  • [listening to Bart's class sing "Jingle Bells"]
  • Marge: Oh, listen to Bart. Doesn't he sound like a little angel?

  • [Skinner yanks him out of the choir]

  • Marge: Aww Bart, that's the sweetest gift a mother could ever have. It makes you look so dangerous too.
  • Bart: Come on, Dad, if TV has taught me anything, it's that miracles always happen to poor kids at Christmas. It happened to Tiny Tim, it happened to Charlie Brown, it happened to the Smurfs, and it's gonna happen to us.

  • Bart: All right!
  • Marge: Homer!
  • Homer: Aah! Thirteen bucks? Hey, wait a minute!
  • Cashier: 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.

  • Homer: Did you hear that, Boy? Santa's Little Helper. It's a sign. It's an omen.
  • Bart: It's a coincidence, Dad.
  • Boy: And then I want some Robotoids, and a Gook monster, and then I want a great, big...
  • Homer: [dressed as Santa] Ah, Son, you don't need all that junk. I'm sure you've already got something much more important: A decent home and a loving father who would do anything for you. Hey, I can't afford lunch so give me a bite of that donut.

  • Marge Simpson: Oh, dear, maybe Bart can be a little more realistic.
