LOVE it, especially the simple synth groove.
It was a UK single in Xmas 1979 (I first heard it in 1982), became a US single by 1984, and was a Back to the Egg bonus track in the 90s.

This gets some dislike out there (I've seen it on Worst Holiday Songs lists), but it's fun and quirky.

The amount of hate this gets is strange to me. Maybe because people consider Paul in the highest regard but Christmas songs aren't meant to be "good" the sense people would expect from him. I love this!

The original version sucks. The only version I like is Diana Ross's.

One of the worst songs of all time, holiday or not. There is no doubt this song was made up some morning in about an hour, production and recording 20 minutes, and what do you know, now we will hear it for another 60 years, every December.

Of course I remember it. It's not like we ever get a chance to forget when holiday season rolls around.

OMG last night this came on my favorite AC station that I listen to late at night and I was reminded of how much it really, really BLOWS. The production is straight up awful and don't get me started on the lyrics and melody. YUCK
This is much better as I mention in my previous post above:

40th anniversary! Love it or hate it, it's one of less than 10 songs since then that can be considered a Xmas classic.

It sounds like Paul McCartney wanted to press every button on his new shitty keyboard and make a holiday classic, but he only succeeded at one of those things

'Back to the Egg' was an awful album. Rolling Stone called the album "the sorriest grab bag of dreck in recent memory", which kinda describes this song. He didn't even get to promote the album much, since he got arrested in Tokyo while touring.

One of those often-played Christmas songs my AC station (Lite FM 93.9) played and still plays around Christmas song. When I was younger, I thought this song was from the 80s with its use of synthesizers (not often associated with 70s music)
