Episode Summary

This episode takes place in the future, in which a robotic snowman named Sludgy is telling children the story of the most horrible Christmas ever. It all started when Zim, Gir and Minimoose were on the streets trying to make money; he notices that fat men in red coats and white beards were making a lot of money. He captures one and he discovers the story of Santa Claus, in which he is amazed over how much power Santa has over the humans. Zim decides to create a giant Santa suit that he can use in order to pretend to be Santa, in order to have more power over the humans and become their ruler, so Zim collects all info on Santa and creates his suite, though Dib figures out Zim's scheme and heads out to stop him in order to not only save Christmas, but to save the entire human race as well.moreless

It was a very cool episode very funny, i like the song about Zim Santa,i had almost thought that Zim would win at last but he didn't like always, his plans don't work at the end i am sad that invader Zim is over because i loved this series it was an amazing series. At first when i saw the first episode i thought that it was a stupid program nothing funny, then i started to understand the program and i start liking it, when it was over i got very sad because it didn't even have an ending like he conquered earth or they make peace or something.moreless

This is probably I have got to say the most "unique" Christmas specials I have ever seen. The basic perpose of the whole thing is to make you laugh ( which is pretty much the basic reason for all the episodes ). And what's even worse for Dib is even after he saves the planet he tries to make everyone realize what Christmas is really all about, and Zim comes back as the "Easter Platypus" and has everyone attack him. I don't think there will ever be another Christmas special like this like this one. You have to give it to Jhonen Vasquez, he is one for creativity.moreless

I love this episode it has the best battle scene in the whole series, where mega-santa suit vs. anti-santa suit.

and i love it how dib infultrates zims santa hide out wearing only a beard and elf ears. i think it was a wonderful idea to make the santa suit fulty and how he acts like santa when he introduced to a bit of holiday spirit.

as far as i know this is the first time minimoose appears. ( minimoose being a tiny foalting moose of course )

it was about time they made a christmas special too !_!

I Will Not Be Silenced!!!!moreless

Only Invader Zim could make X-Mas so diabolical...

The Plot - Zim learns about X-Mas and also Santa and Earth's love of him, thus he fashions an amorphous Santa suit to rule Earth with a Christmassy fist.
This episode is hilarious, from Gir telling Santa what he wants for Chirstmas, right down to the framing device which is Sludgey the snowrobot. The voice acing as usual is fantastic and the plotline is as wierd as it is epic, suffice to say this one is brilliant.moreless

Now, at first I thought the Halloween episode was crazy but when I saw this I was like "woah!" there both crazy episodes, and they are so much funny...Dib and Zim help out each other once again, but betray each other at the end of the episode, lol..Invader Zim is awsome, the poor tallest..getting spooked by a toy, and poor Zim..when he got locked in the Santa suit he seemed so helpless, and he was so sad...to bad we only get to see minimoose once, ah well...even though they show re-runs Invader Zim will live on forever, I'll even tell my children about it...lol joking, but I won't forget it.moreless
