  • English professor played this and I struggled not to laugh load like an idiot

  • He is so brilliant, I LOVE the fact that he is so young and is already being studied in schools. Well done David!!! xoxoxox

  • @RoboticPrism as did I...

  • I'm Dutch and I don't think you can hate on David Sedaris. This essay was actually spot-on, I absolutely loved it. En alle Nederlanders, hou op met zeuren, het is gewoon een geweldige essay, zie de humor er van in! Trouwens Sinterklaas en de Kerstman zijn afgeleid van dezelfde persoon. (Translation: And to all the Dutch, quit whining, it is just a great essay, recognize the humor! By the way Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus are in fact both descendants of the same person.)

    Love your work David!

  • My english teacher introduced this video to me too! Is it me or do English teachers have such an amazing since of humor!

  • Listened to this in my AP U.S. History class. It made my entire day.

  • This is extra nice with the YouTube Snow. Sitting by the television fire with a mug of warm cocoa and being regaled with the Story of the Spanish living former bishop of Turkey. A holiday tradition.

  • I just want to add ... ( weak adding ) the 6 to 8 black guys are white and they clime into the chimey's to drop the presents ...
