While playing Santa on the roof, avowed Christmas hater Jorge takes a fall that results in him waking up every Christmas with no memories of what happened since the last Christmas.

Teu avô disse que eu ainda ia descobrir pra que serve o Natal. Foi você, né, sue velho?

He did it! Two days ago he said I’d find out what Christmas is all about! You cursed me, didn’t you, old man?
