Stories[]

Guardian Snow Angel[]

It is snowing, but Bart has busted his sled. He wants to make money to buy a new one, but is too lazy to do chores. He walks by Moe's Tavern, where Barney clears the parking space by burping to melt the snow. Moe offers to pay Bart ten dollars to guard the cleared space so it doesn't get stolen, and Bart gladly accepts.

Agnes does steal the space, however, and doesn't listen to Bart when he explains that he is saving it for Moe. When Fat Tony approaches, Bart lies that he was actually saving it for Tony to scare Agnes away. Tony drives off and leaves a deck chair to save his parking space, with a "no trespassing or stealing" note.

Bart sits in the chair, rationalising that the note was probably for drivers only and he's only sitting in it until Moe gets back, so it's closer to borrowing than stealing. However, some bullies then pelt him with snowballs and tease him for using a beach chair when he's nowhere near the beach and it's winter. Then, Fat Tony returns and swipes the chair away.

Barney plows some snow nearby and leaves some in Moe's space, then a dump truck dumps more snow into the space. Bart decides that he will not dig the snow away but rather give Moe the space the dump truck left. He builds a snowman as a place marker, then enters the bar to use the bathroom, but when he arrives back, Mr. Burns has taken the space and destroyed the snowman.

Luckily, there is a temporary "no parking" rule, so Burns' car gets towed, but Moe does not pay up since he feels Bart didn't keep his promise since he promised to protect his space. He also asks Bart to take down the "tow-away" sign, but Bart is too sulky and declares he will wait until spring to do it.

It's Snow Game![]

Bart has made many snowmen that look like Principal Skinner. Lisa doesn't understand why, since Bart is angry at Skinner for giving him a month's detention for starting a food fight.

Bart then makes a huge snowball and bowls the Skinner snowmen over, punning on the expression "revenge served cold".

Grampa's Christmas Origins: Christmas Cards[]

Bart and Lisa are about to mail some Christmas cards, but Grampa, who is sitting in the mailbox, doesn't let them due to thinking the cards represent "evil". He then begins telling a story, which he claims is the origin of Christmas cards.

The story takes place in the past, where "Burnseneezer Scrooge" tells Bob Cratchit (who resembles Sideshow Bob) that he must return to work early the next morning to compensate for leaving early for Christmas. Bob then gives Burnseneezer a Christmas card from his son "Gimpy Tom", because he couldn't afford a gift.

Burnseneezer decides greeting cards are profitable, so decides to go into the Christmas card business with his assistant "Smarmley" (a Smithers lookalike). A year later, Smarmley dies of ink poisoning and Bob gets fired for not completing Boxing Day cards on time, so Burnseneezer enslaves some orphaned kids (who resemble Nelson, Milhouse, Sherri, Terri, and Martin).

In reality, Grampa tells Bart and Lisa to wish their relatives merry Christmas in person, but they give him a card anyway. Despite his story, Grampa eagerly accepts the card, but cannot see to read it. Lisa considers telling Homer and Marge that Grampa is in the mailbox, but Bart points out that the mailman is going to come.

The Iceman Cometh[]

Museum workers are taking away a caveman exhibit to make room for a diorama, and they hit a bump, resulting in a caveman dummy falling into a lake. It is snowing, so Bart wants to sled, but his sled is still broken. He tries to build a new one, but Lisa points out that Bart doesn't know how to build anything.

He tries, but Lisa is proved correct, so Bart asks Homer to build him a sled. Homer cannot build anything either, but after failing to build Bart a sled, he steals him one from Rod and Todd. Lisa points out that the sled belongs to the Flanders boys, not him, but Bart spray paints "El Barto" on it and takes it to the park.

There, Milhouse and Martin are being snowballed by the bullies, so Bart hides until they leave. Milhouse and Martin push Bart down the hill, with Bart wanting to take all the turns on the sled, but then he notices the caveman mannequin, which is now frozen in the lake. The three boys look it over and eventually mistake it for a real caveman.

They decide to keep their "discovery" secret until they know what to do, so they cover it with leaves, but then the bullies notice. They approach and also see the caveman dummy and mistake it for a real, dead man. Upon hearing it's a caveman, they want to display it and charge money, but Martin insists it must go to the museum.

Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney leave to get tools to dig the "caveman" out, Bart and Milhouse leave to tell people, and Martin and Nelson stay behind to guard the "caveman". Bart and Milhouse call the museum and the press, who then arrive just before Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney. The museum man explains that the "caveman" is only a mannequin, but they will be rewarded. The bullies demand they be given the reward, so they are, but are dismayed when it turns out to be passes for the new exhibit (since they hate "culture"). The other three boys laugh at them, seeing it as "divine justice".

Grampa's Christmas Origins: Christmas Carols[]

Bart and Lisa are carolling, but Bart is sick of it. Lisa then starts to sing to Grampa, but he tells her and Bart to sing their "critter-catching lullabies" someplace else. She asks him what he means, and he beings telling a story which he says is how carolling started.

