** The film's attempt at a moral "You always win when you are good" comes of as this. It comes off as needlessly added in, simplistic in its message, not to mention having nothing to do with Christmas.

** The orphan explaining how he when he's sad, he likes to pretend the tree in the backyard is hugging him. Though unintentional, Judy's heavy-lidded oh-you've-got-to-be-kidding-me reaction is what really sells it.

** Also, Judy could easily have reported Mavilda to the mayor as soon as Mavilda lost the money in that poker game - it's not like Mavilda could have hidden the fact that she hadn't bought any new clothes or toys like the mayor told her to do upon any actual inspection. The film does make a slight effort to justify this by having Mavilda threaten to evict Judy and her children if word of the abuse gets out, never mind that Mavilda will have no authority to do so if she gets fired, as she almost certainly would.
