Twas the night before Presidents Day and all through the homework.  Not a teacher was rolling not even a worm.  The children were floating all snug in their underwear while visions of brussel sprouts exploded in their butts. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my underwear to see what was the matter.  I knew in 5 seconds it must be Saint James.  With his Mini-Van and 100 tiny pilgrims named Dasher and Dancer and Ouch and Fore.  He filled all our stinky gym socks, then laying his butt aside of his private, up the chimney he farted.  But I heard him exclaim as he fell off the roof, Ouch!! I really hurt myself.

Fun Facts

Remarks

  • The "guy" Strong Bad is singing about is likely Jesus Christ, although the origins of Decemberween differ from those of Christmas.
  • Strong Sad looks much shorter in this than he usually is

Inside References

Real-World References

  • The entire toon is a reference to the 1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas special as evident from the '70s CBS "Special" logo and music, the auditorium with the single spotlight, and the "Copyright 1965 Free Country USA" at the ending screen.
  • The Title Tag on the page refers to Dolly Madison, the snack cake manufacturer that sponsored every Charlie Brown CBS special in the 1970s.
  • "God bless us every one!" is a quote from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
