Everything we can’t stop loving, hating, and thinking about this week in pop culture.
There’s going to visit the Rockefeller tree; despite it being a touristy mob scene, there’s something that warms the soul about the pilgrimage. There’s watchingand getting a little misty-eyed. There’s the ceremonial first listening of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” byEach night ends with “you know what, I should just pull up that YouTube video of Darlene Love singing ‘ Christmas ’ one more time.
In recent years, something hallowed has joined that list of traditions: Watching two drag queens do holiday parodies of popular songs in an original musical that mocks the pomp and circumstance of Christmas while also driving home the exact reason the season matters.
I can say, after seeing this year’s show, that the act does matter. It’s boring to talk about, so I’ll be brief: I’ve been feeling very jaded, resigned, and desponded, and at some point while giggling for two hours straight during the show, Jinkx and Dela sent a jolt that activated me again. Not in any hyperbolic way, but it was a reminder to still care, to still laugh, and to still just exist, but, in this community, it’s the caring, the laughing, and the just plain existing that matters.
