The Season of Giving is a 2007 comedy brickfilm by Zach Macias. It is a follow-up to Merry Happy Whatever and is a parody of feel-good holiday specials[1]. It was an entry to the fourth Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest and ultimately placed second.[2]
Plot
The host greets the viewers and declares the holiday season to be The Season of Giving. He calls on the viewers to reflect back on selfless acts on giving: A father gives his son a broken-down station wagon; a hyperactive child screams "Gimme gimme gimme" as his parent buys presents; the Terminator approaches some bystanders and demands their clothes; Ben and Andy fight over a Wii; a robber robs a woman.
The host, flustered, scrambles to regain his composure and wishes everyone "A merry happy whatever." Someone offscreen mutters "I don't."[1]
