut to the dog track, where Barney gives Homer a tip on a dog named Whirlwind. After seeing what Whirlwind looks like, Homer's reluctant to bet on him. Just then an announcement plays over the P.A. system, announcing a dog named Santa's Little Helper will be replacing another dog in the fourth race. Homer senses the announcement's an omen, and decides to bet on him even though Bart recommends not to. Despite the fact the odds are 99 to 1, Homer puts down all 13 dollars on Santa's Little Helper. Meanwhile at home, Patty and Selma talk bad about Homer, while everyone else still waits for him and Bart. Back at the track, Homer and Bart anxiously await the running of the fourth race. As the race begins, Homer and Bart cheer on Santa's Little Helper, but Whirlwind, Barney's pick, is out to an early lead with Santa's Little Helper bringing up the rear. Homer and Bart quickly realize their chances at winning any money are dashed, because Santa's Little Helper doesn't even finish the race. Cut to Homer and Bart in the parking lot of the dog track, looking for discarded betting slips hoping to find someone threw away a winner. Barney drives by in a convertible with a woman in the passenger seat, and gloats to Bart and Homer about his pick for the race: Whirlwind. A dejected Bart and Homer head back to their car, when, off in the distance, they see a racing dog owner yelling and chasing Santa's Little Helper for losing once again. Santa's Little Helper jumps up into Homer's arms. Bart asks Homer if they can keep the dog. Homer, reluctant at first, quickly warms up to the dog and decides to take him home. Cut back to the Simpson home, where everyone still awaits Bart and Homer's return. Suddenly, a sad looking Homer enters and starts to confess to everyone about the fact he didn't receive his Christmas bonus, and apologizes for the lack of presents; when Bart bursts in, along with a barking Santa's Little Helper. Everyone falls in love with the dog, and Homer realizes in the end, he did a good job providing gifts at Christmas.
Production[edit]
- See also: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire/Music.
Fox was very nervous about the show because they were unsure they could sustain the audience's attention for the duration of the episode. In the end, they gambled by asking FOX for 13 full-length episodes. The series was originally planned to premiere in the fall of 1989, but due to major problems with the animation of "Some Enchanted Evening" (the first Simpsons episode produced), the series instead began on December 17, 1989 with this episode. "Some Enchanted Evening" instead aired as the season finale.
The episode, being the first to air, lacked the now famous opening sequence later added in the second episode when Groening thought of the idea of a longer opening sequence resulting in less animation.
The "Santas of many lands" portion of the Christmas pageant is based on Matt Groening's experience in the second grade when he did a report on Christmas in Russia. Groening also used that reference in his strip "Life in Hell" when he spoofed himself as a young man, being told it is too bad his grandmother is from Russia, because Christmas is against the law there. Also, Matt Groening claims this episode has been incorrectly credited with creating the "alternate version" of Jingle Bells.
David Silverman directed this episode, although Rich Moore storyboarded it and designed Flanders. Several of the scenes were laid out by Eric Stefani, brother of Gwen Stefani. In this episode, Barney had yellow hair which was the same color as his skin, but that was later dropped because of the belief that only the Simpson family should have such hair.
The original premise of this episode was that Homer was worried that Marge was going to get drunk at a party and get him in trouble at the office.[1]
First draft[2]
Release[edit]
This episode was released on VHS by FOX Home Video in 1991. The VHS release was titled "The Simpsons Christmas Special". It was later released on VHS and DVD in Christmas with the Simpsons in 2001, and then eventually released in 2001 in the season One boxset.
Reception[edit]
"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program in the 42nd Primetime Emmy Awards. However, it lost to "Life on the Fast Lane".[3] It was also nominated for an award in "Outstanding Editing for a Miniseries or Special", but lost to Caroline?[4]
