Christmas songs advent calendar: Day 16. The Waitresses 1981 was the year the cool kids fell for rap and made up song titles with bad puns in them - such as Blondie's Rapture and this track from Ohio posse The Waitresses. Regardless of the title, Christmas Wrapping is one of the most charming, insouciant festive songs ever, with a lively brass section and a nice - if implausible - story where a girl has her lonely holiday turned on its head when she bumps into the handsome guy she's been chasing all year while out buying a jar of cranberries. So good it has survived numerous adverts and even a Spice Girls cover.
