Normally if a Christmas special isn't 100% about the holidays, I get quite upset. It's a big pet peeve of mine. But the title to the Simpsons: Winter Wingding doesn't imply that it's supposed to be holiday themed at the least. Instead, with these annual specials, I expect all of these stories to involve cold weather antics starring television's funniest family and their zany neighbors.
As a bonus, this issue starts out with some holiday fun as Bart wishes for it to be Christmas everyday. Interestingly enough, this issue, while extremely silly, actually has some very good points economically and socially why 365 days of Christmas isn't exactly a good thing.
Finishing out this comic are a trio of short stories involving Bart and the Junior Campers going on a bobsled race, Otto the Bus Driver's guide to snowboarding lingo, and the greatest snowball fight in Springfield history.
I love the Winter Wingdings. They are extremely enjoyable. Plus, they're a great cure for when you need a Simpsons holiday fix and your local TV station is airing a Treehouse of Horror marathon instead.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
