* {{Expy}}: The characters are more Expies of '80s archetypes than specific celebrities, though there's a few you can nail down -- Jacob Marley feels like an homage to Music/AnnieLennox, Christmas Past is Creator/JaneFonda in her aerobics-instructor phase (as well as a reference to Music/OliviaNewtonJohn in the video for "Physical", which was itself a reference to Fonda), and Christmas Future is meant to be an homage to [[Music/BonnieTyler]]. Scrooge himself is wearing an outfit inspired by Creator/MichaelDouglas as Gordon Gekko in ''Film/WallStreet''.
