Over at Marzipan, Homestar shows up with his last-minute gift for Marzipan: a set of wire cutters. Just as Strong Bad is about to scold him for it("Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents!"), it turns out wire cutters are just what Marzipan needs for "freeing baby seals from the crab traps down by the wharfs."

Homestar does some ''very'' last-minute Decemberween shopping, and ends up getting people crummy discount gifts.

to:

Homestar does awakens on a lovely winter's day... or rather, a lovely winter's evening. Not only did he sleep in on the day he was supposed to go Decemberween gift shopping, it's actually ''10 PM on Decemberween night''. With only two hours of Decemberween left, Homestar rushes out the door (in such a hurry he leaves the house "naked, somehow") to do some ''very'' last-minute last minute shopping.

Over at the house of the Brothers Strong, Strong Mad bonds with his new pet rock "Tony Stony" and Strong Bad shows off his "Grabbo Arm" with a little help from The Cheat.

Meanwhile, Homestar passes by Homsar, collecting "alms for the pudgy", and pauses to make use of the "complimentary spit bucket" before dashing off to the only store that could possibly be open at this hour: Bubs' Concession Stand. There, he raids a cardboard box of "Aught-Four Crap" for such choice gifts as electrical tape for Pom Pom and a rusty steak knife for Coach Z.

Speaking of Coach Z, he's enjoying a TV dinner and answering a phone call from his parents, assuring them that he's enjoying a turkey dinner with "gravied yams and stuffinged ham", that he's not alone, and that he's not pretending to talk to them with an unplugged phone. Then to drive the point home, Coach Z finds out the hard way that he forgot to pay his electric bill.

Back at the Concession Stand, Homestar considers some wax fruit "for the Poopsmith who has everything", and decides he doesn't need to get anything for Strong Sad, who's busy with his
Decemberween shopping, tradition of getting locked in the bathtub and ends passing the time singing showtunes to himself.

It's about getting people ''good'' presents!"), it turns out wire cutters are just what Marzipan needs for "freeing baby seals from the crab traps down by the wharfs."

->'''Strong Bad:''' Well, shut my mouth!\\
'''Homestar:''' Well well, Strong-O Bad-O. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes (''extends his Grabbo Arm, which comes back holding a handbag'') and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.\\
'''Homestar:''' No skin off my back.\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar.\\
'''Homestar:''' There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!\\
(''Homestar starts running around freaking out in the background'')\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this. Seriously, like until New Years'... (''fade to black, beat'') I didn't know we had any wharfs.
