==Plot synopsis==
It is Christmas Eve at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], where [[Luigi]] is in the middle of polishing his boot. Telling himself that he needs to hurry up before [[Mario]] returns, Luigi points out that he is barefoot, and that his own boots are the only present that he can afford for Mario, due to the fact that business has not been good lately.

Approaching the front door, Mario announces that he has returned with Christmas dinner. Before Mario can enter, Luigi tells him not to enter yet, as he needs to finish wrapping his present, which he does with old newspaper. After placing the wrapped present underneath the brothers' puny Christmas tree, Luigi sits down at the table, and allows Mario to enter. Carrying some grocery bags, Mario comments about the cold weather, stating that if he stepped on a dime with his old boots, he could tell whether it was heads or tails, if he could even find a dime to step on.

Anticipating the feast that Mario has brought home, Luigi is disappointed to see Mario empty two measly garbanzo beans from the bag onto a plate. Mario states that even though the beans were all that he could afford, they will plump up when cooked. Luigi takes the beans, and tells Mario that he will place them in his soup to add some flavor, as he heads over to the stove. While Luigi is at the stove, Mario tells him to close his eyes, because he is about to give him his present. Mario removes his special wrench from his tool belt, places it in the empty grocery bag, and places the bag under the tree.
