Season 11, Episode 9
9/10
And now, a word from my god, our sponsor...

Iconic episode that once again reflects the lack of scruples of a society based on economic benefit and, in turn, the tireless search for neutrality on the part of its inhabitants. The spirit of Christmas reflected objectively, giving credit to both sides of the coin and giving way on the one hand to reflection and on the other to the well-deserved fun of the Christmas holidays. The Simpsons do not lean to the left, and fully recognize the shortcomings of public education, especially in less affluent neighborhoods, while warning of the logical end of any private initiative. This is one of the episodes that invites us to discuss it after watching it, as if we were sitting up all night with Gary Coleman, only to conclude that the commercialization of Christmas is at best a mix blessing.
