Wake Up With Patton Oswalt’s ‘Christmas Shoes’ Bit

This is not merely a video I try to post here every year, to me it’s a holiday tradition. As much a part of my Christmas season as Mariah Carey songs or Hallmark movies are to some other people. The ultimate takedown of the ultimate bad Christmas song by someone who loves the holiday season as much as I do. And therefore can’t stand the insanely dark, depressing treacle of New Song’s grim Christmas fairy tale. Come for the laughs, stay for the logic behind God striking a little Dickensian street urchin’s mom down with cancer on His own son’s birthday. This is a timeless, perennial classic.
