I'd love a link to that video, as well. At the very least, the transcribed lyrics would be much appreciated.

I loved Christmastime for the Jews as well, but I think that Lazy Sunday was the highlight of the night.
Shampeless plug: I posted a bit about the difference between the lyrics in Christmastime for the Jews that showed up in the closed captions and the lyrics as sung by Darlene Love.
For those people looking for the lyrics, here's what I've been able to put together. Brackets indicate my uncertainties, so help out if you can.
Christmastime for the Jews
by Robert Smigel, Matt O’Brien, Eric Drysdale, Julie Klausner
On Christmas eve the Gentiles gather ‘round the Christmas tree. They stay at home and party with their goyishe family. They disappear one day each year and pass the eggnog ‘round, but it’s all right, ‘cause that’s the night the Jews control the town.
Well it happens every year on Christmas eve. All the happy Christian people take their leave. Yeah, the streets are deserted and there’s big news: It’s Christmastime for the Jews.
Yeah, the Holiday party starts ‘bout 6 PM. Ain’t nobody recreated [???] Yeah, the three wise men, that’s a big old snooze. Christmastime for the Jews.
They can finally see King Kong without waiting in line. They can eat in Chinatown and drink their sweet-ass wine. They can crank Barbara Streisand on the streets they cruise. Christmastime for the Jews.
They can gang up on the Quakers, play for the Lakers, [they can do what they wanna, be the soul of Madonna.] Get a chance to drive a tractor, win on Fear Factor, See Fiddler on the Roof with actual Jewish actors…
Now they really get the party going after dark, Circumcising grateful squirrels in the city park, Picking fights in the bars, knowing they can’t lose. Christmastime for the Jews.
Now it’s nearly 10:30. Yes, it’s time for bed, Daily Show reruns dancing in their heads. Maybe next year they’ll learn how to hold their booze. Christmastime for the Jews. [???] Christmastime for the Jews. Don’t get sick now. Christmastime for the Jews. [???]

And the missing line was :
"Ain't nobody recreating Bethlehem." I.e. no more manger scenes.
