I have a lot of articles up at Pop Heist. This one is very personal, because it’s the 10 songs I think of when I think of Christmas.
Of course, after I finished this and it posted I realized I forgot “Christmastime Is Here” and Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody”. Ah well.

I love when I can tie my Biblical Studies degree* into an interesting article! I took some of the most mind-blowing info from the best book I read this year and served it up with a little bit of Ethan magic. #popheist

There's so much lore around the Biblical Magi, or "wise men", that goes unknown! Take a dip into the weirdness around this Christmas trio! @ethankaye.bsky.social has a lesson for you.

It’s not every day that you have a dream about meeting Amitabh Bachchan and then waking up wanting to learn Hindi. Now I want to learn Hindi, like in a night class or something.

I wrote a song parody. I don’t really do song parodies, but I was inspired.
The voice of Frosty the Snowman had four families. Didn't use the magic hat after all.

Daniel Dockery is coming out with the history of Batman: The Animated Series in 2026 and he drew this for me! It’s Batman. He is a night!

Oh man, this is a fun article. The Patti LaBelle Christmas Tree Lighting Disaster is always wonderful, I just added some commentary, including a fantastic joke alluding to the Lincoln assassination.
One of the worst tragedies to hit Washington DC was in 1996 when diva Patti LaBelle struggled through "This Christmas" with zero support.

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

Dennis Weaver just showed up!
I just looked him up and he’s not Doodles Weaver, soooo…. I don’t care.
Man, I’d kill for a Dean Martin/Doodles Weaver mashup. #heistmas

Bob Hope arrives. Just watched The Princess and the Pirate last week. Not a bad film, if I saw it when I was 11 I would have lost my mind.
Now there’s a Don DeLuise sketch. Office party. He gets deliriously drunk 20 seconds after having a shot of *vodka*. What is this? #heistmas

I took a break from watching the 1968 Dean Martin Christmas Special to have a mini-freakout that my sandwich had sauerkraut when I specifically said not to put sauerkraut on it. I’m back.
That Dean Martin, he sure is looking like he’s in pain. #heistmas

YouTube’s ads seem to be aimed squarely at people who have money. Big assumptions.
Oh, and Dean Martin keeps touching his face. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. #heistmas

Bob Newhart and Dean Martin are doing a transaction scene, but doing it fairly well. That’s on Newhart, he’s got the skills, the delivery. Dean Martin looks sweaty. Unhealthy sweaty. God only knows what’s happening to his internal organs. #heistmas
