Plot
Bart and Lisa leave milk and cookies for Santa, but meet Grampa in the living room. He talks about how the tradition started. An orphan kid gave Santa a hot cake to get the best gift as a bribe. The cake was so hot that Santa burned himself and he did not get any presents, but his friends received them. The incident spread, and the next year everyone begins making cakes for Santa, which lead to the cookie prohibition of 1929-1987. Grampa explains that it shows how evil orphans are. Bart and Lisa go away and Lisa is tired of the stories Grampa tells and Bart reminds her that there will be more holidays soon.
