Trivia
Although not an obvious Christmas themed episode, this has the eating Christmas Decorations end scene joke - seemingly bolted on when they realised it was going out over Christmas.

Goofs
David expresses outrage at Alice becoming part of his family, but the series later establishes that they are second cousins and so she is already part of his family anyway.

Quotes
[On hearing that Hugo is going out with Alice, David redrafts his will]
David Horton: Ah Hugo, I was just showing the vicar my new will.
Hugo: Come on Papa, you're not that angry. It's like the time you tried to convince me you were Father Christmas. I saw through that and I can see through this.
David Horton: Then you see wrong. If you continue to consort with that Tinker twerp, you will no longer be welcome in this house, you will no longer be my son, and as this will attests, you will have *nothing*.
[Long pause]
Hugo: On the contrary sir. I shall have everything in the world that I desire.
[Hands the will back to his father. Geraldine silently expresses delight at Hugo standing his ground]
