I’ve been collecting holiday music for about 20 years, so finding something that’s new to me but not brand new is pretty tough. And to come across something wonderful that I somehow missed along the way… that’s just about the best. Today’s song is right in that sweet spot – it’s from an album called “Xmas! The Beatmas” by a Beatles tribute band called The Rubber Band. The album is full of mashups of Beatles songs that are refashioned as Christmas songs, or vice versa. This one is a cover of the Wham! holiday hit “Last Christmas,” but they play it as if it was the Beatles’ cover of “Please Mr. Postman,” and it’s pretty close to perfect.
