* HypocriticalHumor: Bloo’s response to Eduardo (who’s stuck in the chimney) when he asks Bloo to be quiet so he can try to sleep:
-->'''Bloo:''' Look, Ed, stop being selfish. ''I’m'' only getting one stinkin’ present!
* ImplausibleDeniability: When Wilt asks Bloo where the rest of the candy canes went, Bloo says he doesn’t know…with a mouth filled with candy canes.
* EveryonesAChristianAtChristmas: Subverted. Moishe, a dreidel imaginary friend, keeps stopping by throughout the episode to remind Bloo that he’ll be getting ''eight'' gifts for Hanukkah compared to Bloo’s one lame Christmas gift.
* ExactWords: Bloo, as the Ghost of Christmas Future, tells Herriman not to give the imaginary friends “one single present”, implying that he wants him to give them much more. However, Herriman interprets this as that he shouldn’t give them any gifts at all and cancels Christmas altogether.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Bloo considers only getting one gift for Christmas a crime and wants to call in every crime-fighting organization and branch of the military to remedy the situation.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: When Mac is going on a rant about how illogical it was for him to have ever believed in Santa, Bloo slaps him across the face and yells at him to get a hold of himself.
* GiveMeASign: Mac asks Santa to give him a sign by giving him a present on Christmas morning, even if it’s [[ClothesForChristmasCringe underwear]].
* GratuitousSpanish: Eduardo says “Es la navidad ser una de las mejores.” Luckily, Wilt acts as a TranslatorBuddy by agreeing, “This is gonna be the best Christmas ever!”
* HowCanSantaDeliverAllThoseToys: After Mac starts to think Santa isn’t real, he realizes how many things about Santa can’t be explained logically. Bloo then sets out to prove him wrong.
* HypocriticalHumor: Bloo’s response to Eduardo (who’s stuck in the chimney) when he asks Bloo to be quiet so he can try to sleep:
-->'''Bloo:''' Look, Ed, stop being selfish. ''I’m'' only getting one stinkin’ present!

Added DiffLines:
When various imaginary Santa Clauses are brought to Foster's, Mac begins to lose his faith in Santa's existence. Meanwhile, Bloo learns that Mr. Herriman is only giving one present to everyone, and in his typical [[UngratefulBastard Bloo fashion]] tries to make him hand out more presents.
This is notable for being the final episode directed by Mike Moon. Who was a co-developer for the show and directed the first two seasons (as well as the [[WesternAnimation/HouseOfBloos pilot movie]]) and two prior episodes in this season.
!!This episode contains examples of:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Bloo is dissatisfied with Foster's custom of giving out only one present to each resident every Christmas. He tries to stage a (poorly done) "Christmas Carol" scenario for Mr. Herriman in order to scare him into giving more presents for Christmas. Unfortunately, Bloo (whilst disguised as a robot) words it in such a way that indicates little foresight on Bloo's part: "There shall be not one present." A couple scenes later, Bloo is sheepishly calling Mac over how his wish has come true: he doesn't have to worry about only getting one present tomorrow, because Herriman threw out all things Christmas in order to take the advice to heart! So Bloo (along with every resident at Foster's) won't even get the one present.
* ChristmasSpecial
* ClothesForChristmasCringe: {{Exploited|Trope}}. During one Christmas special, Mac asks Santa for something very unconventional to give him a sign of whether he's real or not: underwear. His idea behind this is he knows people buying gifts for him would pick out ones he'd like. Therefore, if he only gets fun presents instead of something as undesirable as clothes, that means Santa isn't real.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Tired of getting only one present for Christmas every year, Bloo tries to scare Herriman with a very poor reenactment of ''A Christmas Carol'', (even forgetting to do the Ghost of Christmas Past), and as the Ghost of Christmas Future, tells Herriman not to buy everyone just one Christmas present a year. Unfortunately, Herriman misinterprets this as don't buy ''one single'' Christmas present at all, and proceeds to throw out every Christmas related thing from the house.
* LaserGuidedKarma: For being so greedy, ungrateful and costing everyone their presents, Bloo gets rewarded with an unceremonious pile of coal for Christmas by Santa, which Mac [[{{Reconstruction}} celebrates]] this because it proves Santa Claus is real if he knows Bloo so well to give him coal.
* StuckInAChimney: Bloo sends out all of his friends to try and prove to Mac that Santa exists. He makes Eduardo climb through the chimney, but he gets stuck there for most of the episode, until something pushes him out.
* UngratefulBastard: Bloo is so concerned about him only getting one present, despite the fact Wilt reminds Bloo that Foster's doesn't have a lot of money.
* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Bloo tries to pull one of these on Mr. Herriman. It doesn't work. In fact, it makes things ''worse''.
