* HonorBeforeReason: Played straight and subverted. In their quest to make sure that the wounded soldier's death certificate doesn't reflect him dying on Christmas, [=BJ=], Margaret, and Hawkeye pull out all the stops to try and keep him alive rather than just fudging the date when no one would have been the wiser. However, when they fail to keep him alive past midnight, Hawkeye just lies about the date and time when he pronounces.

It's Christmas time, and the camp prepares to have a party of a group of Korean orphans. However, the party gets interrupted for B.J., Hawkeye and Margaret when they have to deal with a wounded soldier, and B.J. is determined to make sure he doesn't die on Christmas.
!!Attention all personnel! Major Winchester would like the following tropes to remain anonymous:
* BerserkButton: Charles is furious when he finds out Choi (Creator/KeyeLuke), the head of the orphanage, has sold the candy Charles donated to him on the black market, at least until he finds out why (the money from the candy went towards buying food for the orphans).
* TheDeterminator: B.J. will do anything to keep the wounded soldier alive until midnight so he doesn't die on Christmas day, even to the point of preventing Father Mulcahy from performing last rites, which disturbs the others, even they understand why he feels that way. Eventually, Hawkeye solves the problem by falsifying the time so it seems like the soldier died the day after Christmas.
* EveryoneHatesFruitCakes: Hawkeye ends up donating a fruitcake he got from home to the Christmas feast.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: A variation - the soldier is already dying when Margaret discovers a photo of his wife and children, and it's that photo that makes B.J. determined to keep the soldier alive until Christmas Day is over.
* FriendshipMoment: When Klinger overhears Charles arguing with Choi, and finds out about Charles' "anonymous" donation of the candy to the orphans, he serves Charles leftover food from the feast, and when Charles asks what the catch is, Klinger tells him that the giver of the food wants to remain anonymous.
-->'''Charles''': Thank you, Max.\\
'''Klinger''': Merry Christmas, Charles.
** Col. Potter has one in TheTag when, while dressed as Santa Claus, he praises B.J., Hawkeye and Margaret for what they did, and a Korean orphan with him gives the three of them a piece of Peg's fudge.
* HiddenDepths: Charles at first seems like the stingiest of the members of the camp - when prompted to donate food for the Christmas dinner, he gives only a couple of tins of caviar, which no one likes - but then we see him dropping the candy off at the orphanage, and explaining to Choi how it was a family tradition for the Winchesters to anonymously drop off food to the needy.
