* BerserkButton: Don't ''ever'' say Nelson isn't a war hero infront of Mitch, even if the only reason the former has PTSD was because he fell off the back of a truck; Nelson ''technically'' still served in the Military.

* BittersweetEnding: Downplayed; [[spoiler: While Boyd manages to make it back and keep his son in belief of Santa, it's implied the night before during Douglas' DreamSequence that he knows deep down that he will eventually realize that Santa doesn't exist in the way he thought he did. Despite this, it doesn't take away from the fact that even if he isn't the magical figure he believed him to be, the concept of Santa is still kept alive one way or another. To add more to the sweetness, Boyd and his father finally reconcile and the family has a happy Christmas, ''especially'' since it finally started snowing]].
