[edit] Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
- All in the Family: A similar storyline, in which Archie does not get his Christmas bonus and puts off telling his family the news, was used in the 1971 Christmas episode, "Christmas Day at the Bunkers."
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation also has a similar storyline, where Clark doesn't get the Christmas bonus he was expecting. Instead he receives word on Christmas eve from his company that he has been given a membership in a jam and jelly club in lieu of money.
- Donna Dixon and Richard Nixon: Homer mentions the names of the actress and the former U.S. President when trying to name the reindeer.
- Miracle on 34th Street: The Christmas movie is homaged in the scene where Bart visits with "Santa" (Homer) and makes a disrespectful remark because he suspects Homer is not the real Santa.
- "We're in the Money": Bart and Barney sing this song at the dog track.
- "Dog-o-War" is a pun on the name of champion race horse Man O'War, and also a likely reference to the famous line "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!" from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.
- "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer": The song is given new lyrics by both Bart and Lisa (as well as Homer in a solo). Bart refers to strip poker and Attila the Hun, while Lisa mentions schnozzola. Homer is also unable to sing the proper lyrics in his solo.
- "The title of the episode is a reference to the 1944 song Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire by Mel Tormé and Bob Wells

[edit] Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
- At the school play the lady one row behind homer has no nose.
- While Homer and Marge are in closeup, the background behind them is upside down, as Bart's portrait and the lamp on the ceiling shows.
- Bart's friend Lewis turns from black to white during the dare scene.
- Debatable goof: When the photo of the kid sitting on Homer/Santas lap is taken, "merry" is spelt "merrie". However, this could likely be intentional, with it being a "cartoony" spelling. (Also bear in mind the "Merrie Melodies" cartoons, to which it could even be a slight nod).
