Howard's house was built from scratch in the Shadow Hills area of south California, with a reinforced roof that could stand the weight of the actors and the camera crew. Some of the crew were unaware of this and were surprised when they went into the house to find it completely empty, something which director Seth Gordon is very proud of. (imdb.com)

According to director Seth Gordon, the film's subject is the difficulty all people have of reconciling who they are and the person they're supposed to be, which is why it's so hard to spend Christmas with one's family and why it can engender uneasiness. Naturally, he also felt Christmas was an amazing playground for comedy. (imdb.com)
