Continuity mistake: When Frank sees what he thinks is the Ghost of Christmas Future in the elevator, he flips out and accidentally clocks Grace in the jaw. She puts her right hand to her face, but in the next shot she's holding her left hand up.
Earl Cross: Here Francis, I've got something for you. Merry Christmas.
Frankie Cross: A choo-choo train?
Earl Cross: No, it's five pounds of veal.
Frankie Cross: But Daddy I asked Santa for a choo-choo.
Earl Cross: Then go out and get a job and buy a choo-choo.
Trivia: Frank's brother James is played by Bill Murray's younger brother John. His father is played by Bill's older brother Brian Doyle-Murray.
Question: When the Ghost of Christmas Future appears in the TV monitors behind Frank, he has a skeletal face. When Frank falls into the elevator and sees the Ghost of Christmas Future, why did his face change to a TV screen?
Answer: The Ghost of Christmas Future on the TV screen is part of the show they are filming, and the one in the elevator is the real one, so it would go without saying that they would be a little different.
