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.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Art Shift: Daggett's thought balloon Imagine Spot visuals depict everything like kindergarten drawings, colored roughly with crayons. It's actually a Running Gag in the series, and this is just the first instance of it.
- Characterization Marches On: 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.
- Christmas Episode
- Cool Train: The "Paul 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 shame Dag had to go and destroy it all.
- Downer Ending: 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.
- Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Poor Dag...
- Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: Dag does this during his first Imagine Spot when singing in Mocking Sing-Song:"No more train, no more choo-choo, no more stinky pine tree, that doesn't even rhyme, but I don't care, no more train!"
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: Dag, after Norb offers to trade for the pine tree decoration: "Why... this is what I've always wanted."
- Track Trouble: Dag keeps intentionally setting this up as part of wrecking Norb's train set. His Imagine Spot of destroying the train involves Dag drawing a hole next to him and setting up the tracks so Norb and his train end up falling down the hole.
- What Were You Thinking?: Norb to Dag, after Dag destroyed his train.
