"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" (production code 7G08), also known as "The Simpsons Christmas Special" was the first full episode of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' ever aired, although it was originally produced as the eighth episode.
 
After going to the Springfield Elementary School Christmas pageant, Marge asks Lisa and Bart for their letters to Santa. Lisa wishes for a [[All Girls Like Ponies|pony]], while Bart instead wants a tattoo. When Marge, Lisa and Bart go shopping the next day, Bart slips away to the tattoo parlor and gets a tattoo that reads "mother". Counting on Homer's Christmas bonus, Marge spends the Christmas money getting the tattoo removed. However, at the Power Plant Mr. Burns announces that there will be no Christmas bonus for this year.
Line 19:
** And it was eighth in production order (note how Santa's Little Helper isn't in half the season one episodes).
* [[Mall Santa]]: Homer becomes one half-way through the episode in order to help pay for Christmas after he doesn't get his Chrimstas bonus.
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** The episode's title is a reference to "The Christmas Song", also known as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire".
** One of the race dogs is called "Dog o' War", similar to the actual racehorse Man o' War.
** In one scene Bart is strapped to a table with a laser moving towards him, like the iconic scene in ''[[Goldfinger (Film)|Goldfinger]]''.
