Dax takes the premise of writing a Santa letter on “Dear Santa” as a launching point to both asses his life up to now, put forth aspirational bravado and a comically disappointed diss. The video tells this story with Dax playing himself and Santa at once. Both writing the letter and responding. And bringing the Grinch into the mix from the beginning, and as a rapper later, Dax ups the ante on the absurd with the demands reaching cartoonish proportions including a death threat to Santa once he says he might not be able to come through on some of those items on the wish list but he knows someone who can “help out,” that being the Grinch, who in this scenario is a big of a gangster. Apparently in the world of this song, Santa and The Grinch are in the same universe and have each other’s numbers. Although we’re finally getting around to writing up the single well after Christmas, it’s the kind of video and song that works regardless of season because a good, weird premise transcends such considerations.
