Author's Note: Now, I'm a little wary about this story, so bear with me. This could either be another hit, or end up being one weird puppy of a fanfic. This story is based on this cute little animated Christmas movie I saw called Christmas is Here Again! I loved it so much; I had to write a story based on it. Also, one word of advice: if you don't know about the computer game The Neverhood or the website Homestar Runner, go to Wikipedia and YouTube and look them up before reading the story. If you don't, you might not know what's going on; characters from both series play big parts in the story. And…here I am, leaving a long Author's Note. So, I guess without further ado, (hopefully) happy reading! ;)-AMX

Decemberween is Here Again!

Prologue: He's the Decemberween Thnikkaman, and he'll make your dreams come true

Many years ago, there was a joyous holiday that occurred fifty-five days after Halloween. This holiday was known as Decemberween, and everyone loved it. It brought families together, homes were brightly decorated, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Everyone loved Decemberween.

But the best part of Decemberween was who came every Decemberween Eve. His name was the Decemberween Thnikkaman, a creature with a bright blue head and big teeth. He also had an orange body with flipper arms, a green belt, and gray legs and feet. On his head, he wore a pair of white sunglasses, and on his chest was a taped-on piece of paper with "tH" written on it in big, red letters. He flew through the night in an unmarked van, leaving presents for every person in the world. Everyone knew the Decemberween Thnikkaman, and every Decemberween, they sang carols about him.

He's the Decemberween Thnikkaman
And he'll make your dreams come true
No, there ain't no beatin' that holiday feelin'
When he says "shut up" to you!

But there was one mystery surrounding the Decemberween Thnikkaman: how was he able to carry presents for every single person in the world?

The solution to the mystery was this: the Decemberween Thnikkaman had a special burlap sack he carried. It wasn't just any old burlap sack; it was rumored to be a sack originally created by Hoborg, a cubic, crown-wearing magician. The sack's seemingly mystical properties made it seem bottomless, which allowed the Decemberween Thnikkaman to carry presents for every person in the world with great ease.

There was a catch, though. The sack was the only way the Decemberween Thnikkaman could carry all those presents. He and his workers could make all the presents they wanted, but without the sack, Decemberween just couldn't happen. Of course, this had never been an issue before. Nobody had to worry about the sack disappearing.

Which made it all the more shocking when one year, the magical burlap sack did disappear.

Well, not so much disappear as…it was stolen.

Not too many people know this, but near the center of this world is an inhabitant who wanted nothing more than to stop Decemberween. He is a red creature, with long claws, a horribly deformed face with mismatched eyes, and a tattered brown outfit. His name is Klogg. In actuality, Klogg also played a part in Decemberween: he and his minions, the Crit Units, were the suppliers of the coal given to naughty people. However, Klogg had been through a lot of Decemberweens throughout the years, and he was slowly realizing something: compared to the number of presents the Decemberween Thnikkaman was giving out, he was barely giving out any coal!

Needless to say, Klogg was a little upset by this revelation. And he decided that if he couldn't enjoy Decemberween, nobody could.

So, on year, on Decemberween Eve, before the Decemberween Thnikkaman was scheduled to take his flight, Klogg snuck into the Decemberween Thnikkaman's fabled workshop, quiet as a mouse…and stole the fabled burlap sack. Somehow, he was able to make it in and out of the workshop without being detected.

When the Decemberween Thnikkaman realized his special sack was missing, he was shocked. And he was at a loss. He had no idea who had taken the sack, and there was no other way to carry all the presents, except with the sack! How could Decemberween happen if the presents couldn't be delivered?!

Well, as it turned out…the Decemberween Thnikkaman couldn't figure out a way to deliver the presents. So, in short, Decemberween just didn't happen that year.

Which was exactly as Klogg planned.

The people expectedly waiting for the Decemberween Thnikkaman to appear that year were thoroughly disappointed. But, they didn't give up hope. The next year, they expectedly waited again.

But the Decemberween Thnikkaman still didn't show.

Year after year, everyone waited for the Decemberween Thnikkaman to appear to deliver presents for Decemberween. But year after year, he didn't come.

As the years went by, the Decemberween Thnikkaman figured out that Klogg was behind the disappearance of his burlap sack. But Klogg was not about to give the sack up; he was having too much fun!

The years began to pile up; soon, the years without Decemberween turned into decades. Before anyone knew it, a century had passed without Decemberween.

By this time, Decemberween was no longer celebrated. There were no more presents, no more Decemberween Thnikkaman, no motivation to be together.

The holiday of Decemberween was rendered nothing more than a legend.

And that's where our story really begins…
