  Episode Notes  
This episode got the lowest rating of any Family Guy episode. Although it may be because it aired around Christmas, which is when most people aren't watching TV.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Bonnie: I am the Virgin Mary. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
Brian: You're really going to take back donated presents on Christmas Eve?
Peter: Yep, now here's the plan: You'll enter through the air conditioning duct here. Now there'll be an invisible laser grid three inches from the floor, so you'll have to compress your body to the size of an ordinary household sponge and slide underneath like some kind of weird amphibious dolphin.
Brian: Can I buy some pot from you?
 
Stewie: By all means, turn me into a child star. Perhaps I can move to Californ-i-ay and wrangle me a three-way with the Olsen twins.
 
Lois: Brian, you're not wearing the sweater I made you
Brian: Well, y'know, it's a little warm in here ..
Lois: "Don we now our gay apparel."
Brian: It doesn't get much gayer than this.
 
Peter: What the hell did you do?
Brian: Me? Who the hell buys a novelty fire extinguisher?
Peter: I'll tell you who. Someone who cares enough about physical comedy to put his whole family at risk.
 
Peter: It's already done. I dropped them all off at Toys for Toddlers last night.
Brian: All? Peter, only only one gift was for charity, the rest were for the family.
Peter: No, the rest were from the family. Weren't they? (Pauses) Oh crap...since when did they change the meaning of "for" to "from"?
Brian: They had a meeting about it last night.
Peter: Why wasn't I told?
Brian: They sent you a card, but it said "for Peter" on it so you must of thought it was from you, so you didn't...you know, its just easier to call you stupid.
 
Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
 
Peter: Can't we tell them that your mother died?
Lois: Peter, I'm not gonna lie about something like that.
Peter: All right, all right, I'll kill your mother.
 
Lois: For me? Please?
Peter: All right, all right, but you owe me. Later, under the mistletoe, open mouth, no matter how drunk I am.
 
Joe: Are you wearing a girl's sweater?
Brian: Does that really matter right now?
 
  Episode Goofs  
The tray of snacks next to Peter disappear after he puts the Christmas Tree in the stand.
 
The stars and moon on Stewie's crib disappear after Stewie cuts off Ruperts head.
 
The TV set has an antenna on it at the beginning of the episode, it disappears later, and then reappears again.
 
Stewie is on the stage at first, then walks over to the side. There's no visible Santa decoration there at this point, but one appears behind him when he states that they are all being watched.
 
  Cultural References  
Peter: Lois, if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

This is the exact line Obi-Wan says to Darth Vader in Star Wars, before he is killed.
 
Brian: Can I buy some pot from you?

This quote is taken directly from Animal House.
 
George Bailey: Clarence, I wanna live again!

The scene Lois walks through is a scene from "It's A Wonderful Life". A classic movie in which one man wishes he had never been born, and his wish is granted. His guide angel, Clarence, shows him the life of the people he loves if he had never met them.
