The seasonal focus on "A Long December" is distracting us from recognizing that "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby" is the '90s "Visions of Johanna"

My annual Christmas reminder: The letters to Santa are not why Santa was found in court to be Santa in "Miracle on 34th Street." It was because prosecuting Santa Claus looked really bad politically for the judge and he was looking for any excuse to let him go. The moral is: Work the refs

"Feliz Navidad": Proof if you write a song with two absolutely irresistible choruses you can pretty much call it a day at that

This Gwen Stefani song both sucks and is an obvious ripoff of "Christmas Wrapping" but you can't really get mad about a Christmas song sounding like another Christmas song

For years, people have wondered why Andy Williams's description of Christmas includes "scary ghost stories." The answer: Andy Williams is cool

Jon Langston - "I Only Want You for Christmas" (2022)
This was filmed at legendary Nashville karaoke bar Santa's Pub, one of many country videos filmed there (but this is one of the few where it's explicitly karaoke). RIP Denzel "Santa" Irwin (1950-2025).

Fun fact, the original version of this, Alan Jackson's "I Only Want You for Christmas" predates Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by a couple years. There's only so many topics for Christmas songs!

Bari Weiss literally runs a unaccredited conservative "college" out of a disused apartment store here in Austin containing a marble bust of her own head. Ain't a metaphor in the English language for her whole career that's gonna be more on the nose than that.

Sometimes you work with cast or crew just once. Other times you make 5 movies with the same person. So instead of saying goodbye, on the last day of shooting, many of us say “See you on the next one.”
Today, I don’t want to say goodbye, so let me just say, PJ, my friend, see you on the next one.
