==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode is a parody of the 1953 Best Picture winner, From Here to Eternity.
**Despite this, the episode has no similarities at all to the movie, similar to This Is Your Knife, which is named after a 1950s TV show called This Is Your Life.
*The moral of the episode is a saying that reassures that everything will be all right. It also means that there is no lasting damage done in a situation.
==Superlatives==
*Cuddles' injury is similar to Toothy's injury in Camp Pokeneyeout.
*Petunia's death is similar to her death in Wrath of Con and Cuddles' injury in Just Be Claus, since all of these involve getting horizontally sliced in half by Splendid's eye beams.
*Giggles' injury is similar to Lumpy's injury in Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, Cuddles, Toothy, and Handy's injury in Wrath of Con, and the second generic tree ninjas injury in Books of Fury.
*Handy's death is similar to Lumpy's death in Cubtron Z and a Good Flippy's death in Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II).
==Continuity==
*The tree house Sniffles and Nutty are in is the same one as in House Warming. It has the same details, decorations, and shape.
*Flaky's winter clothing (scarf, except her boots) appears again in this episode, her scarf is similar to the one she wears in Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!.
==Production Notes==
*This episode aired along with The Wrong Side of the Tracks and And the Kitchen Sink. The alternate title for this conglomeration of the segments is "One Foot in the Grave." Cuddles, Giggles, Flaky, Lifty, and Shifty appear in all 3 of these episodes. Additionally, Cuddles, Giggles, Lifty, and Shifty die in all three, while Flaky dies twice.
*Although David Winn replaced Lumpy some time before this episode, this is his first time voicing Splendid.
*This episode and The Wrong Side of the Tracks (and possibly other TV episodes) were at least partially produced in 2005.
*On the DVD commentary for this episode, which can be found on the DVD Season One. Volume 1, Ken Pontac stated that the scene where Sniffles and Nutty are being tossed around inside the treehouse after Splendid picks it up to hit part of the giant snowball away was from a video that him and the others saw on the internet of a school bus overturning/crashing, and the kids inside were seen flying around the inside the bus, due to the onboard security camera. However, it is unknown about which video the team used as a reference.
*This is Kenn Navarro's first time voicing Lifty and Shifty.
