I'm glad they didn't go the route of Scrooge either being on the naughty list as a kid or Santa not giving him a specific gift that he wanted and that's why he hates Santa. I'm also glad they didn't go the route of having Santa secretly be evil/a twist villain and you actually understand both sides of their argument. This backstory has been referenced a few times and this episode's payoff was worth the wait.

[@sadlobster1]

In American Dad; for some reason, they wanted to make him a bad guy

[@seaniccus]

Oh, I didn't think they might have gone with the trope of being bitter they didn't get a gift. Yeah, I'm glad they didn't do that too! This is much better.

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

If anything Scrooge was sort of the twist villain of the episode, but he realized that he was wrong and helped to fix everything.

[@heidichrist4000]

@@seaniccus I like this episode (one of the reasons being that the Christmas version of DuckTales plays again) but they forgot one other part of Christmas. Krampus, the person who punishes kids with coal on Christmas and even whips really bad kids.

[@mightyfilm]

I have to admit. While I didn't exactly expect things to play out the way they did, I wasn't surprised as to what his motive was. I always suspected that Scrooge hated Santa as a result of his own upbringing that turned into his work ethic. That giving presents out for free somehow comes off as an unearned hand out, rather than the result of years of hard work and the motivations that come from a risk vs. reward seeking lifestyle. Maybe with a hint of "there's no such thing as a free lunch." Technically accurate with this story of him wanting to charge for his and Santa's services, but I'd expect that he'd fill Donald and Della (and by extension Webby) with anti-Santa propaganda to give them a hard work ethic. Something I'd be inclined to think Della would fully embrace, but Donald would give his usual "Aw, Phooey" to. I agree. I'm glad they didn't go the same route as Futurama or American Dad, but especially since it's a story that puts Scrooge into the antagonistic role. One that comes off more the Christmas Carol version of Scrooge than the actual Christmas Carol episode of the series.

We're talking about the same Scrooge who thought the villain of a DCEU-esque superhero film should have a Dastardly Whiplash mustache to be identified as evil. Is it really any surprise?

[@Justice1Knight3]

I'm genuinely amazed with this Christmas special. The writers planted the idea of a "grudge" between Scrooge and Santa since season 1 and slightly teased it a few times, including in the first Christmas special. It made sense for his character of not wanting to give away presents for free. Plus, he considered Santa both as a business partner and a friend, something that he didn't have much in his life.

[@Charok1]

The writers are usually good, sometimes bad, and sometimes they make about the best possible story, like this classic Scrooge/Santa.

[@charlescaulkins8306]

There’s more to Christmas than presents. Santa himself explained that he finds joy in seeing the kid’s eyes light up get something for the heart, warming it in gesture and feeling than in practical use. Part of his and Scrooge’s falling out was how the latter couldn’t see it past his business sense. So while most see Christmas as a stressful “must get this gift” kind of rush, this special helps remind us (and Scrooge) that there can be just as much joy giving as receiving. That, and I love this special worked as a sort of Origin story for Santa Claus who Webby lampshades has a lot in common with Scrooge. And it’s great they got to be friends again!

[@TheAutobotPower]

So, neither Webby or Della knew of this, but hated Santa because of the high esteem they got for Scrooge.

[@TriXJester]

I think the difference is Christmas Carol is more of an adult's perspective on Christmas, and the Santa story is a child's Christmas

[@ralexcraft990]

And the ideal christmas is both at the same time :)

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

"Ah, quit complaining, ya greedy Glaswegian Grinch."

[@Renkencen]

I liked the twist that Scoorge was reveal to be the villian in this special! I mean technically he's not wrong per say however he clearly did not keep up with the times as Webby said whose used coals for heat anymore???

[@ralexcraft990]

That’s right! He should’ve given them gas or batteries lol

[@videogollumer]

We're talking about the same Scrooge who thought the villain of a superhero movie needed a Dastardly Whiplash mustache to be identified as evil. I'm pretty sure his old-fashioned mindset was well past apparent at this point.

[@dataweaver]

What struck me about this was Scrooge's connection to coal. In some of the earlier versions of the Santa Claus story, he had a partner: Knecht Ruprecht, Krampus, Swarte Piet (“Black Pete”), and so on, with different parts of the world featuring different companions. These companions were darker than Santa Claus, punishing children on the naughty list with such “gifts” as a switch or a lump of coal while rewarding children on the nice list with simple but practical gifts. Scrooge isn't fitting into that mold perfectly (there's nothing in his character about punishing naughty children); but he comes surprisingly close.

