Aluminum Christmas Trees: Polly's cousin and her husband are wealthy businesspeople from Jamestown. The Pilgrims actually were travelling to Jamestown and the Virginia colony when an Atlantic storm forced the Mayflower severely off course. A few individuals on board the Mayflower actually were distant relatives of people who resided in Jamestown.

When I Was Your Age...: When Cotton asks Grammy about how to have a happy marriage, she insults his generation for always looking for happiness. She says, "When I was your age, happiness hadn't even been invented yet. On a good day, you had despair, and you were glad to have it."
