Christmas Day (I wish I Was Surfing) - Emmy The Great and Tim Wheeler

Of all the Christmas songs which have been recorded, only the best can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians and at number 12 we have Christmas Day (I wish i was surfing) by Emmy The Great and Tim Wheeler.

This always sounds very Beach Boy's but that could be the Surfing lyrics which isn't very Christmassy i agree and it is about hating the cold with the singer wishing he was somewhere warm and where the sun is shining which is fair enough because Wheeler, once of Ash fame, hails from Northern Ireland which is somewhere that the Sun only puts in a fleeting appearance for a couple of days each August.
Emmy the Great is Chinese/English and they were a couple when they put this out from their 'This is Christmas Album' which came about when they were snowed in one Christmas and includes Jesus the Reindeer and Don't call me Mrs Christmas.
My favourite song from a very good Festive album and it has a very 90's feel to it with a pop-punk edge and it's a very catchy, up tempo song with not a snowman or a jingle bell to be heard.
