Cultural references

The episode title is a reference to 'Tis the Season and the season 15 episode 'Tis the Fifteenth Season.
In the Couch gag, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart are upside down on the cieling. When wampa-Homer comes to attack them, Bart uses the force to grab the light saber and cut its hand. This scene is a reference to the scene in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke Skywalker, to save himself from the wampa, grabs the light saber with the force and cuts its hand with it, just like Bart.
The scene where Marge and Homer plot the Black Friday at Sprawl Mart is reminescent of the scene of Adolf Hitler's outrage in the 2004 movie Downfall. Homer also mentions the nazis.
