Waves of aliens move towards and attack Garfield’s house in an attempt to get to the food. Garfield Saves The Holidays gives you a whole selection of ways to stop those pesky E.T.’s from attacking. Spitting watermelon seeds, throwing pies, and summoning friends are some of the weapons that Garfield has at his disposal.
