It's a play on the song "All I want for Christmas is you"
- rr808 4y agoNice, I'm grumpy about hearing that song every 5 minutes as well. :)
- semireg 4y agoThe original play might have been this 1947 classic All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_I_Want_for_Christmas_Is_My_Two_Front_Teeth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_I_Want_for_Christmas_Is_My...
- djur 4y agoI think this feels grammatical to native speakers because "my two front teeth" is interpreted as a single item or gift. There's kind of an elided "to have" there: "all I want for Christmas is to have my two front teeth". "these seven TypeScript improvements" don't form a coherent whole in the same way, so it feels ungrammatical.
- tshaddox 4y agoI think it’s because “all” is a singular noun and the subject of the verb “is.” I would use “is” even with a list of items at the end of the sentence.
