Previous EotM
#1 - Scott Tenorman Must Die
#2 - Korn's Groovy Pirate Mystery
#3 - Cartman Joins NAMBLA

Synopsis:
Spoiler: show
Stan asks his parents for permission to go to Cartman's grandmother's house in Nebraska for the holidays, but is denied, then sent to his room for refusing to eat dinner. Feeling disillusioned with the idea of family, he runs off to Cartman's house just in time to join the other boys. Along the way to his Grandma's house, Cartman and his mother sing, driving the other boys crazy. They also see a sign for an appearance of Mr. Hankey in a mall near where Cartman's grandmother lives. Cartman's relatives are there, all of whom share Cartman's mannerisms. At dinner, they meet Cartman's Uncle Howard, live via satellite from the state prison. Later that night, the boys hear someone breaking into the house and discover that it is Uncle Howard and another inmate, Charles Manson.

The boys want to go to the mall to see Mr. Hankey, but no one in the family will take them. Cartman is asked to keep an eye on his cousin Elvin. Looking for action, Manson offers to take the boys to the mall. At the "Mall of Nebraska" Kenny goes off with Manson to a secluded part of the mall and Cartman disciplines his cousin Elvin. Meanwhile, Manson has become obsessed with holiday specials and takes time out to watch The Grinchie-poo. Kyle and Stan meet "Mr. Hankey", whom Kyle exposes as a fake and a riot breaks out. The boys (and Manson) escape from the mall when the riot police recognize Manson, and they get into a televised high speed chase with the police.

Back at the Cartman household, Manson arrives and together with Uncle Howard proceeds to hold everyone hostage. Stan's parents arrive and express their disappointment (and anger) in him. Stan asks to make an escape with Uncle Howard and Manson. Uncle Howard says he can, but Manson talks to him about the meaning of family, which makes him change his mind. Kenny is shot dead by the police, but Manson and Uncle Howard surrender and sing a holiday-special style song. Stan's parents agree that they were unreasonable when denying him a Christmas with his friends, so they tell him to come back home for Christmas and that they will hold off punishing him until after Christmas. Later it Charles Manson is seen in jail reading to the other inmates. After being ignored by the prisoners for reading his new book and puts them on the shelf with the others and goes to sleep when all of the Cartmans, Stan, Kyle appear to sing to Charles "Hark the Herald Angel" sing during the credits.


Kenny's Dad: "Now remember, if they have any leftover turkey make sure to put it in a bag and bring it home with you"

Welcome to Nebraska......sorry.

Mrs. Cartman, did Stanley go to Nebraska with you?
Why yes he did. Say Sharon, I thought you were dead. Stan told us you had passed on, but I'm glad to see you're better now!

We're being told that Charles Manson has taken children hostage and is now involved in a high speed chase with police. We'd also like to take the chance to tell you that this high speed chase is being brought to you by Snacky Smores

It was alright, but I also think it's the weakest of the Christmas eps.
