If I’m going to listen to a Christmas song on Christmas day, please let it be a tight, raucous punk tune with lyrics from Santa Claus’s perspective that include sentiments such as “Th Grinch/ He freaks me out/ I’m going to be his ass/ If I see him.” Luckily, I am celebrating during a strange, compromised, glorious time when Pom Pom Squad is here to deliver exactly that kind of yuletide blast and rattle.

As the song says, “Let’s get together and we’ll ho ho ho and stuff.” So you know, Joey Ramone bless us, everyone.
