* RuleOfFunny: Allison's voicemail only seems to allow messages of no more than five seconds, far too short for any message actually explaining who called her and why. But if it lasted any longer, we wouldn't have Jake blurting "Desert Santa buzzard tumbleweed!" into the phone to try and explain himself before he's cut off.

* LackOfEmpathy: At no point in the film does anyone take notice (save for sister at the end) at Jake who throughout it, would likely be suffering from heatstroke from traversing a dessert, pneumonia from being out in the rain and snow, having likely had little to eat or drink and his Santa outfit smelling like sweat, filth and urine due to being unable to take it off. Keep in mind Jake is a late teen/early college age kid so it's doubtful he would be seen as a bum.
