      <![CDATA[I'm already sick and tired of Christmas songs.  I don't miss them at all.  To me, Christmas songs are a grueling reminder that another damn year has passed me by, that's all.<br />
<br />
I had never heard of "Christmas Shoes" (I'm blessed?) and I agree that it's lame-o.  I didn't even get through half the song. I did enjoy the comedy routine, though.<br />
<br />
Finally, I know they're only a tiny minority, but December is a big month for the Jews as well.  As far as holiday songs go, I'll still take Adam Sandler's ditty over any post-18th Century Christmas song.

      <![CDATA[@6 - There's a version on youtube somewhere with a comedy duo performing the song, but with the roles sort of... changed. The woman still sings the woman's part, but is clearly drunk, and the man is not participating in the song and trying to get her to actually leave. If I can find it, I'll post it here.<br />

Most of the time, I agree with you. But there are versions of it where it's clear that they both know what is going on and it's pure flirtation. It's in the vocal delivery.

I'm tempted to download the Shins cover just to mop up after the inevitable earworms that arise from hearing the Sir Paul original at the store.
