Simpsons Christmas Stories

Homer's Paternity Coot ►

Trivia

• In Tahiti, there is a girl resembling Lisa, Jr. from Missionary: Impossible.
• The voice of Santa Claus in Grampa's story greatly resembles the voice of Robot Santa from Matt Groening's other animated show Futurama.
• This marks the 365th episode, making it able for a different episode to air every day of the year (except in leap years, though the next episode -- "Homer's Paternity Coot" -- can be added for leap years).
• When we see Reverend Lovejoy talk about "so many plastic Christmases ruined", one of the figures lying on the table is Mr. Burns.
• This is one of the few episodes where there are three mini-stories, the most common ones being the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes.
• 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 the spoof of Jesus's birth, the reference to Grampa Simpson's brother becoming a polygamist, and Moe's suicide attempts being the reason why this episode has a parental advisory warning). (Originally scheduled to air May 9th 2006 on Network Ten, but was pre-empted and replaced with "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation")
