(7G01) "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"

The Christmas Season has arrived. Bart gets a tattoo, Marge uses the family's holiday money to get it removed, Mr. Burns cuts Homer's holiday bonus, and he becomes a shopping mall Santa to make up for it. Running low on hope and money, Bart and Homer make a last minute bet on a dog race. Their dog loses, but Bart convinces Homer to take in a mutt, named Santa's Little Helper, that was rejected by its owner after the race. The Simpsons fall in love with the dog and what looked like disaster turns out to be a very Merry Christmas.
