Xmas Story" is the first of three Christmas-themed episodes of the animated television series

Futurama, presented in the show\'s second production season in both production and broadcast order. It was written by David X. Cohen, and directed by Peter Avanzino. While on a ski trip, Fry begins to feel nostalgic for 20th century Christmases. To cheer him up, the rest of the Planet Express staff decide to decorate for Xmas (as Christmas is now called; pronounced "eks-mas"), which includes cutting down an Xmas tree.

The others warn him to be back before sundown, or else he will be killed by a murderous robotic Santa Claus.

Unfortunately, due to a programming error, the jolly robotic elf\'s standards are set too high and he will kill anyone who has been naughty at sundown. (more)
