Ed Bighead sees this and says that if there's anything he hates more than Christmas, it's elves. Rocko decides to invite the elves to his Christmas party and they accept. Rocko says he would love for it to snow, but the head elf says they lost Mitch in a blizzard. The head elf introduces his children, all of whom are named after tools (except for one named Mango), and tells Rocko about Mitch, the three-legged elf who was the last one to make it snow. Inside, Rocko discovers that they are all elves and working on new toys, including a robot Santa Claus who almost kills him with his eye lasers.
When Rocko brings him home, they are greeted by the elf's father, a sarcastic older elf who invites them inside.
Rocko sees this and comes to the elf's rescue. The elf whom Rocko encountered earlier attempts to purchase some shoes, but he is harassed by the business clerks. (The tree is apparently alive before Heffer cuts it down.) At the mall, Spunky wants to sit on Fruitcakeman's lap, but Rocko tells him the line is too long. Rocko purchases a tree from Heffer and Filburt, who are working as salesmen. The elf is shy and initially runs away, but then secretly follows Rocko. Along the way, he encounters an elf who is one of the new neighbors he tells the little guy that he's welcome to the party. After delivering the invitations, he goes to the mall for supplies. After some hesitation, Rocko gladly allows them to. Rocko invites Heffer and Filburt, but they end up inviting their families and friends. Ed notices the moving van and tells Bev that he won't tolerate the new neighbors. His wife Bev tells him to lighten up and enjoy Christmas for once. Meanwhile, Rocko's grouchy neighbor, Ed Bighead, is glad that there isn't going to be any snow. This inspires Rocko to go buy some Christmas decorations and invite his friends Heffer and Filburt for a Christmas party, and he assures his dog Spunky that it will be the best Christmas ever - at which point it starts raining. As Rocko recovers from that, he suddenly notices a moving van loaded with Christmas decorations. He brings his sled out, but the anthropomorphic cloud above his house can only produce one flake, which hits him in the eye. They were perfect for the job.It is December in O-Town, and Rocko is hoping for snow, something the city never gets. What follows is an excellently done parody of "The Shining." Unfortunately, I did not become aware of the show until after it had been canceled (story of my life) and so I was forced to depend on reruns. One of the best shows was when Heffer became a night watchman ("No experience necessary Carry a stick and hit things") and loses touch with his hu(cow)manity, forcing harsh punishments on even his best friends. The dialogue was witty and always hit the mark, the plots delightfully wacko, and the characters surprisingly lovable under the insane exteriors. The kind of jokes used here were usually sick and always hilarious sight gags, but the writers were intelligent enough not to depend on one kind of humor alone to carry the entire show. The humor was fresh and always new in what they were doing as they followed the adventures of a wallaby, a rather unique and clever idea for a cartoon character, and his dog Spunky and friends Phil the turtle and Heffer the cow. This show had to be one of the best on Nickolodeon I've ever seen.
