Merry Christmas from the queens of Drag Race Season 6

So it’s finally here, huh? It’s Christmas, and whether you’re celebrating at home, with friends or family — or whether you’re celebrating without power, all the best to you and yours.

While my mother lambastes me for getting in a quick blog before Christmas (“Who works on Christmas Eve?” “I’m dedicated!” “STOP TRANSCRIBING WHAT I’M SAYING.” Good times) enjoy this pair of festive, Yuletide carols from the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6. Who can forget such classic standards as “Tuck the Balls” or “Away in a Mang-Her”? No one, that’s who.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without RuPaul’s Christmas Ball, the gayest, most forgotten Christmas special since Frosty the Snowman. Merry Christmas to all, and — fuck, Mom, I know! I’m finishing up here! Jesus Christ . . .
