[[File:S3E23_5.png|thumb|left|278px|[[Handy]] needs to find a way to open his presents.]]
 
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 surprise. 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 a last resort, he bites onto a knife to cut the present open, but loses his grip and causes it to impale his foot, apparently making him unable to move. Panicking, [[Handy]] spots a saw in his toolbox. The floor below, [[Lumpy]] puts a gift under [[The Mole|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 on the upper floor, [[Handy]] saws the floor underneath his foot in order to get rid of the knife, only to get himself stuck through the hole and cause [[The Mole|The Mole's]] ceiling fan to decapitate [[Lumpy]]. Pieces of [[Lumpy]] fly into every corner of the room, shattering a window, and one landing on a phonograph, which plays [[Lumpy|Lumpy's]] screams in a continuous loop. [[The Mole]] hears this and goes to stop the noise.

==Trivia==
 
 
#[[Handy|Handy's]] tools change place once.
*The phrase "No Time Like The Present" means it is better to do something right now than later.
 
 
#The saw was at least one meter away from [[Handy]], so it is unknown how he could even reach it. However, [[Handy]] has shown many times that he is able to complete tasks as long as they take place off-screen.
*This the first episode to show Handy's house from the outside, though the inside is nothing like the one in ''[[Shard at Work]]''. The Mole is also seen living in the same building. It is possible that the building that Handy and The Mole share is an apartment.
 
  +
#When [[Handy]] saws the hole, the saw he used falls through the hole he cut, but throughout the episode the saw is never seen on [[The Mole|The Mole's]] floor.
*Handy's death is similar to Lumpy's death in ''[[Milkin' It]]'', since both deaths involve a characters head being forced through a small space.
 
  +
#When [[Handy|Handy's]] body starts to get stuck in the hole, his tail disappears.
*Every death in this episode involves the head.
 
  +
#[[Lumpy]] should have died at the same time [[Handy|Handy's]] body started sinking into the hole, but he is still alive for a few seconds.
*This is the last episode of 2012; the next episode, ''[[By The Seat Of Your Pants]]'', would air two and a half months later.
 
  +
#[[The Mole]] somehow doesn't hear any of the audible sounds [[Lumpy]] makes until he's killed by the ceiling fan.
*This marks the third time a character is dressed up like Santa. The first was [[Lifty]] in ''[[Easy For You to Sleigh]]'', the second was [[Pop]] in ''[[Clause For Concern]]''.
 
 
#[[The Mole|The Mole's]] mole changes place 3 times.
*This marks the third time that The Mole is decapitated. The first was in ''[[Home Is Where the Hurt Is]]'' and the second was in ''[[All In Vein]]''.
 
 
#When [[Handy|Handy's]] body falls through the ceiling his foot is no longer connected to the fan.
*Like ''[[Bottled Up Inside]]'', this episode's trailer shows a character's injury despite the episode itself not being fully released.
 
  +
# [[Handy|Handy's]] body, being bloody and squishy after falling through the hole, should not have caught on fire as quickly as it did.
*[[Truffles]] appears behind a tree when The Mole's head lands on a snowman.
 
  +
*The song heard on The Mole's record player is Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, and Lumpy singing "O, Christmas Tree" (which can be heard in the short ''[[Oh Xmas Tree]]'').
 
*Handy's gift references the joke that Handy usually has to do stuff involving hands or gets stuff that involves hands.
 
*The Blurb edition of ''[[Shard at Work]]'' was released on YouTube the same day this episode aired.
 
*When The Mole is watching TV, you can hear what sounds like a human voice being played in reverse.
 
*In Handy's apartment, there are pictures of tools and in The Mole's, there are upside-down pictures of [[Generic Tree Friends]].
 
*This episode is similar to ''[[Brake the Cycle]]'' as both episodes star a beaver character, both episodes are season 3 episodes, both starring characters receive a painful injury, Lumpy is a featuring character in both cases, and a victim to the starring character, a mute character has a death that involves their head (The Mole here, Mime in Brake the Cycle), the YouTube thumbnails both spoil something, no female characters appear, one character with an appearance role survives (Truffles here, Cro-Marmot in Brake the Cycle) and the beaver character causes each characters death.
 
*These non-Christmas related items can be seen on The Mole's Christmas tree:
 
**a pair of scissors
 
**a spoon
 
**a chicken leg
 
**a pencil
 
**a spatula
 
*This episode was uploaded on YouTube before ''[[Bottled Up Inside]]'' despite the latter airing first.
 
*Handy's starring card in this episode is different from his starring card in ''[[I Nub You]]''. The "H" is blue instead of orange and the trees are absent.
 
*Handy, The Mole and Lumpy die in the reverse order they do in ''[[Don't Yank My Chain]]'', ''[[Concrete Solution]]'' and ''[[A Hole Lotta Love]]''.
 
*There are no female characters in this episode. Giggles' voice can be heard in the record player; however, the song is from ''[[Oh Xmas Tree]]'', and therefore doesn't count.
 
*No one survives in this episode. Truffles' cameo does not count.
 
*Handy's death is similar to [[Cuddles]]' injury in ''[[Class Act]]''.
 
*The YouTube thumbnail spoils Handy's injury before death.

Overview


No Time Like the Present is an episode of Happy Tree Friends, the twenty-third episode of Internet Season 3, and 77th episode overall.

HTF Episode Description

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

Plot

S3E23 5

Handy needs to find a way to open his presents.

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 surprise. 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 a last resort, he bites onto a knife to cut the present open, but loses his grip and causes it to impale his foot, apparently making him unable to move. Panicking, Handy spots a saw in his toolbox. The 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 on the upper floor, Handy saws the floor underneath his foot in order to get rid of the knife, only to get himself stuck through the hole and cause The Mole's ceiling fan to decapitate Lumpy. Pieces of Lumpy fly into every corner of the room, shattering a window, and one landing on a phonograph, which plays Lumpy's screams in a continuous loop. The Mole hears this and goes to stop the noise.

S3E23 22

The Mole is completely unaware of the chaos that happened in his apartment.

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 puts it on to some Christmas music. He feels the cold come in from his window, of course, The Mole then throws Handy's corpse in the fireplace. He walks back to his couch, however he slips on a piece of Lumpy's flesh and gets stabbed through the neck by the shattered glass of his window. His head slices off and lands on top of a half-made snowman.

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