This is the last Christmas song that I will feature…because right now people have had about enough Christmas songs in every restaurant, mall, and grocery store…this one I don’t hear as much.
I also want to thank everyone for dropping by here this year.
The Beatles recorded this in 1967 and wasn’t released until 1994 paired with “Free As A Bird”. It is a fun Christmas song that will stick in your head. The Beatles did not release a Christmas song commercially… only to their fan club when they were active.
Recorded December 6, 1966, and November 28, 1967, in London, England, this song was never officially released until it appeared as the B-side to “Free As A Bird” in 1994. The original version was distributed to The Beatles fan club in 1967. It’s the only song ever written specifically for the Beatles Fan Club members.
Many upbeat Pop groups of this era like The Beach Boys and The Four Seasons released Christmas songs, but The Beatles never had an official Christmas release.

This is Paul McCartney here, I’d just like to wish you everything you wish yourself for Christmas.
This is John Lennon saying on behalf of the Beatles, have a very Happy Christmas and a good New Year.
George Harrison speaking. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas, listeners everywhere.
This is Ringo Starr and I’d just like to say Merry Christmas and a really Happy New Year to all listeners
[a John Lennon pastiche at this point, very hard to understand]

One that you don’t hear enough! Another couple days and the Christmas songs disappear from the radio/ stores etc… and you can once again go places without big crowds…
And I love Christmas for some reason…I always have but yea the public part gets on my nerves.
Oh nothing against christmas here either- just the endless two months of songs everywhere you go- and the big crowds at the mall.. other than that.. all good!
Yea the starting in October is just wrong.
The bits at the end are the best part for me.
Have you heard it before? I was just wondering. I have heard it just a few times on radio before…it was only for the fan club at the time… Yes John being John at the end.
no not before today
Well good…not the same old thing then…. it’s simple but Beatlely fun.
Thanks for posting, Bad. Never actually heard this one before. Typical Beatles fun song.
Glad it was something new for you…Thanks for commenting.
Neat! Didn’t know they did one!
For a fan club disc…it’s not bad.
New music! Thanks.
Sounds like Lennon doing a drunken Scotsman impression with what sounds like some Gaelic thrown in.
Yep it’s one that is not totally ran into the ground….yet
He sounds like he is having fun.
