The house is buzzing with good cheer this time of year.
And it's not just because it's time for Lana's
Semi-Semi Annual Bath.
Ah yeah!
I take it you enjoyed your bath?
Yeah! It's worth being clean to see how brown the water got.
But the best part was this! I found it in the drain.
Can I keep him?
Sure.
Wee! Ha-ha-ha!
It means Christmas is almost here.
And that means present planning.
And as the resident man with the plan, I'm great at gift giving.
That is, when I don't wait
until the last minute and the mall closes.
[groaning]
Yes, it's open! I've still got time.
Attention shoppers, the Royal Woods Mall is now closed.
I'm sure your loved ones will understand
how badly you messed up.
Merry Christmas!
Well, that's not happening this year.
New Year. New plan.
A great plan. Something that says...
Lincoln Loud doesn't forget to give presents to his family.
While I look around the house for inspiration,
I'll be thinking about some classic Loud Family
gift giving memories, starting with Bobby's Christmas surprise.
Wait, I still have one more.
I saved the best for last.
[squealing]
Merry Christmas, babe.
[gasping]
Boo Boo Bear?
I couldn't find anything good enough to buy you
for our first Christmas together.
So, I decided to give you myself.
Oh.
That's literally, the perfect gift.
Oh! I got you a present too!
I hope it's food and water.
Lola also tries to convince us every year
that her presence is our present.
It's not very convincing.
Oh, maybe I could do some sort of party,
but those don't always go as planned.
Okay, she's coming. Everyone hide.
Leni, what are you doing?
Shhh! I'm hiding for your surprise party.
[sighing]
Siblings. I am perplexed as to why I have just received
an invitation to my own surprise birthday party.
Oh! I sent that. I wanted to make sure you do there.
[groaning]
Luna,
should I wear the pink or blue dress to your surprise party?
- Dude! - What?
I pink you just blue the surprise!
[laughing]
Get it? But seriously, you ruined it.
Lucky for us, Leni surprised us all
and gave us this unforgettable gift giving moment.
I guess I'll put my key in and open the front door now!
[gasping]
Mom's here!
Surprise!
[gasping]
Oh my goodness!
Happy birthday, Mom!
Oh, Kids, you've really outdone yourselves.
Look at these decorations.
You remembered violet is my favorite color.
And do I smell pad tai?
Yep. And German chocolate cake for dessert.
Thank you so much, Kids.
This is the perfect party.
Actually, you should think, Leni.
We tried to do this without her, but it was a disaster.
What do you mean? You tried to do it without me?
Uh. Yeah. We're sorry, Leni.
We were afraid you'd spoil the surprise.
We didn't realize you're the only one of us
thoughtful enough to make a party really special.
In fact, from now on, how would you like to be
our official party planner?
Yay! Thanks, you guys.
You hear that, Dad? I'm planning your surprise party next.
But don't worry. I'll send you an invitation.
Leni was so close.
Speaking of surprises, it was right in this room
that I opened a present from Ronnie Anne.
That's the last time I do that again.
Well, the good news is your package finally arrived.
Cool. Hey, could you open it for me?
I want to make sure it's not damaged
[laughing]
Oh man.
That cost me $25 bucks, but it was so worth it.
Smile later, Lame-O.
Ugh, Ronnie Anne!
Hmm. Maybe I can repurpose something here in the attic.
I wonder if anybody wants my old clothes for Christmas.
Wahoo! Watch out! Number one baby boy comin' through!
Lincoln, that shirt is way too small for you!
And that tricycle is falling apart!
What? No way.
The handlebars are a little loose,
but she still drives like a dream.
And look, here's the stain from my very first flippy.
Alright, I think we've seen enough.
On second thought, maybe I should go
with something more homemade.
Like the present we got Dad for his birthday.
[crying]
Hey, Dad?
We're so sorry we ruined your birthday.
What are you talking about?
You kids gave me with the best gift ever.
A scrapbook?
