Maxwell is Santa, Niles is the lead elf Elfis, C.C. is C.C. the Abominable Babcock, and Maggie and Gracie briefly appear as background elves. Fran manages to avoid equating C.C. the Abominable Babcock to her obvious counterpart:
-->'''Fran:''' What's her problem?\\
'''Elfis:''' Well, she's only happy when she's making everyone around her miserable.\\
'''Fran:''' Sounds like my mother.\\
'''Elfis:''' She's two thousand pounds with arms like a wrestler.\\
'''Fran:''' Oy, she is my mother!

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: C.C. the Abominable Babcock gets very irritable once every twenty-eight years.
-->'''Elfis:''' She's very regular.
