Traditions[]
Patchy and Potty[]
They celebrate the holiday by decorating their house and an evergreen tree. Patchy bakes cookies and at least once read a fan letter. He also pretends that SpongeBob and Patrick are on a ship and shipwrecked on the Bikini Bottom Island. Potty gave Patchy an decorated egg for his present.
One year, the two drive to the North Pole after stealing a mail truck. Patchy thinks the directions to the North Pole are in the song "Jingle Bells." However, Potty thinks the directions are in the song "There Goes Santa Claus." Eventually, the two end up causing themselves to be stuck. Later, they walk the rest of the way. Patchy ended up thinking that he met Santa, when it is actually a bear. Potty ends up meeting the real Santa Claus.
Bikini Bottom[]
The Bikini Bottomites celebrate by decorating their houses and chopping down a coral tree and decorating it. They give each other gifts and spend time with family and friends.
History in Bikini Bottom[]
A few days before Christmas, it was introduced to SpongeBob by Sandy, who told him all about the Christmas holiday after SpongeBob thought Sandy was having a fire when she was really plugging in a Christmas tree. SpongeBob soon spread the stories and everyone was going to celebrate, except Squidward. He eventually spreads it to Bikini Bottom but after staying up all night to see Santa, they thought it was a fairytale. After Squidward feels bad, he decides to bring Christmas by dressing up as Santa and gives his belongings away to the citizens. Santa comes by up in the air on a sleigh to thank Squidward.
