The town opens its heart to the family, only to turn on them when the truth is discovered. -GRIFT OF THE MAGI Bart is confined to a wheelchair and Springfield Elementary must construct ramps accessible to him. To pay for the construction, a corporation takes over the school and uses the children to design the nest must-have Christmas toy. -SHE OF LITTLE FAITH Homer and BAart collaborate on a model rocket which destroys The First Church of Springfield. To raise money for repairs, the church sells advertising space, outraging Lisa - who becomes a Buddhist, with the help of guest star Richard Gere.
