* PoorCommunicationKills: This episode ''really'' stretches the show's tendency to have Stitch speak as little (and broken) English as possible, as much of this episode's plot would not have happened if Stitch told Lilo ''exactly'' what he saw first before trying to take every single present in Kokaua Town. The fact that this episode even has a scene where Stitch is put inside a soundproof capsule--which no other episode does--just to have his memories scanned only reinforces this.

Lilo takes Stitch to the mall to show him the "true spirit of Christmas," which is, of course, rampant consumerism.

Lilo says that Stitch is suffering from the "Christmas Crazies" and that he better be good or Santa won't bring him any presents.

The containment pod Stitch is in is completely soundproof, bulletproof, and [[TailorMadePrison "626-proof,"]] so he is unable to explain himself to anyone.
Jumba attaches a brain analyzer onto the containment pod to determine what is going through Stitch's mind, only to find the 025 experiment pod being wrapped in a present. He determines that there ''was'' logical reasoning behind 626's actions and releases Stitch from the pod. Lilo plans to find the present with the experiment pod in it and return all the others, but just then, Gantu destroys half the house and steals all of the Christmas presents, flying off in his ship. Lilo and Stitch storm Gantu's ship after finding out that it's only Reuben guarding it (taking a Christmas nap). Meanwhile, Jumba spots Gantu at the mall disguised as Santa, and calls Lilo and Stitch.
Just as Gantu finally receives the wrapped present containing the 025 experiment pod, Lilo confronts Gantu about stealing the presents, only to realize that Gantu was just trying to give Hämsterviel a present all along.

Added DiffLines:
Stitch searches for an experiment pod that got wrapped into a present during Christmastime, causing everyone else to mistakenly think he's being greedy.
On the morning of Christmas Eve, Lilo and Stitch sneak around the house trying to find their Christmas presents early. Nani says that she hid them extra good this year, but Lilo climbs into the attic and finds them on the first try. Stitch wants to open the presents right away, but Lilo stops him, explaining that the point is to give gifts rather than just receive them. After they hear horrible Christmas caroling from Jumba and Pleakley downstairs, they show Stitch some end-year holiday traditions such as eggnog and tree decorating ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint completely misunderstanding both]] as usual). Pleakley tries to use a bowling ball as a tree topper, destroying the tree completely. Nani has to work all day, but promises to be home in time for Christmas Eve celebrations.
On Gantu's ship, Reuben has set up a Christmas party, but Gantu is uninterested in participating as he has just found an experiment pod marked 025. Reuben suggests wrapping it up as a present for Hämsterviel, and Gantu agrees, figuring it might get the rodent off his tail for once.
Lilo takes Stitch to the mall to show him the "true spirit of Christmas," which is, of course, rampant consumerism. He sits on a mall Santa's lap, who deems him naughty, causing Stitch to rip off his fake beard.

Lilo scolds Stitch because [[PoorCommunicationKills she thinks he is just after presents.]] Stitch dashes after a nearby delivery truck as Lilo follows.
