-->'''Santa:''' A wicked soul bent on bloodshed was sent to collect my head. Like you, he thought he lived outside of morals and consequence. He is now buried with his lack of reverence. One more time, Billy Wenan, once more, and you'll be getting more than coal in your stocking. If your grandmother meets an early grave, if Christine Crawford suffers so much as a cold, if anybody that crosses your path is made to feel less or lower because of you, I'm coming back. I'll come while you sleep and rip you from your covers. By my hand, you will know the consequence of your actions. So don't screw it up. The fat man's got his eye on you, kid.

* HopeBringer: Its implied that the purpose behind Chris' gift-giving is that the toys he gives out molds the kids into what they become in adulthood. Two of the files Ruth shows him include a girl with a toy fire-truck becoming a fire-fighter and a boy with a play kitchen-set becoming a chef. The Skinny Man buys a baseball bat from a man who ''would'' have become a professional baseball player if it wasn't for a CareerEndingInjury. The Skinny Man himself has a toy police car and drives an all-black late-70s police package sedan implying that if not for his abusive childhood and his own bad choices, he would've become a police officer.
