I have a theory that he’s not singing “simply having a wonderful Christmastime,” he actually saying “simply HALVING a wonderful Christmastime.” Every time he says it in that stupid irritating way he does, he’s halving it again and again, like the half-life of a radioactive element. He’s subjecting Christmas wonder to radioactive decay, until all that’s left is an inert lump of lead.