Yeah. I'm sorry, I opened it before you got home.
Cliff dragged it in here and blew your big surprise.
So, you like it?
I love it!
[crying]
It reminds me of all the great memories we've made together.
N-nothing could beat that.
That scrapbook was way better than our backup.
This is actually pretty fun!
Daddy would not like this.
Yeah. Dad's very sensitive to, uh, whatever this is.
Sorry, Flip. We're going to pass.
[grunting]
No problem. It's not for everybody.
Here's a bill for the test run.
There's a customer survey on the bottom,
and I'd sure appreciate a five star rating.
The living room, home to my unbroken muscle
fish fighter high score and our secret Santa exchange.
So many great presents, and so many ugly sweaters.
One of my favorite secret Santa
gifts I ever gave was right over there.
Lola, open your gift.
[gasping]
Wow, Lincoln!
These are the prettiest earrings ever!
They're so gorgeous, I don't even care
they smell kind of funny.
They must've cost a fortune!
They were totally worth it.
And now that Lily is old enough,
she participates in secret Santa, too.
I think everyone's going to be fighting
for a Lily present this year.
Huh?
[gasping]
Amazing!
Thanks, Lily.
I love it.
Merry Christmas, Lincoln.
Good presents can come from anywhere or anyone.
Like if you've been really good all year,
you might get a visit from all Santy Flip.
Just be sure to leave out a plate of nacho cheese
and beef jerky before bed.
Flip, what's going on?
Please, it's Santy Flip.
And I got goodies here for everybody.
Here you go, Skipper.
Get that bad boy in the oven toots sweet.
From the Gobblesworth Farm? Appears to be legitimate.
[gasping]
Hmm.
So that's what happened to her.
Hey, uh, can I have that label?
Here you go.
Hey, thanks for the turkey, Flip.
So, I heard something about goodies?
Wow, look at all this stuff.
Yeah!
Eh.
You did good, Flip, old boy.
It feels nice to give back once in a while.
Whoa! The Flippee Machine?
This is totally the best gift ever!
Eh. Ooh.
O'l Santy Flip got a bit caught up in the moment.
I didn't mean to uh...
- Bring it in guys. - Merry Christmas, everybody.
Ah heck.
Merry Christmas to us all.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
I gotta ask Flip
when he's bringing back my Flippee Machine.
He said he had to take it home and fix it.
And now that I'm saying that out loud,
I realize I'm never getting back.
Dang it.
Well, all this present talk
made me remember my all time favorite gift giving moment!
Merry Christmas, Mr. Grouse.
We all chipped in and got you something.
It's a bus ticket.
So you can go see your family for Christmas tomorrow!
And since you can't be with them tonight,
we're bringing our family to you.
How about it, neighbor?
Louds!
You've made this the best Christmas ever.
Thank you.
I'd say you all landed permanent spots on Santa's Nice list.
Even me?
Even you.
Once again...
[crying]
Dad's probably just cutting Christmas onions again.
What a picture perfect look at some classic
Loud gift giving moments.
[gasping]
Wait. Picture perfect.
That's it!
I'll update our family portrait
I made for Mom and Dad for their anniversary.
Here's to hoping it goes smoother than last time.
Okay, that's it!
Leni, scooch to the left.
Your other left.
Perfect!
Someone grab lily!
Thank you. Good.
Just gotta set the timer and...
everybody say cheese!
Cheese!
When is it gonna flash? My jaw's cramping up.
Give it a second.
I knew you'd blow it. Let's do selfies instead.
- Totes! - No, wait! No, eee!
I knows just what this picture needs!
Come on, Luann! You can't wear those in the photo!
Oh, don't be such a groucho!
What this photo needs, are some tunes.
No, no, no. Photographs don't sound!
You're ruining the picture!
Maybe you should take off that gross hat!
Maybe you should take off that gross face!
Lily! Where is your diaper?
Guys, please! Can we all just settle down?
Happy holidays, everyone!
