Booth: What are those little tiny lights dancing on the ceiling?
Goodman: For the third time, those are minute firings of neurons on your optic nerve due to your reaction to the antifungal cocktail.
Booth: Wow. They're beautiful. (edit) Brennan: (to Hodgins and Zack) Is that pure alcohol?
Zack: ...Yes, Dr. Brennan.
Brennan: You really think Goodman's gonna let you spike the eggnog after the Fourth of July fiasco? (edit) Hodgins: I brought an eggnog.
Zack: I can't drink while I work.
Hodgins: Good thing I didn't bring it for you. (edit) (Brennan and Booth at the counter of Wong Foo's)
Brennan: Ivy Gillespie came to the lab after you left, with her granddaughter. (Booth smiles knowingly) Don't you wanna know what happened?
Booth: I know what happened. You told her about careful Lionel, you showed her the letters, the tickets, she cried. But, you made her happy.
Brennan: Not to mention I gave her a penny worth over a hundred thousand dollars.
Booth: She won't care about that today. You just gave somebody the best Christmas gift they could ever get. Who's the secret Santa now?
Brennan: Stop!
(Zack's robot starts doing push-ups on the counter)
Booth: Whoa! (they both laugh) And that weirdo assistant of yours just made me the coolest dad in the world. (edit) Booth: Listen, Bones, here is the thing. What if a gift goes both ways? What's wrong with that? (Brennan ignores what he says and talks about something unrelated) Look, all I'm saying is that maybe the real gift is when you accept something with a little grace. (edit)

Goof: The raised area that the team works from has to be accessed by a card system to avoid setting off alarms. Yet when Booth comes in to mention the body and Bones agrees to look at it, he whistles to the FBI guys who have the body bag and they manage to get it up to them without having the card access. (edit) It is revealed that Booth has a four-year-old son named Parker. (edit) Goof: During their breakfast, Angela brings up Brennan's past and Booth reacts as if he didn't know anything about it. However, in a "Pilot" scene, after Booth told them that science can't solve mysteries, he had a conversation with Angela in which she told him that he should know about her family and he replied that he "read the file." Plus, in the previous episode "The Girl in the Fridge" Booth persuaded the prosecution counsel to use Brennan's personal information in order to show the jury that she has a reason for doing what she does the way she does it. (edit) Goof: When Hodgins is talking to Brennan on the walkway he accuses her of being the Grinch and goes on to say that it isn't fair for the rest of the team either because "Goodman doesn't get to see his family, Zack can't see his kids, and Booth won't see his son." The dialogue should have been "Zack doesn't get to see his family, Goodman can't see his kids, and Booth won't see his son." (edit) Goof: While eating their "Christmas Dinner'" the team talks about how Lionel's girlfriend was pregnant in 1958. However at the end of the episode when we meet Ivy, she says that she gave birth to a half-white child in 1960. It's impossible for someone to be pregnant for over a year. (edit)

Hodgins: At least I’m an accidental Grinch; with all due respect you’re the Grinch on purpose.

Hodgins is referring to the children's book, How The Grinch Stole Christmas! which was written by Dr. Seuss in 1957. In 2000, the book was made into a film, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carey as the Grinch. T. J. Thyne, who plays Hodgins, also appeared in the film as Stu Lou Who. (edit) Hodgins mentions how he has plans to go to Quebec for the holidays.

In the books by Kathy Reichs, upon which the show is loosely based on, the main setting of the plots is in Montreal, Quebec. (edit) Zack: Crystal from accounting is after you, isn't she?
Hodgins: Uh, like Alien after Predator.

Alien Vs. Predator was the 2004 movie that tied in the two enormous franchises. (edit) Angela: My best friend is in the lab eyeball to eyeball with Skeletor.

Skeletor is the evil nemesis of He-Man in the successful animated program 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'. (edit) Hodgins: ...watches reruns of Firefly.

Firefly was a short-lived FOX sci-fi show set 500 years in the future. The show chronicled the struggle for survival of the crew of the space vessel Serenity. The show was created by Joss Whedon, who also created the hit shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, both of which David Boreanaz starred in as the the vampire Angel. (edit)