[@B463L]

I loved this element. There were so many layers here -- the coal is a perfect symbol for Scrooge's industriousness and pragmatism. Like him, it's also misunderstood. People think of the coal as a punishment when, in truth, it's a useful, reliable commodity meant to keep you warm on a cold night. People think of Scrooge as a selfish, heartless miser when, in truth, he has an ethical objection to people receiving things they didn't earn, and he's principled enough to follow his convictions when it costs him dearly.

[@videogollumer]

I've noticed that myself. Honestly, he seems to have had the most in common with Belsnickel, at least outwardly, being a grouchy man dressed in furs.

[@Buffy8Fan]

[@perkasenior]

Happy holidays! 😀 Something I noticed randomly, this season a few episodes start by having someone falling through the mansion's front door, asking for help... Gladstone, Zeus, and then Santa here. Most likely it means nothing, but would be funny if it did somehow.

[@seaniccus]

I kind of noticed that too? It's kind of like an in-joke

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

I don’t think there’s some secret hidden meaning or anything. But maybe when they made the one with Zeus they realized that they had already done it with Gladstone so they decided to play into it and make it sort of a running gag. So that’s why they did it a 3rd time with Santa, and maybe they’ll even do it again in the last few episodes.

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

I kinda like this special just a little more than “Last Christmas”.

I was hoping for this episode. The team wouldn't write in a joke about despising Santa without giving it a payoff.

[@aruce9]

I like how you can take each of these Christmas specials and they each make their own arc from them. This means the arc for Christmas is over going from being bitter over the holiday to secretly enjoying it to Spoilers for the episode To allowing Santa into his home. I think that them ending this arc in ducktales is indicative of the series ending. Maybe Santa will help Scrooge defeat F.O.W.L or get the felis navidiamond

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

When they first mentioned the Felis Navidiamond I was honestly thinking that it was gonna be another Missing Mystery and another flashback of Scrooge fighting FOWL to get it first. I’m glad that they didn’t do that because it wouldn’t have fit in the episode, but I am wondering if they’ll bring it back later in the season. I mean, the Darkwing episode was a huge part of the plot of season 3, so I feel like they could totally make the Christmas episode fit into the plot of the season too. It would make perfect sense to have FOWL steal the Diamond and have Santa help in the battle against FOWL. I’m still expecting them to have every character from the entire show come back to help fight against FOWL.

[@VinnyS9143101982]

Scrooge gave coal because it was needed. Every year my mother & I do Samaritans Purse. We do one shoe box for each gender &^ age group. I always select flashlight because when you live in a country with no electricity or plumbing a flashlight is the difference between life & death. So that's why I understand Scrooge giving poor people coal

[@francescaangeles4846]

The problem wasn't the coal itself. The problem was that Scrooge wanted to charge people for the coal rather than give it for free. Santa saw this and tried to insist on doing the latter, which resulted in the falling out.

[@videogollumer]

It's interesting how this is an inverse of the typical "The gift may not be glamorous, but it's the thought that counts" lesson, yet the moral is essentially the same. This time it's "The gift may not be PRACTICAL, but it's the thought that counts", and it's interesting when you think about it. Whether a present is practical or glamorous ultimately doesn't matter; in the end, it's a material object either way. The value of a material object will eventually wear out; but for those who recognize the spirit in which the gift is given, they have a memory of the giver's kindness that, for the most part, endures for life.

[@antonissa8345]

Wait a minute, hasn’t Santa existed since...*mumble* *mumble* .... 1600’s?!?!??!

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

I guess not in the DuckTales universe. Or maybe Scrooge is that old, idk

[@SuperSongbird21]

Some sources would argue that Santa (or a version of him) has been around since the Middle Ages. Scrooge is meant to be about 150 (helps that he keeps running into stuff that rejuvenates him), so he may not be older than the OG Santa, but the one he knows is the 'modern' version whose age kind of matches Scrooge's.

It's rare in modern day shows to have a decent Christmas special that is bith well thought and well written. To have it building up over the course of the series like this, is especially remarkable! To have the show take this turn on the spirit of Christmas (both the Carol & Santa episodes) is very unique, understandable and even heartwarming at times. Thank you so much for this review and the little comparison with the other special. May you have a merry Christmas, and a hopeful new year!

Thanks for the video, one of my favourite episodes this season and one of my favourite Christmas specials for sure. Happy holidays everybody!

[@milackurz]

I always adore your reviews and seeing your perspective, but the end of this one really resonated with me. I've just been thinking about this Quarantine Christmas, and how it really affected my spirit for the holiday this year. This is also the first year I haven't spent Christmas with my family, even though they live reasonably close by...we managed a parking lot exchange of goods, but we're all doing our best to keep each other safe. That's heartwarming in its own way, I suppose, but it was hard. Hope you found happiness in your own holiday...this special did bring a smile to me when I saw it, especially seeing little Jennifer making a toy out of anything. Find happiness with what you have? I think it's really a year for one of my favorite Christmas songs, Judy Garland's original "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"... "until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow."

