Story[]

- “If you're a deadbeat dad, that's all you have to do: save your child from terrorists.”
—Elliott @16:45

Elliott: (sung) Flop House Movie Mail Bag/It's a bag of mail that we found under a bridge/These letters are addressed to Santa but we'll answer them anyway/Santa, if you're listening, here's what they want for Christmas (for Christmas)/Santa here's the mail bag Stuart: (sung) I'm Santa and I hear you Elliott/Where are those letters you told me about? Elliott: (sung) We've got them here in a bag/It's a mail bag, a mail bag of letters for Santa and us/But they're ours now and it's gonna cost ya, fat man, if you want these letters from the mailbag you lost under a bridge/Whaddya say to that, Kringle? Stuart: (sung) How DARE you, weird Elliott kid?/Why are you wearing a beanie with a propeller on it? Elliott: (sung) 'Cause I'm a kid and that's what kids wear while we're eating Go-Gurt and riding our skateboards with slingshots Dan: I think that this isn't setting up the segment properly. Elliott: (sung) For Christmas I want some chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs in the Flop House Mail Bag (Flop House Mail Bag! Reading Rainbow!) Stuart: Wow, that one was great!
