John O'Brien provides plenty of Yuletide laughter when he sets his sights on one of our favorite Christmas songs. From the first day of Christmas, when his true love gives him a partridge in a pear tree, the narrator of the song finds himself in one comical mix-up after another. The result is pure, one-of-a-kind O'Brien.
