What "Futurama" 8-th episode about
While the crew takes a vacation skiing, Fry becomes depressed by how much Christmas has changed in the future. Besides the difference in pronunciation and the extinction of pine trees, jolly St. Nick is now a man to be feared. It's Fry's first Christmas away from home, and he has no one to share it with. Leela is also feeling lonely; growing up as an orphan has left her with no family to share the holiday. Fry is determined to cheer her up, so he goes out to find her the perfect gift. Everyone warns him to be back by sundown lest he be huged by Santa. But when Fry's gift, a pet parrot, escapes, he neglects their warning trying to capture it. Leela then learns of his absence and runs out to get Fry before Santa Claus does. The two unite to confront the Xmas enemy.
