Plot

In Encino, California, the French Narrator introduces the president of the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club, Patchy the Pirate, a live-action character who is currently preparing for Christmas, and his "friend", Potty the Parrot, a crudely made puppet with very obvious strings. Patchy receives a fan letter from a person whose name and address is withheld, asking if SpongeBob likes Christmas as much as he does. Patchy explains that they didn't always celebrate Christmas in Bikini Bottom, and decides to show how they were introduced to it, beginning the episode proper. At Sandy's treedome, Sandy is putting up Christmas lights. SpongeBob, who is in his karate gear and preparing to attack her, mistakes it for a fire, and rushes inside, throwing water onto it. Sandy asks him what he was doing, and SpongeBob replies he believed there was a fire. Sandy is shocked that SpongeBob has never heard of Christmas, and tells him all about it. Later, at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob tells his friends about Christmas. Everyone believes him, and everyone, except Squidward, puts their Christmas wishes into bottles, which are then shot up to the surface so Santa can read it. In the days leading up to Christmas, the people of Bikini Bottom heartily celebrate, and on Christmas Eve, stand in front of the large decorated coral tree and sing, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa . Meanwhile, Squidward, refusing to believe in Christmas, is wanting no part of it. The people continue to sing until morning, when Santa has failed to arrive. Everyone leaves and SpongeBob becomes very depressed. Squidward appears, laughing and scoffing at his humiliation, and takes a photo of the heartbroken SpongeBob. As he sulks away, he gives Squidward a present. Squidward, now feeling sorry for SpongeBob, opens it, and finds a handmade driftwood clarinet. He now realizes that he is a "big jerk", dresses up as Santa much to the delight of SpongeBob. SpongeBob thanks "Santa" for bringing Christmas to Bikini Bottom, and Squidward tells him that he did. SpongeBob passes out from joy, and Gary carries him home. Squidward prepares to take the costume off, but is confronted by a little girl, asking him for a present. SpongeBob suddenly appears beside her, assuring her that he will. Out of desperation, Squidward gives the child a wrench from his house. He then sees a crowd of people, who want their gifts as well, and ends up giving away everything he owns. Afterwards, Squidward finds a message from Santa on his doorstep, thanking him for his help and telling him that he's been a "good boy". He then sees the real Santa Claus (seen as a live action character) riding away in his sleigh. The dumbfounded Squidward says "Yep. I'm insane." and goes back inside, playing his new clarinet. After the SpongeBob episode ends, Patchy's house is seen again. Potty gives Patchy a little present. Patchy steps under a mistletoe, hoping to be kissed by a woman, only for Potty to start chasing after him with the intention of kissing him. Seeing that Patchy is busy at the moment, the French Narrator says "Goodnight, and Happy Holidays." for Patchy.

Trivia

this episode is sometimes used as a youtube poop (edited often potty mouthed videos of something) among common things done are photoshoping the word "BOMB" to the fruitcake, censoring and adjusting lines for example "all i want for christmas is for you to (bleeped explitive) my bottom.
On the Season Two DVD, Patchy's line at the beginning of the second half of the show, "It's about time you got back! Now I can finish me story," is cut due to there being no commercials on the DVD.
In the episode Jellyfishing when Squidward came home Patrick yelled Merry Christmas, but he did not know what Christmas was until this episode. This proves that Jellyfishing took place after this episode.
Cutting down a tree in someone else's yard, for Christmas or not is against the law, as it is destruction of private property.
Patchy is making SpongeBob and Patrick go to Christmas Island, a real territory of Australia.
This is the second time Squidward feels guilty about bullying Spongebob and apologizes to him. The first was Fools in April.
Nat potrays a women during "The very first christmas" sequence.
In this episode,one fish said I hope he can read Portugese. But it is unknown if he was heard speaking that language from Portugal.
In the Brazilian dubbing, the quote "I hope he can read Portuguese" was changed to "I hope he can understand my callygraphy", maybe because Portuguese is the language spoken in Brazil.
This is the first time SpongeBob appears on the title card. Later second will be WhoBob WhatPants and third Oral Report
Harold's Shirt and Speedos change from their normal White and Red colors, to Black in different scenes.
The title is a reduction on the holiday film Santa Who?.
The egg Potty gives Patchy for Christmas has green dots on it, A reference to a Yoshi egg from Super Mario series.
The reason Santa didn't come to Bikini Bottom is because the citizens didn't go to sleep, Santa only comes when you're asleep
If Squidward saw santa on his sleigh at the end, how could Santa breathe if he's under water? This could be why bikini bottom never heard about christmas exept for sandy since she is a land animal.

Errors

Although Santa traditionally has eight reindeer, only four are seen or possibly the other four are next to the four seen.
When SpongeBob gave Patrick his second sheet of paper, his shoes are green and you can see his shoes are through-seen to the floor.
At first, Patrick was on the coral tree but when it was daytime, he wasn't there anymore. Patrick must have fallen off the tree.
