[edit] Synopsis
Christmas is Timmy's favorite day of the year, as in addition to the tremendous amount of gifts he receives from Santa Claus, it's the one day of the year he is guaranteed that his parents will stay home and not have Vicky babysit him. So when the day arrives, he expresses through song to Cosmo and Wanda that he wishes Christmas were every day. Despite their reluctance, they grant his wish.
At first, Timmy is thrilled to have Christmas every day, but things soon take a sour turn, as he begins to notice when he starts receiving less and less presents. Because Christmas now falls on every day, all the schools, stores, and businesses remain closed, and everybody has become so sick of Christmas that the armed forces are working to shoot Santa's sleigh down. Even worse, the mascots for the other holidays (led by the Easter Bunny and consisting of Baby New Year, Cupid, and the April Fool) are furious that their respective holidays can no longer come. Unfortunately, Timmy cannot reverse his wish, because every Christmas Eve, all the fairies in Fairy World transfer their magic to Santa so that he can make his annual journey, and they don't get it back till Christmas is over; obviously, since Christmas is still going on, Cosmo and Wanda cannot reverse the wish. The angry holiday mascots, planning to banish Santa to the non-existent February 33rd, kidnap Cosmo and Wanda (in order to use what remains of their magic against Santa's) and take off in the April Fool's bus.
Using a high-speed snowmobile, Timmy makes his way to Greenland, all the while getting help from other kids who celebrate Christmas, soon catching up with the holiday mascots. Disguising himself as another holiday mascot named Birthday Boy, Timmy tricks the mascots into letting them on their bus, then slows them down by puncturing the tires with Cosmo and Wanda's crowns. He makes it to Santa's workshop in time to warn Santa of the oncoming attack, but the mascots soon catch up. Sure enough, Santa's attempts to fight them are futile, and his magic is soon sucked out of him and transferred to the Easter Bunny, who prepares to blow Santa to February 33rd with an egg-shaped bomb. Fortunately, the kids who helped Timmy in his journey show up, along with every other child with Internet access, and they help him make it clear to the holiday mascots that they do love their respective holidays as well. The mascots, realizing the error of their ways, give Santa's magic back to him, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still Christmas. Timmy then rallies all the kids to tell Santa that what they want is for it to be December 26th, which they do. Thanks to that, the endless Christmas finally ends, and things return to normal. However, to make amends to Santa for the whole mess, Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda, and the other holiday mascots have to deliver the Christmas presents next year while Santa and his wife take a vacation in Hawaii.
[edit] Trivia
- This was the first episode to run for a full half-hour, being a holiday special.
- In addition, it was the first to feature musical number sequences where the characters perform an original song.
- This is the first appearance of the Channel 7 TV News and Chet Ubetcha.
- According to the series' timeline, this episode takes place in the third season.
- It is revealed in this episode that Dimmsdale is in California.
- Christmas supposedly forms temporary truces between bitter enemies (as Chet states at the beginning), but Vicky and Timmy don't do that here (and they wouldn't until the third season's "Snow Bound").
- One of the faulty toys that santa makes resembles the baby headed tinker toy crab from toy story.
- In Da Rules, it says that you can't let anyone see your fairy godparents. However, when all of the kids gather to save Santa you can clearly see Cosmo and Wanda exposed. Timmy didn't lose his godparents because the children watching them didn't know that they were Timmy's.
