Fa-La-La-La-Ed

"Fa, La, La, La, Ed" is the 25th episode of Season 2 and the 51st episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Ed spreads holiday cheer and mistletoe kisses at the height of summer.

Plot
Double D is chasing Ed and Eddy all over his house, and he finally corners them in his parent's bedroom, much to his fear and consternation. The bedroom is absolutely off limits to everyone, including Edd, nevermind Ed and Eddy. Despite his pleading for them to leave, Ed and Eddy go on a rampage in the room and end up in the closet. It is there that Ed finds Double D's ancestral family fruitcake and a box of Christmas decorations. Despite Edd and Eddy's rational explanation that it is in fact July, Ed goes into Christmas overdrive, brandishing mistletoe and spreading festive cheer to a bemused audience. At first frustrated with Ed's antics, Eddy is soon mollified by the revelation that it's "Piggy Bank Day" - when all the Kids smash open their piggies to spend the money inside. Eddy quickly comes up with a scam - for a fee, he and Edd will extract the money from the piggy banks without having to smash them. Ed, discovering this is a lie (the banks will be smashed anyway) exposes the deception and ruins the scam. When faced with the betrayed innocence of the wide-eyed kids, Double D breaks down in apologetic tears, but then succumbs to Ed's Christmas spirit at the coaxing of Jimmy. It's not long before all the other kids are under Ed's spell too, and Eddy is beside himself until he twigs that not only do the kids feel good, but they are also feeling generous. This is Eddy's second cue to cash in on the moment, and it all goes gloriously until Ed takes the spirit of giving just a bit too far for Eddy's liking.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Some interesting things inside Edd's parent's closet are a box marked "Umbrellas 1959-1982", a box labeled "Edd's Baby Clothes", and also boxes named "Friday", "Masking Tape", and "Extra Smoke Detectors."
 * The Piggy Bank Belly Pumper is seen once again in the Junkyard in the episode "Dueling Eds".
 * Early in the episode, Edd says "My blood sugar seems a tad low.", which hints that he may be a diabetic.
 * The Eds got more than one quarter from all the kids, but Eddy only bought eight jawbreakers and was still out of money.
 * When the top of the Piggy Bank Belly Pumper is seen before Ed takes it apart, the slot where the money would normally go changes positions.
 * When Eddy is spinning on Edd's parents' bedroom mirror, he yells "Jane, stop this crazy thing!" This is the catchphrase of George Jetson from "The Jetsons".
 * This is the first of two Christmas-themed episodes, the second being Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle.
 * Rolf who had no idea about Christmas in Jingle Jingle Jangle, seems to be more aware about the holiday in this episode.
 * Rolf only gives away one shoe, but when Ed is shown talking to him after his giveaways, there is no other shoe to be seen.
 * Rolf gives a yo-yo to Jonny, which is likely the same exact yo-yo that Ed traded to him in the episode "Who, What, Where, Ed."
 * If you notice carefully (well, not that carefully,) when Rolf is giving away stuff, you'll realize that he's got his underwear on only, yet he only gave away his shirt, pants, a shoe, and two other non-clothing related objects.

 * Double D informs Ed and Eddy that the second floor of his house is off-limits, but his room is on the second floor, and they play up in there frequently.

 * When Ed gives Jimmy a jawbreaker, you can see that it goes through Jimmy's retainer/brace and into his mouth.
 * Eddy does get only clothes for Christmas - this has been proven in Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle.
 * Ed's Christmas List:
 * A flying saucer
 * A pen and pencil set
 * 4 egg rolls
 * A subscription to Chunky Puff Quarterly
 * A box of Band-aids
