1	It's Arbor Day! Christmas for beavers everywhere! The beavers receive their gifts from mom and dad. Norbert gets a really cool train set, while Dag gets... a lightly scented pine tree decorative air freshener. Daggett gets jealous and tries to sabotage Norb's new train set.
2	----
3	!!Tropes featured in this episode:
4	* ArtShift: Daggett's thought balloon ImagineSpot visuals depict everything like kindergarten drawings, colored roughly with crayons. It's actually a RunningGag in the series, and this is just the first instance of it.
5	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: This is the first time we see Dag wear his Muscular Beaver costume. Norb compliments it when he sees it. But, in later episodes, Norb bemoans the sight of it.
6	* ChristmasEpisode
7	* CoolTrain: The "[[Myth/PaulBunyan Paul]] [[CaptainErsatz Bunyon]] Giant Logger's Express Electric Train Set" comes with several trains (with the locomotives making actual diesel train sound effects), loads of track that span ''the entire dam'' and numerous accessories such as buildings, signs, bridges, tunnels and people figures. [[note]]A bit of TruthInTelevision: in TheEighties and [[TheNineties 90s]] a few department store holiday catalogs like Sears and J.C. Penny's sold such deluxe train sets in HO-scale that may even include two or three trains, plenty of track and trestles, and numerous accessories including landscaping, in other words, a complete model railroad layout in one package, and Norb's train set may have been an example of this, albeit shown in a larger scale than HO.[[/note]] A shame Dag had to go and destroy it all.
8	* DownerEnding: For Dag, since he loses out on a monster truck at the end of the episode to Norb. Dag did bring it on himself though.
9	* ShootTheShaggyDog: Poor Dag...
10	* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: Dag does this during his first ImagineSpot when singing in MockingSingSong:
11	--> "No more train, no more choo-choo, no more stinky pine tree, [[LampshadeHanging that doesn't even rhyme, but I don't care]], no more train!"
12	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Dag, after Norb offers to trade for the pine tree decoration: "Why... this is what I've always wanted."
13	* TrackTrouble: Dag keeps intentionally setting this up as part of wrecking Norb's train set. His ImagineSpot of destroying the train involves Dag [[PaintedTunnelRealTrain drawing a hole next to him]] and setting up the tracks so Norb and his train end up falling down the hole.
