>Struggling post-punk band the Waitresses dragged themselves off the road and
>into a Manhattan studio to record - of all things - a Christmas song on a
>hot August day in 1981. Little did they know they were about to create a
>classic - a song that would well outlive the band, the 80s and, sadly, the
>frontwoman who sang it.
