Alice: Look, Petey! I've been cutting and gluing things from Christmas catalogs. Alice: By combining all my favorite toys, I've distilled my list for Santa in One Perfect Gift! Alice: See? It's a robot pony princes that unfolds into a tricycle with a drum kit attachment and a lightbulb for baking pie! Petey: You can't do that! You'll confuse Santa! His head will explode! Alice: What? Petey: Children everywhere will hate you if you make Santa's head explode. Alice: Okay, forget it! I guess Santa's not such a genius after all. Petey: And I'm sure he heard that. Alice: No! NO! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! Where's the microphone? Is this it? SANTA IS A GENIUS! A GENIUS!

Petey likes his Santa plain and simple, just as he’d prefer his own life to be. Could there be a connection, Alice?—And for the record: Yes, Santa is a GENIUS! (Okay, Santa?)

I so love that Alice does not listen to what Madison Avenue tells her she ought to like because she’s a little girl. She likes what she likes, with no thought of whether it’s for a princess or a space cowboy.
