A book version of what i'm pretty sure is the first Christmas episode of the TV show.

Found this while I was going through some of my old books and decided to give it a reread. A funny and heart-warming Christmas tale that retells the Simpsons episode "Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire."

A book version of the Simpson’s Xmas show, from the 1990s. The Simpson’s try to make the best of Christmas while short on money, especially after Homer doesn’t get a Christmas bonus.

It's a stupidly funny book based on the first episode ever that the TV show called The Simpson's broadcasted. The show captured many fans with the original ideas starting with this book and set the tone for the future decades of on air Simpson's broadcasting.

This became a gift for a friend--in May.
It was the Simpsons. And it was his birthday.
And it didn't hurt that it was fifty cents.
