Eric Cartman warbles a soulful misdirection of "O Holy Night" ("Jesus was born and so I get presents"). Not to ignore Hanukkah, Parker and Shaiman expand the tune "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" into a five-part round for Kyle, his parents, Stan and Cartman; and Kyle plaints "The Lonely Jew on Christmas...