[@ThePonderer]

I like that the schism between them is literally just capitalism.

[@videogollumer]

I do like the acknowledgement of the value coal back in the old days. It might not have been a glamorous gift; but before the 2nd industrial revolution, it was the most energy efficient source of heat in wide use. Winter was brutal back then, with pneumonia and hypothermia being much more life threatening. For a house in need of heat back then, a single lump of coal could have meant a difference between life and death. Even today, though Webby questioned it, not everyone has the conveniences of a middle class American; the house of the little girl who made a doll out of the coal made that apparent.

So basically Scrooge was just being a greedy petey as usual, figures he'd be in the wrong.

[@sadlobster1]

To this day; I question why some rich people hate the idea of giving away gifts for free (i.e. selfless generosity,) their obsession with "practicality" and thinking Christmas should be treated as more of a commercial racket instead of a wholesome holiday. All these millionaires, billionaires, trillionaires and even SEXILLIONAIRES (which is like a one with THIRTY zeroes after it) have all the money in the universe in the palms of their hands. What's wrong with making someone happy by giving them a toy, a piece of clothing or any other kind of gift for free? Is it really that painful to be selfless or generous?

[@foxymetroid]

Some became rich with selfish habits that are hard to break. They also struggle to understand how someone could stay poor and thus see generosity as rewarding laziness. Some were born wealthy and don't see the need for generosity when they never needed to be on the receiving end. Then there's the "pull yourself up by the bootstrap" cult that believe poverty is purely the result of laziness and wealth purely as the result of hard work. The bootstrap phrase originally meant trying to achieve what was literally impossible as you can't literally raise your elevation by pulling your shoelaces.

[@sadlobster1]

@@foxymetroid Some speculate that Santa is a lazy guy not JUST because of his size but for the fact he travels only ONE night per year. But I ask you...what do you think he does the other 364 days? Many stories depict him already hard at work with his helpers, making new toys for good children. So, while he does do his job just for the sake of giving; Santa STILL works hard at what he does

[@Ryodraco]

In Scrooge's case at least it is definitely his dislike for waste rather than an issue of how much it costs. In this episode he specifically notes how he doesn't see value in a toy a child is likely to play with once and then forget about, whereas when he was a child he would have killed to get coal as it was so useful.

[@sadlobster1]

@@Ryodraco That's another thing, why is it that rich people who started out poor end up becoming so greedy? Scrooge, in some ways, is no different than Eugene Krabs...except I doubt Scrooge would break someone's arm off for a penny

[@Ryodraco]

@@sadlobster1 Scrooge is honestly a fair bit more generous than that, or at least this incarnation is. Just look at how willing he was to invest in his sister's new business (despite her poor track record with businesses). He just has a lot of rules he lives by regarding "proper" ways to use money.

[@cartoonfan9million468]

This was a good episode, but i think i would have liked it if the kid was not jennifer and the kid when scrooge gave him/her coal cried and then Scrooge would see that times have changed and people don't want coal anymore for Christmas. It would also be interesting if it made Scrooge realize how being greedy and wanting money for coal instead of giving the kids the gifts they want can hurt them and make him look like a greedy jerk.

Not at all, he and Scrooge were delivering coal in the first place. Santa's falling out with Scrooge happened because he suggested that they GIVE the coal away and Scrooge had no interest in charity.

​@@videogollumerwell, it's understandable on scrooge side tho. He makes those coal and he put hard work and money to invest to that.

[@videogollumer]

​@@HyoGoro-se8tb No argument there; but it's likely that Santa's motive for making the suggestion was that he knew that not everyone who need coal could afford to pay for it. I mean, Scrooge claims Santa "stole Christmas" from him; but while selling coal was Scrooge's business, it was Santa's idea to deliver it worldwide. Santa only had the best interest of others in mind.

[@sadlobster1]

Another thing I've forgotten to point out...Christmas could never be "Scrooge's racket" because it already belonged to someone else. Not Santa, not the business people...it's Christ; Scrooge is the kind of person who is too blind to understand what the holiday is really about. All people like him worry about is green paper and metal coins. To me, THAT'S more wasteful of a gift to get than any toy or game

[@matthewstarkie4254]

Well before Christ, it belonged to the Celts and other various cultures of Northern Europe. Christianity might have spread the traditions around the world, but most of the mainstays; mistletoe, feasts, keeping warm together on the longest nights of the year, are all from the Winter Solstice celebrations. If anything, Santa is the Christ figure in this special, mixing peace and love with Scrooge's cold practicalities of coming together to stay warm and chase away the cold winter's night.
