 Big Bird is upset because Snuffy is in Cincinnati, celebrating with his grandmother, Maria and Luis are increasingly frustrated from a lack of work, Santa's elves have not had a vacation in months, and the other holidays like Easter and the Fourth of July are overtaken by Christmas.Oscar the Grouch, however, is the only one who enjoys it because he enjoys seeing how grouchy everyone is.By next year's Christmas, Sesame Street is in ruins, Count von Count is "all Christmassed out", the carolers have lost their voices, Christmas trees are an endangered species, Big Bird cries about Snuffy being gone for a whole year, the Fix-it Shop has gone out of business, and even Santa has retired to Florida.
