4. The house that the Kringles live in is Victorian style
5. Jessica says 'Now I see things as they really are' just before she breaks into song
6. Jessica caught a case of Stockholm Syndrome
7. Kris & Topper make it to Sombertown, twice he is addressed about his clothing

16. My World Is Beginning Today!

1. The songs....especially Bergermeister singing "It's a Difficult Responsibility" and "Put One Foot In Front Of The Other".

2. Kris and Jessica's wedding "before the Lord" and Winter praying to have "just a little magic".

3. Bergermeister's voice....the same voice that Paul Frees used for Boris on "Rocky and Bullwinkle".

4. "Ah, see all the little children are playing with their toys......(spluttering triple-take) PLAYING WITH THEIR TOYS?!!"

5. Fred Astaire singing the title song at the end, Topper and Winter jumping on his truck as he drives to Santa's castle and Santa coming out the front door and waving good-bye as the show fades to black.

He was originally called Donder (sometimes Dunder) which is Dutch for Thunder. Incidentally Blitzen was originally called Blicksem which is Dutch for lightning.

German for "thunder" and "lightning".

"Dunder and Bliksem" are the Dutch words, which were used by Clement Moore in the original 1823 version. Edmund Stedman reprinted it in 1844 and changed it to the German words.
