Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
[link] From 1981. A great modern holiday song. I love the sort of laconicness of the lead vocal (Patty Donahue), which may derive a bit from Debbie Harry. The song and band are classified as "new wave", which was a pretty diverse phenomenon. This song has brass and sax, which quite a few 80s acts featured. There weren't nearly as many rules than as the later decades.
