So, "Grampa's Christmas Origins: Christmas Cards" from 2011 comic book "The Simpsons Winter Winding" #6 is only two pages long, but I have plenty to say about it!
Homer Simpson's boss at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, one C. Montgomery Burns, is so Scroogey already that he easily slips into the "Burnseneezer Scrooge" part.
I also think it's fun that they have Sideshow Bob as Bob Cratchit, since he's already named Bob. Interesting that he's not called "Sideshow Bob Cratchit," though!
The framing story with Bart and Lisa attempting to mail Christmas cards has a major gaffe: Bart says his scarf trick "from watching old Christmas cartoons on TV" (as seen at the top of the page).
But... Linus does that trick with his blanket while mailing a letter to the Great Pumpkin! Oh, Bart...
Still, some wacky Simpsons fun!
Next: Ample amounts of more Simpsons homages!
