In Secret Santa, Andy begs to get Erin, and his pleas are obliged to. Andy literally gives Erin the Twelve Days of Christmas, but after getting harassed by all of Andy's animals, Erin gets steamed and is tense towards Andy after he revealed that he was the cause of the events.
Jim then revealed that the teapot held a bunch of mini gifts. There was a cassette (presumably some type of mixtape), a high school yearbook photo of Jim, a Boggle timer, two hot sauce packets that Pam mistook as ketchup, and a miniature golf pencil which Pam once threw at Jim after losing.
Andy had Erin and got her gifts based on the 12 Days of Christmas. Whomever had Angela got her gray fabric. (It probably was Phyllis since she, as "Santa", gave her the fabric.)
Michael's PIN is revealed to be 9622.
Dwight's secret Santa gift has a part that is shaped like the graflex flash handle that was used to create the original lightsaber hilts for Star Wars (1977).
Santa (et al) are not spoiled. Santa and Mrs. Claus are shown as their original beginnings as pagan gods, killing people for sacrafice. An episode where Phoebe learns Santa isn't real and is upset by it.

Mose is Dwight's cousin and runs Schrute Farms with him. He was raised in sync with Amish traditions and seems completely oblivious to the outside world. At one point Zeke refers to him as the visionary when they were growing up and in a deleted scene from season three Dwight calls him the artsy one growing up.
To make up for ruining the Christmas party, Michael buys 15 bottles of vodka, which results in alcohol-fueled antics, such as Kelly (Mindy Kaling) randomly kissing Dwight, much to the dismay of Angela (Angela Kinsey).
Parks and Recreation does have three Christmas episodes: Season 2's “Christmas Scandal,†Season 4's “Citizen Knope,†and Season 5's “Ron and Diane.†The problem I have, call me a nitpicking nutcracker with too much festive fussiness, is that none of these episodes are overwhelmingly, relentlessly, undeniably Christmasy
Clerk : [Seriously considers] Fifteen bottles of vodka? Yeah, that should do it. Michael Scott : Well, happy birthday, Jesus. Michael Scott : Yeah.
Jim, however, has to leave the party early to arrive in Philadelphia for his sports marketing job; this causes Dwight to be visibly saddened. During the party, Darryl fears that Jim has forgotten to include him in the new job in Philadelphia. As such, he gets extremely drunk.
Honestly, where does it end with you people? Dwight: What about an authentic Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas? Drink some gluhwein, enjoy some hasenpfeffer. Enjoy Christmas with saint Nicolas' rural German companion, Belsnickel.
Dwight also speaks High German, but his knowledge of it is "pre-industrial and mostly religious", as might be expected if the language was learned exclusively in an Amish church or context.
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day - Sung by Dwight and Andy during the Christmas party.
Dwight Schrute brought the legend of Belsnickel to life in The Office season 9: this real-life Christmas tradition is rooted in German folklore. Dwight Schrute memorably dressed up as Belsnickel for The Office season 9 Christmas episode.
In fact, Belsnickel shares many of the same characteristics as Krampus but isn't as scary. But, compared to Krampus, he seems like a nice guy! He'll even deliver socks or shoes full of candy to children who have behaved, but if you've been bad, well, Belsnickel will give you a bunch of coal or a switch.
(Strangely enough, Jim is Dwight's best friend, and vice versa. He's great at desperate grand gestures and bad at the day-to-day stuff); and Daryl getting mad and chugging whisky punch because he thinks Jim forgot about his promise to bring him on to the new gig.
Pennsylvania Dutch Traditions. The German and Swiss immigrants who came to Pennsylvania around 1700 brought with them their own beloved Christmas traditions, which are still alive and well in Pennsylvania Dutch communities today, and have helped to shape all Americans' Christmas traditions.
You may remember Dwight Schrute, the quirky top paper salesman from NBC's “The Office†(by the way, there is a German spin-off, called Stromberg). From his strict sense of law and order to his upkeep of old Schrute family traditions, he proudly lives his German (Pennsylvania Dutch) heritage.
Jan's secret affair with Hunter was subtly hinted at in The Office, but it wasn't so subtle that it went unnoticed. Later in the series, he was able to catch onto the fact that his girlfriend Donna was cheating on him, yet was never able to catch onto Jan's infidelity.
A popular fan theory poses that Astrid's father is actually Jan's then 17-year-old assistant Hunter Raymond. A deleted scene from "Baby Shower" reveals that Kevin frequents the same sperm bank Jan became pregnant with Astrid from, which means that there is a (very small) possibility that Kevin could be Astrid's father.
Jan and Michael didn't officially become a couple until their hookup went public following their trip together to Jamaica. They then break up for good but that's not the end of Jan. Following the breakup, she kept at it with her candle-making company, Serenity by Jan.
However, a recent episode of the Office Ladies podcast, hosted by series stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, reveals that the original script had explicitly named the father of Jan's daughter Astrid. And it was not Michael, nor her beloved assistant Hunter, nor anyone in the series' canon.
Plot. Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) realizes that Michael Scott (Steve Carell) mistakenly assumed he was making his feelings for Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) known to everyone. He tells Michael that he meant this to be a secret between the two of them.
When Baumgartner asked if there was “real love†between Michael and Jan, Hardin said she thought so but, of course, their relationship was anything but healthy. “Yeah, I do,†she said. “I think it was completely dysfunctional, but I do. I think she didn't even know that she was in love with him.
One of the mysteries of "The Office" — like what was in the teapot note from Jim to Pam — is who was the father of Jan Levinson's baby. It definitely wasn't Michael, and she confirmed that while she got pregnant when she was with Michael.
Michael intensely despises Toby because, according to Michael, his job was to "make the office fun, while [Toby's] job is to make the office lame". As Michael sneers, "Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family.
There's no doubt about it, Jan and Michael were in an abusive relationship. In case it was presented clearly enough in their everyday interactions, it was clearly shown in "Dinner Party." Remember when Michael and Jan show everyone their bedroom and there was a video camera next to their bed?
