The holidays have arrived.
What better way to celebrate than parodying one of the Friends holiday episodes?
This one continues the fun of parodying season 7 with episode 10, "The One With the Holiday Armadillo".
Lincoln and his sisters were working on a Kwanzaa package for the McBride family. The siblings created a fruit basket, made some corn on the cob, decorated a Kwanzaa poster and designed a mat for them to lay on.
"Do you think Clyde and his dads will love what we made?" Leni asked.
Luna answered, "I hope so. Now, all we need are holiday outfits to wear when we head over there".
Lynn Junior suggested, "let's take a break to find some".
At the mall, they found a store to step inside.
The store owner said hi and asked, "are you here to return that dress?"
"No," Leni said. "I made this dress. However, we need outfits that resemble Santa and his elves".
"With a few days to go before Kwanzaa?" The store owner asked. "Sorry guys".
The siblings understood.
Before walking off, Lana asked, "what other holiday outfits do you have?"
The only things available were animal outfits. For the Loud siblings, it was animal outfits or nothing.
Back at the Loud House, their parents couldn't believe what the kids were wearing.
"Reindeer?" Lynn Senior Loud asked.
"Not just reindeer," Luan said. "Squirrels, Kangaroos, frogs and cheetahs. It's a holiday zoo pack no one will forget".
"Okay," Rita Loud said. "How's the Kwanzaa package coming, guys?"
"We're just about finished," Lola told them. "Clyde and the McBrides are gonna be so happy."
"I know," Lincoln said. "It feels awesome giving something this merry to black friends".
"Black?" Leni asked. "You know what I mean," Lincoln said.
It was only a few minutes later when they finally got the Kwanzaa gifts boxed up and ready to be delivered to the McBride family.
"Alright, animal buddies," Lynn Senior said. "Let's go!"
With that, the Louds went over to the McBride home.
The second they arrived, Lincoln knocked on the door. Clyde came to open it. Lincoln and Clyde said hi to each other.
Clyde then asked, "reindeer?"
"Not just reindeer," Luan told Clyde. "Squirrels, Kangaroos, frogs and cheetahs. It's a holiday zoo pack no one will forget".
"Okay," Clyde said. "Come on in".
The Loud siblings helped Clyde set the Kwanzaa area up as Howard and Harold McBride came in.
"Happy Holidays Father and Daddy McBride," the Loud family said.
"And an extra happy Kwanzaa indeed," Lincoln said.
"Thanks," Harold said. "But why are you dressed as animals?"
Clyde told them, "it's like a holiday animal parade just for us".
Lisa then asked, "do you guys wanna hear about the first Kwanzaa holiday?"
"We would love to," Howard said.
Lisa then said, "then sit down on the mat we made and I'll get spilling".
Everyone found a comfy spot to sit.
Through a series of pictures, Lisa told everyone, "the first Kwanzaa celebration was on December 26, 1966, in Long Beach, California. It followed a bunch of riots that broke out because Black people were in near maximum despair. The riots left 34 people dead, 1,000 people were injured, and there was $40 million worth of property . Maulana Karenga, a former black activist and chair of African studies at California State University at Long Beach, was deeply disturbed by the aftermath and the racial tension during that time; he wanted to find a way to bring healing to the community That activist wanted to create a holiday that celebrate family and community, and thus, Kwanzaa was born".
Everyone thought Lisa told the story very well.
"Wow," Lincoln said. "Black people have been through a lot since then".
Luna then said, "and yet, when the time comes, they sure know how to make a difference in their own communities".
Both the Loud and McBride families were in unanimous agreement.
Later that evening, the Loud siblings have changed back into their normal clothes.
Everyone at the McBrides' house was enjoying some fried chicken, corn on the cob and fruit flavored drinks.
Clyde commented, "you know, it makes me feel sorry for all the Black people who lost their lives for many reasons outside our control".
"Me too," Lynn Senior said.
"Well," Leni said. "That's why we celebrate everything they've done for America".
Lincoln commented, "you said it Leni. A toast to every single difference Black people made over the years".
Howard added, "and may they continue making a difference in every community around the world".
"Cheers!" everyone said.
The gang continued with the dinner they were enjoying.
What a time that was. Don't you agree?
Happy holidays to all and to all a goodnight.
