The first episode of The Simpsons, titled "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" also known as "The Simpsons Christmas Special," premiered on this day in 1989 on the Fox Television -- well, it wasn't much of a network 18 years ago, but we have to call it that nowadays.
We mention it because nobody ever remembers birthdays around Christmas time.
But you're still not getting a second present.
