The story "The Gift of the Maccabees!" leads with a one page Itchy & Scratchy cartoon "The Gift That Keeps on Giving" leading to confusion about the story title, which never appears as a title but instead is quoted by Krusty and partially appears within a panel. The reprint in the Homer for the Holidays volume lists the title in the table of contents without the exclamation point.

The Free Gift Inside! referenced on the cover is a stiff cardboard photo frame that is attached in the centerfold after page 2 of the story Hot Cider in the City and is shown above on the right!

The Simpsons Winter Wingding annual is back with all-new stories, including: Bart's wish for it to be Christmas every day comes true, but it's not all mistletoe and candy canes; Professor Frink invents a machine that makes all New Year's resolutions come true; and Lisa finds it hard to commit to an anonymous Valentine. Throw in Otto's guide to snowboarding lingo, Bart and Ralph getting lost in the snow during a Junior Campers bobsled jamboree, and a brazen snowball assault on Springfield Elementary School's bullies, and you've got a doozy of a wingding to keep you laughing 'til Spring!
