References

  • The name of this familiar is a play on a line from the traditional Christmas song Deck the Halls, "Troll the ancient yuletide carol". The lucky Tam O'Shanter message refers to the line "Don we now our gay apparel" from the same song.
  • "Carol of the Belches" is a play on the name of another traditional Christmas song, "Carol of the Bells."
