| abstract | - Santa's Little Helper (born March 12) also known as No. 8 (his number in the dog race in Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire), Suds McDuff of America, or Santa's Stupid Name, is the Simpson family's dog. Santa's Little Helper has been with the Simpson's family the whole series instead of dying like other animals have. Oddly for a domestic dog, he has been shown to still be alive thirty years in the future, as a highly evolved canine with a large cerebellum ("Holidays of Future Passed") and a creature stitched together out of pieces of both he and Snowball II, in which form he is known as "Santa's Little Hybrid" ("Days of Future Future").

- In his first appearance in "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Homer takes the small amount of Christmas money he made working as a Santa at the Springfield Mall and bets it at the dog track. Although Homer has inside information on which dog was going to win, he instead bets on the "long shot," Santa's Little Helper, believing the dog's name to be a sign. Santa's Little Helper finishes last, and his frustrated owner abandons him. Homer and Bart adopt Santa's Little Helper, and everyone is so happy that the family has a merry Christmas after all. In various episodes, Santa's Little Helper can be seen chewing on newspaper and other objects in the Simpsons' household, tearing up the furniture, digging holes in the backyard and eating food from the dining room table. During the second-season episode "Bart's Dog Gets an F", Homer is fed up with the dog's rambunctiousnous and threatens to give away Santa's Little Helper unless he graduates from an obedience school. In "Dog of Death", he nearly dies of gastric torsion (referred to in the show as a "twisting of the stomach") because Homer initially could not afford $750 for the required operation; in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)", he breaks two legs when Bart's tree house is destroyed by Mr. Burns' oil well. In the episode "The Canine Mutiny", Bart briefly abandons Santa's Little Helper for Laddie, a purebred and very well-trained collie he buys from a mail-order catalog. To do that, Bart uses a charge card he applied for under the name of his dog, yet the credit card company misread the form and issued a card to Mr. "Santos L. Halper". Laddie learns many tricks that Santa's Little Helper is completely unable to perform — most notably a back flip, CPR and using a toilet. The Simpson family nearly forgets about their old pet, and Bart eventually gives him away instead of Laddie when repo men take back everything he fraudulently purchased. Feeling guilty about this disloyalty and bored with his too perfect new dog, Bart tries to get Santa's Little Helper back. When he finally finds him, Santa's Little Helper is serving as a seeing-eye dog for a blind man, but eventually decides to return to Bart. In the episode "Stop, Or My Dog Will Shoot!", he becomes a great hero after he saves Homer in a cornfield maze, and then becomes enrolled as a police dog, teamed up with Officer Lou. Lou and Santa's Little Helper make a good team, foiling crimes together. After biting Bart's left leg, Santa's Little Helper is sent off by the Simpson family to live with Lou. Later on, once Springfield Elementary is in danger and Bart isn't able to escape, Santa's Little Helper comes in to save him, and goes back to living with the Simpsons. In season 14's "Old Yeller Belly", Santa's Little Helper leaves the Simpsons again when he is kicked out of the house by a furious Homer, who was angry at the dog for not rescuing him from a fire in the family's treehouse (Homer is rescued by Snowball V instead). Santa's Little Helper goes on to replace Duffman as the mascot for Duff Beer, but the Simpsons soon miss him terribly and enlist Duffman's help to get him back. In Season 22's "How Munched is That Birdie in the Window?", after Santa's Little Helper devours Bart's pigeon, Raymond Bird, Bart gets mad at Santa's Little Helper and, unable to forgive him, the Simpsons are forced to gives him away to an ostrich farm, where Bart explains that Santa's Little Helper should never, ever devour a bird. However, after an ostrich turns against Bart, Santa's Little Helper refuses to help Bart, so Bart is forced to strangle the ostrich to death with his bare hands (Saying "WHY YOU LITTLE" in a very similar manner to his own father strangling him). Bart realizes the error of his ways and apologizes to Santa's Little Helper.

- As Mr. Feeny ends his reading of 'A Christmas Carol', Cory and Shawn make jokes and Mr. Feeny has Topanga switch seats with Cory. With the two troublemakers separated, Mr. Feeny asks Cory's opinion on the story and he summarizes "if you're a real butthead, then neat ghosts will take you to cool places." Suffice to say, Mr. Feeny is not amused. Cory notices Shawn packed his lunch even though he usually likes the cafeteria fish sticks. Minkus drops by their table and Topanga follows soon after. They all get into a small debate about the meaning of Christmas, with Cory placing value on gift-giving and Topanga informing them it's about celebrating the winter solstice. Cory and Shawn finally manage to get Topanga and Minkus to leave so they can brag about the presents they're getting. Cory is particularly excited about a new, authentic NBA basketball. Minkus returns one last time to get Shawn's five dollar donation for the class Christmas gift to Mr Feeny. Shawn lies that he spent it on lunch before quickly leaving. Morgan and Amy return from the mall with Morgan upset, thinking she killed Santa Claus. Alan finds the whole situation funny and Amy goes up to check on her daughter. Cory rushes home to check on the newest presents added under the Christmas tree. When he tells his dad he's going to tell Shawn, he learns that Shawn's dad was laid off from work. Cory is sad that his friend won't get anything for Christmas and resolves to give him one of his own gifts. The gift he settles on is the basketball he was excited to get himself. Shawn is confused at first but when he finds out that Cory knows about his dad getting fired, he's embarrassed and upset. He refuses to take Cory's supposed charity gift and he storms off. Cory yells after Shawn and tries to complain about his lack of Christmas spirit to Mr. Feeny who seems to have heard the tail end of their argument. Mr. Feeny gives a small speech on friendship and how people shouldn't give gifts just to get gratitude and feel good about themselves. Inside the house, Morgan is finally able to come out of her room but quickly runs back, screaming when she sees the burly looking mall elf who blamed her for Santa's heart attack. The next day at school, Minkus badgers Shawn for the five dollars and Shawn would rather the whole class think he's a deadbeat than admit he doesn't have money to give. Cory talks to Minkus and gives the five dollars he saved for a basketball net, claiming he borrowed it from Shawn and that's why Shawn didn't have the money. Minkus presents Mr. Feeny with a large, hard-cover dictionary and Shawn finds out his name is in the card. When he tries to thank Minkus for including him, Minkus reveals what Cory told him and Shawn sincerely wishes him a Merry Christmas. Shawn stops by Cory's house, spotting him with his ball in the backyard. He gives Cory his dad's old basketball net as a Christmas gift and they get into a quick basketball game. When they come back to Cory's place, Amy invites him to stay but Shawn would rather spend Christmas with his family. She gives him Christmas cookies to take home and before leaving, Cory asks if he'll be okay. Shawn assures him he will, "Hey, I got friends I can get through anything." A certain gray-haired neighbor comes knocking dressed as Santa Claus and assures Morgan he was in the hospital because he ate under cooked figgy pudding. Morgan is relieved she didn't kill Santa but, as her mom grabs her camera to take a picture, she wonders why Santa looks like Mr. Feeny. In the post-credits tag, Morgan sings the Batman version of Jingle Bells while her mom plays the piano.
