I recall a December lunch with you on Newbury St, way pre-Covid, when I excitedly informed you of Blondie’s new Christmas song, which of course was neither Blondie’s nor new. The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping” quickly made it to my (comparatively pathetic) Christmas playlist. Then last year, a few blocks away on Newbury St, in the women’s department at TJMaxx, I was blown away by the store’s normally blasé Muzak, which introduced me (Music ID) to “Driving Home for Christmas” by Nathan Evans (and he’s Scottish, to boot!). In between those two events, the Christmas Elf playlist had magically (deceptively) appeared on my iPod. Meanwhile, I implore you to check out For King + Country’s “Little Drummer Boy”, (and the forgive the exploitation of parentheses).
