** Moe went through an ItsAWonderfulPlot offscreen, gave up his suicide attempt, and joined the Simpsons in their Christmas celebration. Unfortunately, not only would later episodes show that Moe is still suicidal, but [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E7TisTheFifteenthSeason the next Christmas episode featuring Moe]] would reveal that attempting suicide at Christmas has become an annual tradition for him.

** Many fans see Gary Coleman's job as a security guard as another aspect of his CloudCuckoolander character. In reality, Gary Coleman did work as a security guard, which was brought to the public eye the previous year when he assaulted a fan that kept pestering him.

** Krusty wishes his audience "a Merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a 'kwazy' Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan." Because Islam runs on a lunar calendar, it is possible for Ramadan to coincide with the other December holidays, and it actually did in 1999 when this episode aired.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: While the episode isn't considered the best ''Simpsons'' ChristmasEpisode or even the best episode of the season, it's considered to be much better than season nine's "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" due to the funnier plot and having a truly happy ending.

* HilariousInHindsight: In this episode, Moe is shown as so poor that he can't even afford proper shoes, wearing bread bags instead. While presenting the Republican Party's rebuttal to the January 2015 State of the Union Address, Iowa Congresswoman Joni Ernst shared a story of her humble beginnings, saying "Growing up, I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry.", prompting much confusion and ridicule.
