comment
The Bad Guy Wins: It's not a complete victory, and it's hard to be mad about it since Krampus is just so smooth, but he walks away from the events of the story unharmed, moving on to his next plot, and, though he doesn't replace Christmas with his own holiday, his name has become even more renown.

Affably Evil: Played for Laughs in a brief moment with the Yule Lads, who are surprisingly adamant about being in the spirit of Christmas cheer and friendship for thuggish, child-eating ogres. Heck, once Azmodan succeeds in tricking them into thinking he's a fellow child-eater, the Yule Lads welcome him, Emma and Hardestadt with open arms. Krampus is extremely pleasant, genteel and courteous, with none of it being fake.

Breather Episode

comment
Breather Episode: This story takes place immediately after Under The Cold Moon, which—in addition to being a huge Wham Episode where Stadt is revealed to have a daughter, Erin and Stadt get engaged, and the supernatural world is revealed to the world at large—was a dark story filled with cannibalistic, mass-murdering werewolves and eldritch abominations threatening to end the world. In contrast, And To All A Good Night is Lighter and Softer and deals with saving Christmas.

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: The Yule Lads are child-eating ogres, but they sure do love their mama, the Gryla. Granted, their mother's not the nicest lady herself not that you'd ever want to tell the Yule Lads that. At one point the heroes get them fighting each other by getting them arguing over who's their mother's favorite.
