Santa with Dexter

Dexter wants to prove to Dee Dee that Santa Claus doesn't exist, so he sets up a monitoring system on the roof. A man in red finally shows up and when he enters the living room, Dexter tries to take a picture to prove that it's just his dad in a Santa costume. When Santa resists, Dexter decides that more drastic measures must be taken, taking the chase from the bedroom to the rooftop to the skies. Santa's sleigh is finally shot down, and Dexter shaves off Santa's beard. Unfortunately for him, he sees his dad behind him, and realizes (too late) that the jolly man is real. Also, the crash has ransacked the living room, Christmas tree and all. As Dexter tries to tell everyone what Christmas is really about, he is shocked to hear it is about the presents.

Availability[]
