HTF Episode Description
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a season themed episode! Happy Holidays!

Plot
On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus Lumpy comes down the chimney of an apartment and lays a present under a tree. The light turns on, much to his suspense. A tired Handy walks in the living room and spots his present under the tree. Lumpy peeps out of the fireplace in satisfaction.

Handy tries to open the gift, but fails. He bites on the ribbon and pulls it, only to tighten it. For the last resort, he bites onto a knife, but loses his grip and causes it to impale his foot. Panicking, Handy spots a saw in his toolbox. One floor below, Lumpy puts a gift under the Mole's tree. The Mole passes by and Lumpy is shocked at first. But as he sits on his couch, Lumpy realizes he is blind, and takes advantage of it by eating his cookies.

Back upstairs, Handy saws the floor underneath his foot, only to get himself stuck through the hole and cause the Mole's ceiling fan to decapitate Lumpy. A piece of his flesh crashes through the window, and another lands on the record player and it plays his screams in a loop. The Mole hears this and goes to stop the noise.

Handy bites on the ribbon of his gift to save him, but he and the gift are forced through the hole and his corpse lands on the Mole's firewood pile. The Mole stops his "record" from playing and feels the cold come in from his window. He throws Handy's corpse in the fireplace. He walks back to his couch, however he slips on Lumpy's flesh and gets cut by the glass of his window. His head slices off and lands on a snowman.

The wind blows away the wrapping of Handy's gift, revealing his gift to be a pair of winter gloves.
