* Omi's entire backstory. She lived through WWII in Germany, while still being a WideEyedIdealist although her parents were always fighting. Her optimism died when her parents rejected her attempts to mend their relationship, which led to Krampus abducting her parents and leaving her with a keepsake as an ever-present reminder.

* Max's attempted HeroicSacrifice. He's literally ''pleading'' with him to spare the cousins, and to to take him to the underworld in their place. Krampus seemingly agrees... then reveals he had no plan of agreeing and sends them all to the underworld. [[AllJustADream So]] [[GainaxEnding it]] [[MindScrew appears]], anyway.
* Stevie and Jordan reading Max's letter out loud when it turns out all's he asking Santa is for his family to be happy. The girls spend most of their time mocking Max about it until they get to the part where he mentions their parents. To wit, the list includes:
** That he can spend more time with Beth like they used since he doesn't have many friends. Beth is visibly taken aback by this.
** That Tom and Sarah can be closer like they used to because he can tell things are straining between them and just wants them to keep loving each other.
** That things get easier between Howard and Linda because he thinks they're unhappy too. Linda comes in just as the girls get to this part, and the girls sound surprised and somewhat ashamed while reading it out loud, either because they didn't realize their parents were unhappy or that even Max can see it.
** Finally, [[LaserGuidedKarma they get angry when they come to the part where Max asks that Howard stop wishing Stevie and Jordan were boys]], which may be something they're genuinely afraid of and probably thought a few times themselves.
