Episode Quotes |

Bart: (to Homer) I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?
Homer: I'm jolly old St. Nick!
| Homer: Thirteen bucks? Hey, wait a minute?
Clerk: That's right. One hundred and twenty dollars gross, less social security, less unemployment insurance, less Santa training, less costume purchase, less beard rental, less Christmas club. See you next year.
| Tattoo Removal Technician: Now whatever you do boy, don't squirm. You don't want to get this sucker near your eye or your groin.
| Bart: Oh say Dad, you must really love us to sink so low.
| Homer: Dasher, Dancer... Prancer... Nixon... Comet... Cupid... Donna Dixon.
| Marge: You will not be getting a tattoo for Christmas.
Homer: Yeah. If you want one, you'll have to pay for it out of your own allowance.
Bart All right!
Marge: Homer!
| Marge: Isn't Bart sweet, Homer? He sings like an angel.
Bart: Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile broke its wheel, the Joker got away.
| Marge: All right, children. Let me have those letters. I'll send them to Santa's workshop at the North Pole.
Bart: Oh, please. There's only one fat guy that brings us presents and his name ain't Santa.
| Marge: (to Homer, About Santa's Little Helper) This is the best gift of all, Homer.
Homer: It is?
Marge: Yes, something to share our love. And frighten prowlers.
