“Teach Me How to Understand Christmas” is Annie’s response to Jeff’s objections to her performing in the glee club’s Christmas performance – she’s an intelligent woman who also happens to be Jewish and should ostensibly be above debasing herself by performing in a revealing-but-festive outfit.

[Annie Edison (Alison Brie)]
Teach me how to understand Christmas
Show me how to open a box
It hurts my little head
When I'm lying in my bed
With visions of sugarplum... socks?
[Jeff Winger (Joel McHale)]
Is this a bit?
[Annie Edison (Alison Brie)]
Teach me how to understand Christmas
Do I trim the tree or the deer?
I can't keep it straight
And now it's getting late
Where does the stocking go?
Here? I can't see!
What's a Christmas Eve?
Is that Santa's lady?
Are snowmen cold or hot?
Won't you be my daddy?
I'm a silly Christmas baby
Tell me what to deck
Hehe... 'cause I forgot
Brain hurty understandy Christmas
Mistletoe for eaty? Taste good?
You smarty, me dumb
Help pretty have fun
Boopy doopy doop boop
Sex

Megan Ganz: That song too was supposed to be a satire of the way that those Santa Baby songs infantilize women’s sexuality. Of course, it’s Alison Brie doing it, so it’s going to be sexy.
Alison Brie: It was funny to see people’s reactions to that on Twitter: I’m not sure if I’m aroused or put off.
