"Christmas Wrapping" always rubbed me the wrong way for its faux-feminist hypocrisy. After extolling the joys and virtues of a solo holiday for roughly 1,000 verses the singer throws over the idea without a moment's hesitation when offered the chance to hook up with a vague acquaintance she's been "chasing" (it isn't even clear if he's the same guy she met at the ski lodge, but no matter). Pretty retro stuff, even for the '80s.
For those who have yet to plug the Palentir-shaped hole in their hearts and drop Spotify, here's a playlist of as many of the songs on this list that I could locate.
