Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is a holiday classic and a herald of the season. Released all the way back in 1981 and then forgotten about by the band, it quickly made it's way into radio stations Christmas playlists.
In this video we explore the writing and recording of Christmas Wrapping but also the history of The Waitresses, a band that started out as a fake band but became a real band.