The story takes place during the Black Death, and four men who resemble Skinner, Homer, Apu, and Barney are wassailing but by speaking instead of singing. Then, they hear an old woman who resembles the Crazy Cat Lady singing to some rats, which attracts them. The Skinner lookalike gets the idea of singing their poem to the tune of the woman's song, which the men do, but it backfires when the rats run up to them.

Luckily, a Wiggum lookalike and his two lackeys thank the singers and bundle up the rats. He decides to have the quartet sing more songs so that they can take all the rats away and end the Black Death. Grampa ends the story by saying that the four men were successful, writing more carols by plagiarising melodies, but unfortunately died of the Black Death later. He concludes that only "trained music plagiarists" should carol.

Then, Rev. Lovejoy reveals that Grampa broke into his house and has Bart and Lisa lead him away. Grampa declares that this will be the best Christmas ever, since he gets to "help [Bart and Lisa] lure more rodents to their doom".

Billion Dollar Butt-Ski[]

While Homer, Marge, and Bart are driving to the park, the latter sees the sled he wants for sale. He asks Homer to buy it, but Homer insists that Bart use Grampa's old sled instead.

When they get to the park, where Kent Brockman is filming the sledding as part of a "hackneyed fluff piece", Marge sees the kids sledding and notes that it's a shame their sleds are so heavy. Homer then gets an idea and rushes to the sports store to buy a flying disk and jockstrap. He runs home, puts them together, and makes what he calls a "butt-ski", explaining that it straps to the wearer's butt as they slide, so they needn't carry a heavy sled.

He makes Bart test it, but he cannot steer and ends up with snow on the back of his pants. That night, Homer goes to Moe's Tavern and attempts to improve his butt-ski, but then when he admits as such to Moe, Barney, Lenny, and Carl, he fears his idea will be stolen and tells them to keep it secret. On his way home, Homer sees a shadowed person following him, making him even more nervous.

He tries to run away, but runs into the man, who calls himself Bartholomew Blammo, the CEO of Blammo Toys (the company that produces Bart's coveted sled). He claims he heard on the news that Homer had an idea for a winter toy and offers to pay him for it, but Homer refuses.

Two days later, he has patented the butt-ski, but then sees a lot of kids at the park on butt-skis. Bart, meanwhile, is on the sled he wants, revealing that he told Blammo about the invention in exchange for the sled. Homer strangles Bart and tells him that he will have to push him up the hill on the sled.

Grampa's Christmas Origins: Christmas Cookies[]

As Bart and Lisa are leaving out Santa's cookies, Grampa (who is giving no reason for why he is visiting) decides to tell them about how Christmas cookies allegedly began.

In the story, it is Christmas Eve at an olden-time orphanage, and an orphan boy resembling Milhouse offers Santa candy cane flambe in hopes of getting the best toy. Four more boys (who resemble Jimbo, Kearney, Dolph, and Nelson) mock him, but at night, the Milhouse lookalike gives the flambe to Santa (who resembles Grampa) in person, which he enjoys at first, but then burns his mouth on it.

The Dolph lookalike pours milk into Santa's mouth, then the Nelson lookalike offers a cookie. Santa decides to reward all the boys except the Milhouse lookalike with the best toys and new families. Then, by next Christmas, the idea of leaving cookies for Santa had caught on.

Grampa finishes the story by saying that Santa died of obesity from a "cookie bender", much to the chagrin of Bart and Lisa, who are sick of Grampa's morbid Christmas stories.

There's No Such Thing as Free Shipping[]

Kent Brockman reports a mob at the shopping mall. At Moe's Tavern, Lenny notes that Homer isn't part of the mob and is oddly serene in general, and Homer explains that he did his shopping online. Unfortunately, at the warehouse, Gil spills soda on his computer, breaking his assembly line down.

This results in Homer getting the wrong presents, and he dramatically declares that his Christmas is ruined, but Marge assures him that it's the thought which counts. Homer is not satisfied with this, so Lisa decides to find whoever got their presents and swap them back.

However, when they discover that the toy car meant for Bart got delivered to the Hibberts, they decide to let them keep it, since Dr. Hibbert's son is enjoying his new toy. They do the same with the encyclopedias meant for Lisa (since Cletus's children are having fun building forts with them), the chew sticks meant for Santa's Little Helper (since Ralph is using them to curb his habit of chewing on furniture), and the neck pillow meant for Marge (since Gil has mistaken it for a gift from an admirer).

Back at home, Homer apologises for spoiling his family's Christmas, but they are happy anyway since Homer indirectly made the others happy. Then, Homer reveals that Rainer Wolfcastle got a toaster oven meant for Grampa, and they wrongly got sent the keys to Rainier's new speedboat.

Trivia[]

  • It is not revealed what Homer bought online for Maggie or Snowball II, nor is it revealed who ended up with their gifts. However, the Simpsons must have let them keep them, since they ended up with nothing.
