"Unfortunately, the other part of the Bad Guys' plan was still very much not working"

"Giving is hard!" Wolf grunted, trying and failing to drop the present he was holding. It was so hard to let go of it that Wolf wondered if it might be magnetically attached to his hand.

"How hard Can it be" princess says.

As soon as he was able to pry one hand off the loot, his other hand reached out and grabbed it.

"How does Santa do this?"

"I personally think it's because he's good hearted" shark says who had princess on his lap.

"It's because he had someone who believed in him, someone who loved him, children who cared about him, we didn't have anyone to show us any love like they did with Santa, we didn't have a child that care for us"

Snake sighed. "Yeah, it takes a real weirdo to let go of that much loot. C'mon, we'll do it together."

The two buddies headed back into the house, knowing they had to leave their gifts, or all the other parts of the new plan would have been for nothing. Wolf and Snake slid into the house together.

Somehow; with a lot of pain and difficulty, they finally managed to drop the gifts and run. As soon as they were out, they fist-tail-bumped, then raced back to their gift-filled getaway car to grab more loot.

"See, all it took was some Baby steps"

It obviously wasn't going to get any easier to give rather than take, but this crew never gave up on a good plan. No matter how hard it was to get it done.

Meanwhile, back in the heart of the city, Piranha had started to run out of verses in his original Christmas tune. "Doo wah doo," he crooned.

At that moment, Webs hit the last keystroke on her computer and pressed play on her holiday playlist. The musical notes of favorite Christmas songs flowed out of speakers all over the city.

Outside the building with the charred Santa face, even Santa suddenly looked a little jollier now that it sounded more like the holidays.

As pedestrians wandered by, some folks paused to look up and wonder: Is that burned-up Santa balloon smiling?

"Is Christmas un-canceled?" Tiffany Fluffit barked into her microphone. "After the unexpected carols and some secret Santas leaving presents all through the city, holiday spirit is up. But is it enough to fill the Big Nick-sized hole in our hearts? Stay tuned to find out."
