Trivia

  • This episode marks the last official appearance of Steve's Handy Dandy Notebook
  • Baby Mailbox is the only one who didn't receive a holiday gift.
  • This is the last time Steve is ever mentioned, heard, or appeared, in the Original Blue's Clues Series however, he's seen as a child.
  • Like Steve, in the Season 3 episode Blue's Big Holiday, Joe wears a sweater version of the shirt he wears.
  • In the Season 4 episode Joe's First Day, Joe said he made Boris himself.
  • This is the second episode where the Play Blue's Clues was not featured because Blue and her friends were watching a movie with two home videos.
    • At the beginning of Mr. Salt's video, the camera zooms in on Joe and Boris, who was sitting right next to him.
      • This either probably means he is some kind of prodigy tailor for making him all by himself, or he lost Boris and decided to recreate him himself later on in life.
  • Joe has had his duck blanket when he was a baby and still has it with him today.
  • When Mailbox is about to deliver the mail and the different music starts, Young Steve runs around the room shouting "The mail is here, The mail is here" and finally yells out "MAIIIILLL!"
  • All the babies talk except for Joe.
  • Snail was revealed to have been living in the house since the time of the 1st movie (he appeared as a baby between the cushions by the windowsill where young Steve read his book).
    • He can also be seen after the 2nd movie from behind the VCR on the TV interacting with the others.
  • There was a playing of Blue's Clues and it happened on the second video titled "Blue's First Clue" which told the story about the time the characters played the game of Blue's Clues for the first time.
  • This is the last time the So Long Song was sung.
  • In the first Mailtime segment, when Baby Mailbox brings Young Steve the mail he is shown wearing the same flag warmer that Steve did not give him until he grew up. Possibly, Mailbox grew out of the one he wore in the video, so Steve made him another one that fitted with help from Tickety and Slippery.
  • This is the 2nd time that the phone sits on the floor.
    • The 1st time it happened was from "Blue's Big Musical Movie".
    • This is also the 1st time that the phone was answered while it was sitting on the floor.
  • In the 2nd Mailtime segment, Mailbox delivers a holiday card. It featured 4 different kids celebrating a different kind of observance. There was Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Ramadan. Each of the 4 kids explained the holiday and the corresponding kid narrating that kind of observance explains their favorite part.
  • During the fading to the next shot, Baby Shovel and Baby Pail are standing looking at the viewers briefly before it cut to them looking at Young Steve reading "About A Puppy" (Where Baby Blue was born, and finally comes to life the next morning. This took place after the story in the next episode: The Legend of the Blue Puppy.)
