I love this song. Seems like my favorite Christmas songs are anti-Christmas songs.
Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

Oh my, I haven’t heard that one in a few years - I laughed through the whole thing. My favorite is when Cartman has a few quiet seconds as stan’s dad walks into the scene and kind of whispers “that’s why they’re lame.”
This is a Christmas Classic!

One of the few Christmas songs I can listen to without ever skipping. The recorded version is better - they skip Ike’s verse in the video.

I’m so lamely broke this year, I can’t even cough up the postage for holiday cards to friends and family, so I’ve been doing e-cards (when I find ones that aren’t too lame to send out.) I found a Hanukkah card to send to two Jewish friends that made me laugh inappropriately. I’m sure American Greetings did not intend it to amuse me as much as it did. It was a Disney-licensed Winnie the Pooh card — Pooh Bear sat on the floor, spinning his dreidel and gorging on chocolate Hanukkah gelt while the Dreidel song played in the background. I wrote to my friends that I had no idea he was “Winnie the Jew” and I wondered if he agonized over his religiously incorrect friendship with Piglet.
Fortunately, my friends are as demented as I am and forwarded the card to their families. (Keep in mind, these are the same friends who are taking me out to a BBQ joint for Jewish Christmas tomorrow. I think much pork will be consumed.) :)
Merry Christmas to you and Kristen!!
