Christmas Song Advent Calendar 2017: Day 5

~ Alex the Pensmith

  • ARTIST: Spice Girls
  • SONG: Christmas Wrapping
  • ALBUM: Goodbye (1998, Virgin)

I mean. The Waitresses’ original version was amazing anyway, but this Spice-y version – the B-side to their third Christmas chart topper in a row with ‘Goodbye’ – is equally brilliant. It even finds time to name check their world tour and assorted pregnancies from that year (1998) as well as referencing Tesco and 24 hour garages. What’s literally not to love?

Don’t forget to follow our Spotify playlist to ensure you’re getting all the songs each day in the run up to Christmas!
