I can't help but absolutely LOVE this episode every single time I watch it. To me, I think this would fall under the category of my favorite Christmas episodes of shows, along with the Family Guy and Girls Next Door Christmas specials. I loved how Santa was so evil and fun, and the main characters were as lovable and hilarious as always. It was so awesome and cunning how they came up with the idea of the robot Santa and all the mean and cruel, yet totally hysterical tricks he pulls, and I loved the ending too, haha, funny funny song. This was a wonderful episode to a wonderful show and I can always enjoy it, even when it's not Christmas.
