Anecdotes
Bert and Ernie getting gifts for one another was a take on the 1905 Christmas story, "The Gift of the Magi," b O. Henry. In that story, a poor young couple each sell their most valuable possessions in order to afford Christmas gifts for one another; the husband sells his pocket watch to buy his wife a set of fine combs for her hair, while the wife sells her hair to a hairdresser to buy her husband a fob chain for his pocket watch. The original story ends with the gifts that were sacrificed for being virtually useless to the recipient (though they show the dedication the couple have to one another). There was no Mr. Hooper-type character to save the day.

Gaffes
The amount of snow on Big Bird when he leaves the roof changes when he walks down the stairs a few moments later.

Générique farfelu
Cookie Monster continuously burps over the contribution credits at the end.

Autres versions
When Big Bird and Patty check on Oscar following his ice skating accident, his original line was "Sure. I've been thrown out of better places than that." It was later re-dubbed in post-production (to "Let's go back and do it, again!"), as the original line was deemed too adult.

Charming Christmas special

Christmas Eve is upon the entire Sesame Street gang in this funny and sweet one-hour television special. Oscar the Grouch has Big Bird worried about Santa Claus arriving and bringing everyone presents. Meanwhile, Bert and Ernie struggle to get something nice for each other in a brilliant re-telling of "Gift of the Magi." And Cookie Monster is having trouble conveying to Santa Claus just what he would like for Christmas. Filled with laughter (the scenes with Kermit and Grover questioning the kids are priceless!), music, and all-around Christmas magic, "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" is a wonderful Christmas special, and provided childhood memories that I will always treasure.
