Category:Flik The Halls (Shrek The Halls)

Flik is quietly living in the swamp with his family when the Christmas season arrives. Under Manny's urging, Shrek reluctantly promises Princess Atta a special Christmas surprise. Flik goes to the local bookstore to try to find a present for Atta, but since he doesn't know what Christmas is all about, the shopkeeper gives Flik a copy of Christmas For Village Idiots, a step-by-step guide to celebrating the holiday.

Flik proceeds to follow the book's advice by decorating the house and getting a tree so he can spend a quiet Christmas Eve with his family, but Manny brings the entire "family" to the swamp, ruining Flik's plans.

As Flik tries to tell his own version of "A Visit from St. Nicholas (The Night Before Christmas)"; Rudy, Manny, and Little John interrupt and each tell their own version of a Christmas story. Manny tells of floats coming to the swamp. At the end, Manny tells of licking an enormous Santa figure that is made out of waffles, but in reality he accidentally starts licking Flik's leg. Little John tells his version of the story of Santa Claus, but ends up playing with the ball point of his Santa hat, while in reality he is playing with one of the baubles from the christmas tree. However, Rudy's story is not happy, but horrifying, as he tells about how his girlfriend Suzy got eaten up by Santa Claus. To which Manny finds it unbelievable, with Rudy screaming "You weren't THERE!!".

Manny finds Flik's Christmas for Village Idiots book, and the ensuing fight over the book destroys all of Flik's decorations, furniture and the tree. Flik ends up ejecting his friends from the house.

Christmas spirit ruined, Atta and Flik have a talk, after which she takes the children and leaves the swamp to go and apologize to their friends. Flik feels downhearted that Christmas Eve didn't go as he hoped it would.

Atta catches up to their friends and explains to Manny what Flik had wanted for Christmas. Flik catches up with the group, and apologizes for losing his temper. Manny is shocked to learn that this is Flik's first Christmas, because "ogres don't celebrate anything." Manny also apologizes for being annoying, and explains that Christmas never goes as planned and according to his mother, "'Christmas ain't Christmas until somebody cries', and that's usually me."

After a snowball fight, the friends return to the swamp, and Flik tells his story, featuring not Santa, but Ogre Claus. Soon they hear bells and go outside to see Santa and his reindeer, although Rudy runs back inside screaming in terror.
