Patton Oswalt’s ‘Christmas Shoes’

So during my brief tenure on a lesser blog that I wrote for before this one (hey, we all have to cut our chops somewhere.

Every day on Twitter, I see someone tweet “OMG! Christmas Shoes! Best song ever!” and I am like NO, ANONYMOUS TWEETER, NO! Because this song is shit and absolutely fucking disturbing once you actually think about it. But I guess that’s what happens when you assume that God is responsible for everything good in your life: you also have to accept that God is responsible for all the shit in it, too.
