Trivia
As House tells Wilson about the gifts he received from the secret Santa, he mentions "a second edition Conan Doyle." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of Sherlock Holmes, whom House is loosely based on.

Goofs
Both Taub and House are trying to check if Maggie's daughter can be a bone marrow donor. If they were real doctors they'd know that children never make more than 3 out of 6 match - children only inherit half the chromosomes from their parents. So a 5 out of 6 match "from Cleveland" is by all means a better option.

Quotes
Dr. Gregory House: Gifts allow us to demonstrate exactly how little we know about a person and nothing pisses off a person more than being shoved into the wrong pigeonhole.

It's a Wonderful Christmas Episode

It's not a really special, exciting, unique and interesting episode. Just simply wonderful. This show has so rich characters and derfor Christmas episodes gets just so cosy. This episode is also a great addition to the best season of House. The episode dose provide good moments aswell as cosy, like House witnessing a childs brutal honesty, or the fun with the team doing Christmas Santa (...No wait, I mean Satan. I always get them confused).
