Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dr. Ross states that he is going home to watch the Channel 11 Yule Log. Later, when he shows up at Nurse Hathaway's home, she says "I thought you were going to stay home and watch the Channel 9 Yule Log".

Quotes:

Dr. John Carter: My father used to read The Christmas Story every Christmas Eve. I'm so tired, I don't even think I remember it.
Dr. Abby Keaton: Um...”'Twas the night before Christmas...”
Dr. John Carter: "And all through the house... Not a creature was stirring...”
Dr. Abby Keaton: "Not even a mouse."
Dr. John Carter: I'm gonna miss you.
Dr. Abby Keaton: That's not the next line!
Dr. John Carter: I'm really gonna miss you.
