==Plot==
After attending the Springfield Elementary School Christmas pageant, the Simpsons prepare for the holiday season. Bart and Lisa write letters to Santa; Lisa asks for a pony and Bart wants a tattoo. Marge and Homer are furious and forbid Bart from getting a tattoo. The next day, Marge takes the kids Christmas shopping at the mall. Bart sneaks away to get a tattoo that reads Mother on his arm, thinking Marge will like it. Before the artist can finish the tattoo, Marge finds Bart and drags him to the dermatologist to have it removed. She spends the family's entire holiday budget on the procedure thinking that Homer's Christmas bonus will cover gift expenses.
At the power plant, Homer's mean-spirited boss, Mr. Burns, announces that employees will receive no Christmas bonuses this year. When he learns Marge spent the family's holiday money on tattoo removal, Homer secretly moonlights as a shopping mall Santa at the suggestion of his friend Barney Gumble. While at the mall on Christmas Eve, Bart removes Santa's beard, exposing Homer's secret. Bart apologizes for the prank and praises his father for moonlighting to give the family Christmas presents. After Homer's Santa gig pays far less than expected due to high tax deductions, he and Bart receive a greyhound racing tip from Barney.
At Springfield Downs, Homer bets all his money on a last-minute entry named Santa's Little Helper, a 99–1 long shot. The greyhound finishes last. As Homer and Bart leave the track, they see the dog's owner berate and abandon him for losing the race. Bart pleads with Homer to keep the dog as a pet; they return home and Bart introduces Santa's Little Helper as their family dog. The family is overjoyed by Homer's gesture and celebrates by singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".
