The Spirit of Christmas is a series of two Christmas shorts created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The two shorts are entitled Jesus vs. Frosty and Jesus vs. Santa, which were released in 1992 and 1995 respectively. The [in]famous animated series South Park spawned from these shorts.In Jesus vs. Frosty, four boys who vaguely resemble the South Park main characters build a snowman, which comes to life when they put a hat on its head; unfortunately, it's Ax-Crazy, grows tentacles and kills proto-Cartman and proto-Kenny. The remaining two decide to ask Jesus (depicted as a baby with an adult Jesus' head) for help; he throws his halo like a boomerang at the snowman and knocks its hat off, rendering it lifeless.In Jesus vs. Santa, the style is much closer to South Park, with the boys all having their eventual names and looking like themselves. Here, an adult Jesus descends from the sky and asks they to take him to Santa Claus; sure enough, the local Mall Santa is the real thing, and the pair begin to fight about whether the true meaning of Christmas is religion or giving. Ultimately, the boys get advice from Brian Boitano and help the two reconcile.The shorts can be seen here and here; the latter can also be seen on the South Park The Hits: Volume 1 DVD, and, as a Mythology Gag, was featured in the plot of the episode "A Very Crappy Christmas." (Jesus vs. Frosty was briefly alluded to in "Simpsons Did It Already.") | |

Only Sane Man | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_24321e44 | comment |
While Stan has retained the Only Sane Man trait that defines him in this short, he's also much more calm and even-tempered nowadays, while here Proto-Stan seems to have a Hair-Trigger Temper to the point where he has more in common with the current Kyle than the current Stan. | |

Spoof Aesop: According to Stan, Christmas is about one very important thing: presents. | |

| The Spirit of Christmas / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Proto-Stan may be a little too foul-mouthed for his age, but he draws the line at saying the F-word in front of Baby Jesus, unlike Proto-Kyle. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Proto-Kyle is a textbook example, as he puts the hat on the snowman's head right after Proto-Stan warns him that it will make him come to life and kill them all. | |

Forgotten Fallen Friend | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_b901ef97 | comment |
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Like in the previous short, Kenny gets killed late through the second act, but Stan, Kyle, and Cartman carry on with their Christmas (or Hannukah) without paying his rat-infested corpse any mind. | |

It's All About Me: Both Santa and Jesus believe that Christmas is about them, which kickstarts their fight. They get better in the end thanks to Brian Boitano. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain: The snowman doesn't seem to have a motivation other than killing people, though he shows some intelligence when he disguises himself as Santa to lure the boys into a trap. | |

Insane Troll Logic: After everything he went through bringing that snowman to life and watching it kill two of his friends before it gets destroyed by Jesus, Proto-Kyle says he learned the true meaning of Christmas. Which is presents. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The introductory music is from "It Happened In Sun Valley", in the Twentieth Century-Fox Picture Sun Valley Serenade. The album "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" will later have Stan and Wendy perform a cover of the song. Jesus and Santa's battle uses music from Mortal Kombat 3. "There can be only one!" (said by Santa moments before the smackdown) The statue Kenny's head knocked over is a reference to Matt and Trey's Film/Orgazmo, only here it is a mirror image. A possibly unintentional one, but Jesus executes a The Three Stooges eye gouge to Santa. The scene when the statue falls on the children is very much like the scene at the end of the Monty Python opening credits in which the foot squishes the chicken/man. They both have very similar squishing sounds as well. The phrase "Come on, lumberboy!" is a reference to the fact that Jesus followed stepfather Joseph into carpentry. | |

The Nameless | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_cad57f30 | comment |
The actual Kenny is The Nameless in this short, and audibly speaks in an unmuffled voice despite still wearing his orange parka here. Both boys are portrayed as the victim of the They Killed Kenny Again Running Gag instead of just Kenny. | |

Hypocrite | |
| The Spirit of Christmas / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Jesus tells the boys that he loves all his children, but he doesn't blink when he accidentally kills three kids with a blow aimed for Santa. Furthermore, his search for retribution completely contradicts the "turn the other cheek" teachings he's famous for. Likewise, Santa claims that his goal is to bring happiness to children all over the world, before carelessly throwing a stunned Wendy off his lap to fight Jesus. Furthermore, during his fight with Jesus, he accidentally kills Kenny and three children bystanders with a blow aimed for Jesus. A minor example when Stan says that The Dreidel Song is stupid, when he was the one who told Kyle to sing Hannukah songs. | |
