The Simpsons - All 15 Christmas Episodes Ranked

12. 'Tis The Fifteenth Season

Merry Xmas - The Simpsons Homer
Fox

Very little good came from season 15. The Simpsons teen years were troubled, with seasons 15 through 19 being the absolute low point of the show (say what you will about the modern Simpsons, but they haven't stooped to having Homer portrayed as a Kurt Cobain parody in a band called Sadgasm).

'Tis the Fifteenth Season is far from the worst Simpsons episode of season 15, but it's still not great. It's a parody of sorts of A Christmas Carol, somehow stemming from Homer forgetting that he has Lenny's name in the annual Secret Santa.

That in turn somehow leads to him competing with Flanders (stupid Flanders) to be the nicest guy in town, just in time for the holidays, because, well, at this point in the show's history, plots just jumped all over the place and didn't really make sense!
