Yes, Virginia, there is a Shatner Claus
Available on streaming services everywhere.
Cat Stevens said it best: "Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world." It truly, truly is.
While anyone could argue all day long about whether or not this is the best of all possible worlds, there's a load of evidence to support the assertion that it's the wackiest.
Case in point: William Shatner's 2018 Christmas album Shatner Claus. Yes, it's real. No, we wouldn't make up that kind of thing just to scare children. Yes, you can purchase it on websites like Bandcamp and Amazon.
While we could editorialize all day long about how weird this particular list of guest stars is. Instead, we've chosen to present to you, unedited, the tracklist for William Shatner's Shatner Claus. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas.
