Simpsons Christmas Stories |

Trivia[]
- This is the 365th episode. With this episode, it's now possible for viewers to watch one episode a day for a year without repeating (except leap years, though the next episode -- "Homer's Paternity Coot" -- can be added for leap years or for regular years if one were to skip over the banned season three episode "Stark Raving Dad").
- This is the fourth episode of The Simpsons to date to air with a parental advisory warning before the episode in Australia for "adult themes" (most likely because of the spoof of Jesus's birth [which would have offended Christian audiences], the reference to Grampa Simpson's brother becoming a polygamist, and Moe's suicide attempts).
- This episode was originally scheduled to air on Australia's Network Ten on May 9th, 2006, but was replaced with the season fourteen episode "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation".
- Lisa Jr. makes a silent cameo in the second act meaning that she (along with Homer and the people of Micronesia) survived.
Cultural References[]
- Homer amuses Bart with Three Stooges gags.
- Homer ends his Christmas sermon with a terrible imitation of Paul Harvey.
- Krusty's sidekick in 1964 bears a striking resemblance to Woody Allen, though his hairdo is very much like Sideshow Mel's.
