The Simpsons: Christmas / Bart Wars

Nine animated escapades with the yellow-skinned inhabitants of Springfield. In ‘Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire’ (1989) Homer manages to fail as a department store Santa but comes up trumps with a Christmas gift for all the family. In ‘Mr Plow’ (1992) Homer’s new snow-plow business has a rival and it is run by his best friend Barney. In ‘Miracle on Evergreen Terrace’ (1997) Bart lies about the burning down of the family’s Christmas tree. ‘Grift of the Magi’ (1999) sees Bart wheelchair-bound and the school having to raise money to build a ramp. Whilst in ‘She of Little Faith’ (2001) father and son Simpson accidentally burn down the local church and Lisa becomes a Buddhist when the church sells advertising space in a bid to raise money for the re-build. In ‘Mayored to the Mob’, Homer becomes Mayor Quimby’s personal bodyguard after saving him from rioting sci-fi fans. ‘Dog of Death’ sees Santa’s Little Helper set to expire unless the Simpsons can find the money for an expensive, life-saving operation. In ‘The Secret War of Lisa Simpson’, Lisa attempts to enrol at Rommelwood Military Academy after Bart is sent there to be disciplined. ‘Marge Be Not Proud’ sees Bart considering larceny in order to acquire an expensive new video game. Will Homer’s feeble attempts at punishment save the day?
