Wow--what a nice familial ending, with everyone settling back into real life. Things I loved:
I like Kermit walking quietly through the chaos all around him, nodding to himself, happy to see everything getting back to the way it should be. And you know I like that, once he's satisfied that all if right with this friends and his world, he snuggles down with his honey on the couch. There's something very satisfying about seeing Kermit's somewhat fatherly interest in everyone's welfare and happiness and then, at last, seeing to his own. Very nice.
I enoyed the impressive list of food items offered by Juhl's pizza.

"We surrender!!" the old hecklers cried, waving a white flag as some of the boxes landed with a thud around them.
Very funny--someone should tell Fozzie. Maybe if he simply pelted them with food, they'd hush!

The friends Kermit had made in Hollywood known simply as "The Muppeteers" were the ones launching the fast food at their targets, a sort of happy chaos ensuing that moment.
I am soooo not surprised that it is the human beings who are causing all the real mayhem....

Nightime fell across the blanketed cityscape, tucking everyone into a vast ocean of softened darkness.
This was very comforting and beautifully written. Nighttime falling across the city, everyone cozy with someone they care about...hmmm.

Ed was locking up the toy shop before heading home to the dorms, a slight longing look on his face, trusting in that Catherine would indeed find a way to get them to Vegas in time as she had offered.
Don't you worry--we're gonna see each other soon in Vegas. (I may need some extra hands to root out an imposter.)

Not to be outdone, Kermit and Piggy had taken up the couch in the middle of the living room, almost everybody else out strolling or asleep, including Robin. Kermit looked rather pleased with himself, one arm free from the tangle of limbs between him and his lady pig. Piggy was tired, but happy, falling asleep on the couch glad to be back home with her Kermie.
"Yep... This was the greatest Muppet Christmas ever. Jim would've been proud."
With that, the frog nodded off himself, that pervasive smile etched upon his froggy face as the scene faded out back to the ever-present Plutonian shores.
Already said it but "YEA!" (Waves arms about head in excitement)

Thunk! That was my stamp of approval. Take a well-deserved rest Ed--then start thinking up the next one!
