Fifty-five days after Halloween

</div>

'''Decemberween''' (also called [[what i want|X-berween]] and D'Ween) is a [[Holidays|holiday]] celebrated by the people of [[Free Country, USA]] 55 days after [[Halloween]], on December 25. It bears many similarities to [[Christmas]], with colorful lights, garlands, and the giving of presents, but also has some obvious differences. Though Christmas carols have made appearances ("O Holy Night" in [[A Holiday Greeting]], "O Christmas Tree" in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and "Jingle Bells" in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]), their correct words are never sung and only the tune is used. [[Decemberween Food|Decemberween food]] has some unique variations on more recognizable cuisine. Instead of turkeys and hams, the traditional meal is bunnies, much to [[Marzipan]]'s chagrin. The origins of the holiday are complicated, involving at least one [[The Angel|Angel]], two [[Kobe|Kobe Bryants]], the [[Santa Claus]]-like [[Dr. Christmas]], a sailor named [[Archibald]], and [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|The King of Town]]. Although the holiday's origins are explained in the pageant in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], only glimpses of it are seen in the [[Toons|toon]], leaving most of the story a mystery. In the [[Old-Timey]] days, Decemberween is described as "the most sanitary time of year", and was celebrated by piling up all the dead rats one has accumulated over the year. [[Strong Sad]] is often trapped in the bathtub during Decemberween so he won't be able to enjoy the holiday with [[The Brothers Strong|his brothers]] and The Cheat. Decemberween can also be celebrated in [[Decemberween in July|July]], time permitting. There were no Decemberween cartoons in 2003, 2005, or 2009, nor, due to [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] being on hiatus, from 2011 to 2016 or since 2018.

Though Decemberween is the winter holiday celebrated in Free Country, USA, some characters still make references to Christmas.

* Prior to the [[Post-Flash Site Update|post-Flash site update]], most of the main Decemberween toons had the word "xmas", an abbreviation for Christmas, in the URL address. This excluded "Decemberween Short Shorts", "Happy Dethemberween", and "Decemberween Dangeresque". Counting minor Decemberween toons, "Decemberween in July" and "Teen Girl Squad Issue 6" were also exceptions.
* The [[Oldest Downloads Menu]] refers to the "x-mas" remix of Everybody Everybody from [[A Holiday Greeting]].
* [[A Decemberween Pageant]] features the character Dr. Christmas.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[Homsar]] remarks, "I'm the ghost of Christmas past", a reference to [[Charles Dickens]]' [[A Christmas Carol]].
* In [[Peasant's Quest]], the description of the [[Peasant's Quest Items|Super Trinket]] says that "It looks like it can either kill you or make you the hit of your Christmas party."
* In [[animal]], [[Strong Bad]] says if he was a made-up animal, he'd want to be a [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals|Deep Sea Fangly Fish]], the kind with "Christmas lights and custom lures".
* On the [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons menu]], the description for [[Happy Fireworks]] reads, "Strong Bad ruins Christmas. Wait, what?"
* In [[concert]], Strong Bad says that in place of pyrotechnics, [[sloshy]] strung Christmas lights over the bass drum.
* In the [[Quote of the Week]] for November 15, 2007, [[Coach Z]] states, "I feel like that school child on the first day of Christmas!"
* In [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw|The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in His Craw]], Narrator Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "The Ghost of Christmas [[Sucks|Suck]]".
* In [[Hooked on Decemberween]], [[Brainkrieg]] sings, "I'm gonna spell [[Swears|a cuss word]] on the roof with Christmas lights!"
* In [[Decomposing Pumpkins]], Brainkrieg again mentions Christmas lights in their song.
* In [[I Killed Pom Pom]], [[Homestar Runner]] exclaims, "...this Halloween is gonna be the Christmas ball!"
* Strong Bad clarifies on [[@StrongBadActual]] (November 3, 2017): "[https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/926560495448084481 There are Christmas lights and Christmas trees and Santam'ns. But the holiday itself is Decemberween]."
