Hey there holiday tappers! Howzit? So TSTO is officially in White Christmas mode and the snow is a’falling. I don’t know about you but I love my town covered in snow. As a Southern California resident, I like the snow I can oooh and aaah over without being cold or shoveling it. Of course with a brand new event comes brand new stuff to chat about. My favorite part is of course re-watching Simpsons episodes and then sharing with you just where THAT comes from. For this edition, let’s take a look at the Christmas Float.
Once you acquire 580 presents in the game (the first Part 1 prize), the Christmas Float appears in your game. I immediately decided this festive item had to go in front of my mall complex.
Of course, this is because I know the origin of the float. To find it we head on over to “Homer vs. Dignity” (S12:E5). This entire episode revolves around Homer working as Mr. Burns’ prank monkey to earn some extra dinero. He does all sorts of things from hitting Lenny with pudding, being a baby with a boom boom and dressing as a female panda. It’s PANDA-monium!
I laugh every time Ralph says “Sim-sin likes to boogie.”
Long story short, Lisa discovers Homer’s new gig and convinces him to stop, regain his dignity and donate his earnings to charity. Homer uses his dirty, dirty money to buy all the toys at Costington’s and in return, is made Santa in Costington’s Thanksgiving Parade.
Bet you can guess what the float looks like.
So our first prize is something that links Thanksgiving AND Christmas. Pretty appropriate. Also an appearance by Santa Homer where he looks much more like Kris Kringle and less like Homer. Well my friends, that’s really it. Merry Fishmas and Merry Everyone!
TTFN… Wookiee out!
I’m just curious, have you done Where did That Come From? for any of the other floats? I just cannot recall the Easter or Simpsons Go to Hell floats from the episodes I’ve seen.
If not, be a good tie in article for New Years and the annual Rose Parade.
From what i recall…no this is the only one we’ve got a WDTCF on. I’ll mention it to Wookiee.
I didn’t cover the Easter float but here’s info on the devil float.

My Kwik-e-marts have stopped producing money. Have stored all of them and place again, have restarted game, gone to KL and back and still no timer for the store. (Still have the scratch-R and golden scratch-R) Have anyone else experience the same thing? Thank you.

oh thank you. Hopes they add it back later, I like having those for my neighbors to tap.
My Kwik-E-Mart AND my police station doesn’t pay out taxes either… my quest to build King Toots disappeared (I’m at level 28 now) after it showed up…I guess when a free game’s this big on my little phone it’s bound to have glitches.
Police station never did. That’s a vandalize building. Meaning it’s an option for a neighbor to spray paint for you to get cash, but it does not generate income. The Police Station, Elementary School, Moe’s & Town Hall are all Vandalize buildings with no other income generating
Lol in a game I used to play, Pocket God, Fishmas was one of the updates a while back. I laughed so much when I read it just now.
Nice… it’s what Burns says when he’s dressed as Santa and strews fish guts over people… makes me laugh also.
