8
9	----
10	!!Provides examples of:
11	* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: The plot revolves around the idea that Christmas is somehow bad for business, explaining Kovet's obsession with stomping it out, despite that Christmas as a holiday revolves around people ''buying things'' for each-other.
12	* ArtisticLicenseLaw: How is a CEO able to ban Christmas from a town (which would obviously violate the first amendment), have his own police, and exile people?
13	* BigBad: [[TyrannicalTownTycoon D.D. Kovet]], owner of Ironsville's massive flange factory, is the reason why [[ForbiddenHoliday the town doesn't celebrate Christmas]]. He goes out of his way to try and make sure all signs of the holiday are stomped out.
14	* TheBully: The unnamed boy with a duo of friends who are introduced when they try to attack Wilfred and Angela with snowballs. He is even referred to as "the town bully".
15	* CivilizedAnimal: Angela's wolf friend, Wilfred, talks like a human, eats at the table like a human, can partake in snowball fights, and even celebrates Christmas. He's only shown acting like a wolf when Bobby and Marian wander into the forest, and immediately calms down when Angela gets there.
16	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Kovet, who uses his power as the boss of the flange factory- where practically everyone in town works- to even do such things as boss around his own enforcement group and cancel Christmas.
17	* DangerThinIce: The kids walk on ice when cutting down a Christmas tree, and the ice inevitably cracks and they lose the tree in the river.
18	* DarkestHour: Angela is on the verge of giving up entirely when she's forcibly removed from Ironsville. It's Wilfred reminding her about meaning of Christmas that snaps her out of it.
19	* DeusExMachina: After Kovet kills the power and forces everyone else to walk away, it’s [[spoiler:Angela unveiling herself as an angel and lighting up the tree]] that somehow changes Kovet’s heart and allows the celebrations to continue.
20	* ForbiddenHoliday: Christmas, which has been banned in Ironsville twenty-five years, due to Kovet's personal greed.
21	* {{Greed}}: Kovet's reason for hating Christmas is his own greed and desire for money and power.
22	* HeelFaceTurn:
23	** Bear, and the other members of the Christmas Squad, have a change of heart after seeing Angela save Bobby's life, and help the kids bring back Christmas.
24	** Two of the three unnamed bullies end up helping Angela, Bobby and Marian bring Christmas back.
25	** Kovet himself, due to Angela's angel powers, becomes a nice guy at the end of the story. See DeusExMachina above.
26	* RaisedByWolves: Angela lived in the forest with a pack of wolves before coming to Ironsville.
27	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It's strongly implied that Angela and Wilfred have been alive ''at least'' since the birth of Jesus Christ. Justified, being that Angela is an angel, and all.
28	* TitleDrop: After turning good, Kovet wonders what he "can give an angel for Christmas?"
29	* TyrannicalTownTycoon: D.D. Kovet, boss of the town's massive flange-factory where nearly everyone works. He's wealthy enough and powerful enough to even have his own SecretPolice used to [[ForbiddenHoliday stamp out any mention of "Christmas"]].
