When Betty gives Bob the horse at the end, he throws it at the Christmas tree, and you hear the breaking tinkle of glass. Why would someone just throw a gift down, like it was garbage? Can't he hold on to it while he kisses her? Besides, just by coming back, he knew she had forgiven him. This moment turns my stomach. Jerk!

I don't remember it that way (I thought he tossed it in a bag) but I'll look.

Yeah, he drops it in the tree, but it misses most of the branches and pretty much hits the floor. My guess is that the camera angle was supposed to hide what he did with the horse, and that viewers wouldn't have noticed anything. But from where the camera was, he should have handed the horse to Phil to hold while he was pitching woo to Betty. Hehe-- pitching woo.....
Just once, I'd like someone to call me sir without adding 'you're making a scene' ~H Simpson
That's my guess, too. I never noticed it! I just saw the kiss.

That move has bemused us for years and we always comment on it!
It quickly drops out of frame, but must catch on the branches because that Christmas tree shakes a bit.
She may see him as a knight, but his handling of that gift does seem rather cavilier.
That statue looked like it was made of a hard-to-break material, such as resin (or whatever was the 1954 equivilant) - possibly even made of wood.
The tinkling sound you hear sounds to me as if it's a ornament breaking, or the light bulbs (C7 bulbs) clanking on the tree.
Don't think Bob meant disrespect by it.

It always surprises me, but it doesn't bother me. Perhaps it's not made of a heavy material. And I keep coming back to his song, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" where he sings the line "and presents on the tree". Back in the day, presents were actually set on the branches and not under the tree. Maybe it's just my way of justifying it. ;) So when he tosses it on the branches I'm fine with it.
