Earlier this month, several members of the @popheist.com crew put together 10-song ultimate Christmas playlists, which we dropped into our newsletter for paid subscribers. This is mine:

On the #Heistmas front, @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social wrote about Andy Williams' "The Holiday Season" which, yes, is an unhinged holiday song. Platonic ideal of a Pop Heist post right here.

Yesterday for @popheist.com's #Heistmas Advent Calendar, I wrote about the improbable insanity of Van Halen's December 1991 free concert in the city of Dallas. Merry Christmas from Van Halen!

For today's @popheist.com #Heistmas Advent Calendar, I wrote about the performance of "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's December 2023 funeral, the purest and most invigorating celebration of a life well lived I've ever seen.

There's a reason why so many classic Christmas songs are about missing people, or places, or times we can't reclaim. The #Heistmas Advent Calendar continues with "Fairytale of New York."

If there’s one thing I can say about the 1968 Dean Martin Christmas Special, is that it took place in 1968. #heistmas

And lastly, my annual reminder that Robert Sidney was a gay soldier in WWII who toured with Irving Berlin's all-soldier revue THIS IS THE ARMY, performing on the literal front lines.
Happy holidays to all. #Heistmas

I always forget just how long the children's gift-a-thon goes on, but it's magic. Jimmy Stewart, the Christmas icon, smiling and telling little kids they're going to get toys! How could you not love that? #Heistmas

We should absolutely bring back the Christmas tradition of telling needy kids via national television that they're getting a bunch of free toys. #Heistmas

Dean Martin is what happens when a crate of beef jerky sits next to a tuxedo and an atomic bomb goes off. #heistmas

Doodles Weaver could have replaced Jerry Lewis. I believe that. He’s not in the 1968 Dean Martin Christmas Special, but I’d love if Doodles Weaver showed up. He died in 1983. The special isn’t over, he could still show up. #heistmas

It is truly remarkable how quickly Dean Martin could slip from "Hey I'm just your drunk uncle funnin' around" into "It's me, the King of Cool with the pantydropper voice." Happens in a damn second. #Heistmas

This is where you'd think Dean Martin is gonna be the most famous person you'll see tonight.
But you'd be wrong. #Heistmas
