- TriviaRaj has no lines in this episode. He only appeared in one scene, and as Penny and Beverly were in the room, he did not get a chance to talk. However, he does whisper in Howard's ear to communicate.
- GoofsSheldon says he liked the Grinch, right up to the point he decided to save Christmas. In The Classified Materials Turbulence (2009) he sarcastically told Stewart "said the Grinch to Christmas" when Stewart apologized for something. This indicates he had already seen the movie and in fact didn't like the Grinch ruining Christmas.

Featured review
Fa La La La La
It's Christmas and Leonard's mother, Christine Baranski, comes to visit. She has three things to tell him which Sheldon already knew, including he death of his dog. She is a great character. Penny finds a way to loosen her up. Baranski is superb and steals every scene.
